suggestions/ plans for simple inexpensive hangar space?

[TJ400]

Hopefully in the next year or so, my PA22 to Sportsman 2+2 conversion
will be ready for flight. Has anyone have plans or ideas for a simple
but dry and functional hangar space..

Really just want to keep it out of the weather with nothing fancy and
only enough room for the plane and room to do minor maint.

T hanger? Full hangar? Header construction/ideas?

Our flying club built a "pole barn" hangar, dirt floor, without a door
for 3 AMU's. I will email drawings if interested.

A pole barn is hard to beat for ecoomy and utility. You might
consider beefing up one or two roof trusses so that you can use
a block and tackle or chainfall for an engine hoist.

The rafter space in the joists is also great for storing _light_
stuff.

Maybe not for the Sportsman 2+2, but....

Agreed.

Naah. You never beef up the ones in the right place. <g>

Really, if you put a stiffback (a couple 2 x 8's and a 2 x 4, nailed
together to make a "U") across 3 or 4 of the trusses (to share the load) a
temporary hoist of even a considerable weight will not damage the trusses,
at all.

arg, every time I need to find the link for this, it takes me a good 20
minutes of googling to find it.

I believe you can go to this website and find free plans that can fit your
needs, or at least give you an idea to modify the plans that are there to
fit them

http://www.ag.ndsu.nodak.edu/abeng/plans/

hundreds of plans, all of them free. if you want them printed they cost, but
the pdfs that are available are worth looking at.

originally look at them for a homebuilding shop/hangar. eventually I am
deciding on just tossing money at it and letting some pole building people
do it instead. less time and effort on my part, and it shouldn't increase my
debt considerably

It depends where you live and the local building codes. Do you need to
take snow loads into consideration? A pole barn is just some poles
buried in the ground with a wood beam around the top to support the
roof trusses. nail 2x4s horizontaly between the poles to give support
for the steel siding. It doesn't cost much more to build a full hangar
instesd of a T and you will always be able to find stuff to fill the
corners.

One good thing about being in Canada is you don't need a building
permit to build a hangar at an airport cuz airports are federally
regulated. If your local building inspector tries to tell you
otherwise just sic COPA on him. You still have to build to accepted
standards though.
