Hangars in use
Explore cover materials for fabric hangars, including aircraft shelters and container-mounted roofs. Compare panel layouts, seams and frame connections.
Fabric aircraft hangars
Fabric hangars use a framed structure with a flexible cover for aircraft storage or sheltered working space. The roof, sidewalls, end panels and access doors may need different fabric constructions. Start with the approved building drawings, aircraft clearance and door arrangement before choosing the cover material. DuraTarps supplies roll materials for fabricators to assess against that design.
Container-mounted hangars and shelters
A container hangar can use a fabric-covered roof frame supported by shipping containers. These structures are also described as container-mounted shelters or container canopies. The containers, roof frame, end walls and attachment system form one project; the membrane is one component. Confirm whether the enquiry concerns an open-sided roof, an enclosed shelter or an aircraft hangar with a large entrance.
Material references for the cover
DLT-5210 is listed at 750 gsm and 5.0 m width, while DLT-5211 is listed at 850 gsm and 5.0 m width. Both are ultra-wide tent fabric references. Compare their roll widths with the proposed panel layout and welding plan; weight alone does not establish suitability. Discuss daylight transmission or blackout requirements, colour, surface finish and any specified coating. Confirm the selected construction and test documentation before ordering.
Send a fabrication brief
For a useful material enquiry, include the roof and wall drawings, panel sizes, required roll width, seam method, edge reinforcement and frame connection details. Add the installation location, intended service period, cleaning conditions and any specified tensile, tear, seam or fire-test requirements. For replacement covers, provide the original fabric specification and clear photographs of seams and fixing points. Structural loads, anchoring and local approvals remain part of the building design and cannot be established from a fabric weight.
Browse the wider Tents & Temporary Structures range or compare requirements for temporary shelters.
Frequently asked questions
Is every aircraft hangar made from PVC fabric?
No. Hangars use different building systems and cover materials. This page concerns flexible fabric covers; identify the actual construction before specifying a replacement or new panel.
Is a container canopy the same as an aircraft hangar?
Not necessarily. A canopy may be an open storage roof. Aircraft use also requires the right clearances, access arrangement and project-specific building design. State the intended use in the enquiry.
Does DuraTarps supply the complete hangar?
This enquiry is for roll material used to fabricate covers. Frames, containers, doors, installation and structural engineering must be specified separately with the relevant project suppliers.
Specify the hangar cover as part of the building design
Separate aircraft hangar requirements from a general container canopy: identify roof, wall and entrance panels, clearances and the intended site use.
Use the material references to begin a sample and specification discussion. Confirm the fabric, fabricated seams and connection details against the project requirements.
Provide the frame layout, entrance details and perimeter tensioning arrangement. Identify roof, wall and door components separately. Review the listed samples with your fabricator's joining method and the project test schedule before selecting the envelope material.
Send the construction, width, colour, quantity and destination for a quotation. Request samples for finish review and seam trials, stating the size and tests needed. Sample arrangements will be confirmed separately; structural design and building approval remain part of the hangar project.
