Although local farmers and some industrial companies are using them, I think there are some serious problems. First there is no security to either the planes or tools stored in the hanger, secure doors are difficult and last I found I could build a T hanger cheaper than I could buy a tent hanger. Depending on climate, the fabric doesn't last all that long. Only big advantage is the ability to move it if you need to change airports.

I recently had an attempted break in on my steel framed/sheet metal hangar. Its your pretty typical construction. The perps just smashed my the door knob on my man door off. They hit me an one other hangar in my row. Probably because we were the only ones who didn't have a dead bolt. Fortunately, they didn't get in and I have since added a dead bolt. But in reviewing my hangar, I realized that with a nut driver, I could easily (in 5 minutes or less) pull enough siding off of it to get in. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Other Matronics Email List Services ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Post A New Message zenith701801-list@matronics.com UN/SUBSCRIBE http://www.matronics.com/subscription List FAQ http://www.matronics.com/FAQ/Zenith701801-List.htm Web Forum Interface To Lists http://forums.matronics.com Matronics List Wiki http://wiki.matronics.com Full Archive Search Engine http://www.matronics.com/search 7-Day List Browse http://www.matronics.com/browse/zenith701801-list Browse Digests http://www.matronics.com/digest/zenith701801-list Browse Other Lists http://www.matronics.com/browse Live Online Chat! http://www.matronics.com/chat Archive Downloading http://www.matronics.com/archives Photo Share http://www.matronics.com/photoshare Other Email Lists http://www.matronics.com/emaillists Contributions http://www.matronics.com/contribution ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- These Email List Services are sponsored solely by Matronics and through the generous Contributions of its members.
