Default Community Hanger Shared Space and Advantages/Disadvantages

I was in a 60x60 with a 50 foot door for a couple of years. The owner
only rented out three spots. With a 50 foot door two planes could sit
in front and manuver with a little care and get out without moving the
other. Didn't matter if they were high or low wing. A 60 foot door
makes it real easy. You can probably get 6-7 planes into a 60x80 but
the problem is every surface of every plane is an inch away from
something else. Four planes would be good.

Does anyone have an opinion to how many single engine low wing, high
wing, or twins or any combination would comfortably fit in a 60x80
hangar. The door is 60 feet wide.

At my local airport there is a 60x80 for rent and obviously it would
cost way to much for me to rent by myself. I am looking to share it
with possibly 3 other pilots for a total of 4 planes. I have a Mooney
M20E.

Smaller hangars are not available for years and years.

If anyone has a community hangar and would like to share there opinion
and any advantages and disadvantages please reply.

Thank you.
