When it comes to protecting and maintaining valuable aircraft, the structure around them matters just as 
At Aegis Metal Solutions, we don’t just provide metal buildings—we deliver complete solutions. We know metal buildings, and we know what it takes to deliver a successful project.
6 Reasons Metal Buildings Are Ideal for Aircraft Hangars & Heliports
1. Wide Clear Spans Without Interior Columns | Aircraft need room—especially airplanes with long wingspans or helicopters with large rotors. Steel buildings allow for clear spans from 75 to over 100 feet, giving you:
- Unobstructed floor space
- Safer aircraft movement
- More flexible layout options for operations and storage
2. Custom Heights & Oversized Doors | Every aircraft type has different clearance needs. We design hangars and heliports with:
- Tailored ceiling heights
- Oversized bifold, hydraulic, or sliding doors
- Precise structural accommodations for rotors, wings, and tail sections
3. Built to Withstand the Elements
- Your hangar should be just as tough as your aircraft.
- Engineered steel frames for wind, snow, and seismic zones
- Fire- and corrosion-resistant cladding
4. Fast to Build, Efficient to Own
Time matters in aviation. Prefabricated metal buildings:
- Deliver faster than traditional construction
- Require fewer trades and less site time
- Keep operating costs low over the building’s life
5. Fully Customizable for Any Mission | From private jets to medevac helicopters, every operation is different. That’s why our buildings are built to match:
- Aircraft specs and clearance requirements
- Interior layout needs (offices, MRO bays, lounges)
- Energy efficiency, insulation, and even solar readiness
Our deep knowledge of metal building systems means your hangar is fit-for-purpose from day one.
6. Smarter Protection for Smarter Aviation
- Better climate control = better aircraft longevity
- Reduced condensation protects avionics and electronics
- Secure, insulated enclosures give you peace of mind
