Hi Rick,

Try Plane Pocket out of Orange CA. They have a couple of options that may work for you.

Default Info

The Plane Pocket solution was a no go. Looked kind of neat in the pics, but...it cant handle the snow falls we get, it doesnt cover the wings and they charge $12K each. No kidding. I wonder how their sales are doing??

The covered shelters with the 15 year heavy fabric and the winches and ratchets seem to be the best solution so far. Pricing is in the $5K range give or take.

Just figured someone on here would have bought or seen some of these around airports and might have some good feedback. What would be really nice would be a set up like REDBULL uses for their hangars when they move into town for the races. Very nice, just cant find a supplier of that type of thing. Still looking.

any of those farm related shelters ( my parents have one it is really very neat) are only secure from winds when they are anchored into the ground. I suppose this would make it much more difficult for a tarmac/ asphalt covered ground, although you can get large cement blocks to anchor to.

the shelter my parents have is from farmtek , it has rachets for holdowns and removable lower side panels
