“My favorite thing about working with Remuda was the people. I wasn’t just a number. They took the time to answer all my questions.”

Whether you own a single plane you fly for fun in your downtime or run an aviation business with a larger fleet that relies on a combination of storage, office space, and room for maintenance, a post frame hangar brings the security, protection, and ease of use you’ve been looking for.
With clear-span interiors, post frame is a natural fit for airplane hangar construction—going up efficiently, leaving safe clearance for wingspans, and flexing to suit personal hangars or commercial hangars.

Our personal approach to aircraft hangar design and construction means your building is sized around your fleet and built to make pre-flight checks and routines run smoother—so you have more time to spend in the cockpit.

The right door makes an airplane hangar building work. The wrong one turns it into a daily headache. Options include bi-fold, sliding, and hydraulic doors depending on your needs and budget—but the biggest call is sizing the opening so your wingtips clear comfortably and tails enter stress-free.

In an airplane hangar built with post frame, the interior is completely free of load-bearing walls and supports. With nothing standing between your planes and the runway, tight maneuvers and the risk of damaged wings are eliminated. That open floor also makes it easy to reposition, service, and store your aircraft—and to keep toolboxes, workbenches, fluids, and other gear off to the side and out of the way.

It’s convenient to pick a predesigned hangar kit, and for a basic build, it might do the job. But the truth is, those rarely consider the aircraft that will be in your hangar—wingspans, tail heights, and lengths vary, and you’ll often want to plan for support spaces like offices or separate storage rooms. A custom airplane hangar always starts from the same question: what do your fleet and routines actually call for?

An insulated, heated hangar protects your aircraft through Western Canadian weather and gives you a comfortable base to run your aviation business or tend to your planes year-round. Radiant in-floor heating, insulation, and proper ventilation all help you keep your aircraft—and everything else inside—in good shape.

For most pilots, owning aircraft comes with maintenance, repairs, and routine checks. Aviation businesses have all that too, plus the need for parts storage, offices, meeting rooms, and employee spaces like a lunchroom. The flexibility of post frame means your aircraft hangar design can fold those support spaces in, so everything that keeps your operation running sits under one roof.

Building an aircraft hangar is a significant investment in your property or business. Our planning resources are designed to help you make informed decisions well before the construction of your aircraft hangar starts, so you can move forward with confidence.
There are a few popular options for airplane hangar doors, including: bi-fold, sliding, hydraulic, and vertical opening styles. The right choice comes down to how wide you need the opening, the region you’re building in, your budget, and a few other factors a qualified builder would be happy to talk through.
Both. We build on private airstrips and on ground leases at public rural airports. When we design a hangar, we work within your site’s requirements, like setbacks, height limits, and any airport or municipal restrictions.
It comes down to size, door system, any secondary support spaces the design adds (like living space or offices), and whether you finish the interior with insulation, concrete, heat, and metal cladding or keep it as a shell only. Because your plans can vary that much, the most accurate number comes after a quick conversation to talk through your plans with a builder.
Aircraft hangars are commonly built as steel frame buildings, fabric shelters, or post frame structures, and the right option depends largely on the scale and size you’re building. Post frame hangars use wood as the structural frame, while steel and fabric use metal components. Post frame is often more cost-effective for private hangars or smaller commercial facilities. For larger hangars over 100′ wide, steel frame becomes a viable option, though Remuda has built post frame structures up to 112′.
