Commercial Airplane Hangar Building in Kindred, North Dakota

Now an airplane hangar for Odegaard Wings Inc., a restorer and rebuilder of World War II aircraft, the hangar features top-of-the-line steel construction and a finished size of 72’x60’x18’.

Erected at Kindred’s Robert Odegaard Field, which is home to 12 hangars in total and offers 24-hour self-service aviation fueling, tie-down parking and a 3,300-foot concrete runway, among other draws, the hangar provides sturdy, secure storage for aircraft and a functional, efficient workspace ideal for aviation repair and restoration projects.

A rugged, built-to-last Galvalume metal roof with a 1:12 pitch sits above the steel hangar, helping prevent corrosion while protecting stored aircraft, and it also features (7) framed openings that vary in size and purpose. Included are (2) 3070 openings enclosing (2) 3070 walk doors, (4) 3’5”x2’ field windows that let natural sunlight inside, and (1) 45’x50’ bi-fold hangar door for moving aircraft in and out.

Additional hangar attributes include a six-inch snow gutter, which helps prevent snow and ice from weighing down the building’s roof, and several accommodations made with regard to North Dakota’s variable climate patterns and sometimes ample seasonal snowfall. These include a wind speed rating of 115 mph and a snow load of 35 psf.
