And make sure the structure is strong enough to handle any weight you'll be hanging from that I-beam...............

Either way, you can't put or hang anything against or on the wall.

I removed the piano hinge from the door-to-door setup, and hinged the man door to the upright frame member. The hinged door now tucks out of the way, and the tracked doors will roll much better. Also, space the "C" channel track at the top out from the side walls an inch or so. Now you can push the door without it banging on each upright column.

FulFab in Ohio makes hangars and they make their own doors in their factory. They have been doing this for more than 60 years. Their door motors ride on the truss above the door, which lessens the weight on the door during retraction and when sitting idle closed. They have a crew that erect the building on site. I built a row of 10 nested T?s at my airport (HAO) and the guys erected it in 5 days. Of course the pad and ramp was already installed - according to their specs. We had bids from several other hangar companies, and nothing else came close. Building erection costs from other contractors was double what FulFab charged, and the other contractors were quoting 1-2 months for the build. If you are anywhere near Ohio, consider FulFab.

There is a great You Tube video online of a Port-A-Port hangar being blown over at San Luis Obispo by a CRJ doing an engine run.

The second best thing was to add a good quality epoxy floor - not the home depot sort, but high solids from a paint vendor. I used Sherwin Williams. Love it. Cleans up so easy. It makes a huge difference.
I put in a Hydra-Link door made by Air-Side (airsidedoors.com). I'm very happy with it. Very sturdy, and well made.
As others have said....
As large as you can
HVAC if you can
All the electrical outlets you can
Plumb for air if you can

+1 for the epoxy floor. I used SW Armor Seal 1000. Oil and gas stains are no match for this stuff and it resembles a white mirror

I looked at that product but the reviews on Lowe's.com scared the *x*x* out of me.

Yep, I've been wanting a Higher Power door for over 12 years now. Just emailed them right now to ask for a current quote. I already have manually open swing open doors I designed and they work great but for the next hangar I think I'm getting tired of manually opening them.
