A question (or three) for all here who have or have built hangars. I'm considering doing an airpark hangar/home but gotta do some hangar construction research... I'm thinking 50'X50' should do the trick, but I wonder about hangar/door height. For most non-commercial hangars I usually see door heights of either 12 or 14 feet. I can't imagine needing to fit a King Air or anything in there, so would the consensus be that a 12 foot door frame is adequate?
Then there's the door itself; bi-fold, no-fold hydraulic, or a Horton stack door. It appears that both Wilson Doors and Hydroswing have gone belly up, so I've found that leaves Schweiss and Hi-Fold Doors to be vendors for bi-fold and no-fold doors... I'm kinda liking the idea of the hydraulic lift no-fold door, but have no idea what the pricing will be like, I'll start requesting email quotes today. Any preferences or pros-cons on these doors or vendors? The Schweiss website looks like it has lots of info, just gotta try to digest it all in the next day or two.
So many variables, what to do...
