Aircraft hangars demand significantly more than a large enclosed space. They require wide access openings, substantial clear heights, unobstructed interiors, reliable weather protection, and structural systems capable of supporting demanding aviation operations.
Butler has extensive experience delivering aviation facilities designed around these requirements. Its systems can accommodate oversized hangar doors and large clear openings while providing the structural capacity necessary for aircraft maintenance, storage, and movement.
Butler’s experience also extends to large and highly specialized aviation facilities. Projects such as the Spirit Airlines maintenance hangar demonstrate Butler’s ability to create expansive column-free spaces, while the U.S. Coast Guard Consolidated Hangar Complex demonstrates how hangar, maintenance, office, storage, and specialized operational spaces can be integrated into one facility.
Large Clearspan Interiors
Aircraft require substantial maneuvering room, making interior columns particularly restrictive. Butler clearspan structural systems can create expansive column-free areas for aircraft storage, inspection, maintenance, and servicing. Butler has delivered hangars with clear spans reaching hundreds of feet.
Oversized Aircraft Access
The hangar door is one of the most important components of an aviation facility. Butler’s structural systems are engineered to accommodate large door openings and the structural demands associated with specialized hangar-door systems. Butler’s aviation projects include openings more than 400 feet wide and doors exceeding 60 feet in height.
Engineered for Demanding Loads
Aircraft hangars can involve substantial structural demands from large spans, equipment, cranes, specialized systems, and environmental loads. Butler’s Heavy Structures capabilities are designed for extreme spans, tall eave heights, heavy crane and equipment loads, and severe wind, snow, and seismic conditions.
Reliable Weather Protection
Aircraft and aviation equipment represent significant investments and require protection from the elements. Butler’s MR-24® standing-seam roof system is engineered for long-term weather resistance, and Butler has used it extensively on aviation projects.
Conditioned Interior Options
Maintenance and aviation facilities may require controlled interior environments. Butler can incorporate insulation and insulated wall systems into hangar designs to support thermal performance. The Spirit Airlines maintenance hangar, for example, uses insulated metal wall panels and a roof assembly with insulation.
Integrated Aviation Facilities
An aircraft hangar does not necessarily need to function as a standalone storage area. Butler systems can incorporate offices, maintenance shops, storage, administrative areas, and other support spaces within the overall facility.
Efficient Project Delivery
Pre-engineered building components are fabricated before arriving at the jobsite, helping streamline field assembly. Butler identifies faster construction as one of the benefits of its pre-engineered approach, particularly for projects where schedule certainty is important.
Can Butler design an aircraft hangar for large aircraft and oversized hangar doors?
Yes. Butler structural systems are engineered to accommodate large clear openings, tall clear heights, and specialized hangar-door systems. The exact dimensions and structural configuration are determined by the aircraft, door system, site conditions, applicable codes, and operational requirements. Butler has delivered aviation facilities with exceptionally large hangar openings for commercial, military, and specialty aircraft.

Frequently Asked Questions
Still deciding if a Butler building is right for your project? Here’s what most builders ask us before they get started.
Still have questions?
Talk to a real person. Call our Pro Desk Expert Line or request a callback.
What makes a Butler building different from other metal buildings?
Butler has been engineering steel buildings for over 125 years, and AM Star is an authorized Butler distributor, not a reseller of generic components. Every building you get through us uses genuine Butler engineered parts, backed by Butler’s manufacturing standards.
Can I customize the size and layout of my building?
Yes. Butler buildings are engineered to your exact specifications, size, use, and site requirements, whether that’s a small workshop or a large industrial facility. Our team works with you from initial design through structural engineering to make sure it fits your project.
How much does a Butler building cost?
Pricing depends on size, building type, durability grade, and site conditions, so there’s no single number that fits every project. Request a quote and we’ll get you accurate pricing fast, tailored to your specific building.
How long does the process take, from quote to finished building?
Timelines vary by project scope and current fabrication schedules. Once you request a quote, we’ll give you a realistic timeframe based on your specific building and location.
Do you handle engineering and permitting?
Yes. Every Butler building is engineered to meet local codes and structural requirements, with stamped drawings provided for permitting, backed by Butler’s manufacturing standards.
What's the difference between a Butler building and a barndominium?
A barndominium is one type of building you can build using Butler’s steel building system, combining residential living space with a metal building structure. It uses the same engineered components and durability standards as our other building types.
What if I'm not building new, I just need parts or repairs?
We also supply genuine Butler parts and components for repairs, replacements, or expansions, no need to order a full building. Browse our parts catalog or contact us directly.
