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.


Yes snow load is a concern... I live in Manitoba Canada..

thanks

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.
