Aluminium hangar tents, also called aluminium frame tents, clear-span tents or fabric hangar structures, are large relocatable buildings made of an aluminium frame clad in PVC fabric. The frame crosses the full width with no columns inside, leaving the floor free for aircraft, warehouse racks, exhibitions or sports courts. They are bolted together on site, can be lengthened bay by bay, and can be dismantled and shifted to a new location when needed.
ShadeCo India Private Limited is an aluminium hangar tents manufacturer and supplier in India. We design, fabricate, supply and install aircraft hangar tents, MRO and maintenance hangars, industrial warehouse hangar tents, exhibition and trade show halls, large event and sports hall tents, and relocatable or custom-built units, taking each project from the first site check to a finished, working building.
Hangar tents are used in very different ways, from a few weeks at an exhibition ground to several years as a warehouse or aircraft shelter. Each option below is planned around the span, height and doors that the job needs. Select a hangar tent to enquire about your project.
A clear-span hall for exhibitions, trade shows and conferences, with room for rows of stands, wide aisles and a stage. A glazed front and entrance canopy give it a finished look, and the length can be set to match the number of exhibitors.
A hangar tent used as a warehouse, with clear height for pallet racking, forklift aisles and roller shutter doors for loading. It suits overflow storage, seasonal stock and new facilities that need space before a permanent building is ready.
A wide, column-free hall for weddings, concerts, launches and corporate events, where every seat has a clear view of the stage. Lighting, flooring and air handling can be added, and the tent can move from one venue to the next.
A covered hall for badminton, basketball, volleyball and multi-sport courts at schools, clubs and campuses. The side height is set for the game being played, and open or closed sides control airflow and light.
An aircraft shelter with a clear width and door height planned around the wingspan and tail height of the aircraft. It protects light aircraft, helicopters and business jets from sun, rain and dust at airports and airstrips without a permanent hangar.
A covered bay for aircraft or heavy equipment maintenance, with space for work platforms, tools and container workshops along the sides. Lighting and ventilation are planned for long working shifts.
A hangar tent planned for a fixed period at one site, such as a construction project, seasonal storage or a temporary production area. It can be dismantled and set up again elsewhere when the job moves.
A hangar tent built to a non-standard width, height or layout, with features such as a glazed facade, mezzanine offices, insulated walls or special doors. Each design starts from the site plan and how the space will be used.
When ShadeCo India plans a hangar tent, three numbers come first: the clear width, the side height and the length. The width is set by what has to fit inside without columns, such as an aircraft's wingspan, a row of racks with forklift aisles, or a set of courts. Side height decides how high doors and stacked goods can go, and the length is built up in bays, so the tent can be made longer later by adding more frames.
After that, the tent is configured for its use. Warehouses usually get roller shutter or sliding doors and solid side panels, aircraft hangars need a wide opening at one end, and exhibition halls often have a glazed front with an entrance canopy. Roof and walls can be single-layer PVC or insulated, and lighting, ventilation, flooring and gutters can be added as needed.
The table below lists the main parts of a ShadeCo India hangar tent and the options available for each. The exact specification is confirmed for every project.
| Component | Specification and Options |
|---|---|
| Frame | Extruded aluminium portal frames with bolted connections |
| Roof Shape | Pitched (A-frame) or curved roof |
| Roof & Wall Cover | PVC-coated polyester fabric, single layer or insulated |
| Side Walls | PVC fabric, hard panels or glazed sections |
| Doors | Roller shutter, sliding, fabric or glass doors; wide end openings for aircraft |
| Length | Built in bays and extendable by adding frames |
| Anchoring | Anchor bolts on concrete, ground anchors on soil, or ballast weights |
| Add-Ons | Gutters, lighting, ventilation, flooring and entrance canopies |
| Wind Load Design | Frame and anchoring designed for the site wind speed as per IS 875 (Part 3) |
Companies choose hangar tents when they need a large covered space quickly and do not want to commit to a permanent building.
In aviation, hangar tents shelter light aircraft, helicopters and business jets, and give MRO teams a covered bay for inspections and repairs at airports and airstrips that lack a permanent hangar. Defence units and disaster response agencies use them in the same way for equipment and temporary bases.
Industry uses them as warehouses, overflow storage during peak seasons, and temporary production or assembly areas while a factory is being expanded. Exhibition organisers and event companies put them up as exhibition halls, conference venues and large event spaces, and schools and sports clubs use them to cover badminton, basketball and multi-sport courts.
Both give a large column-free space. The difference is mainly in how long you need the building and whether it may have to move.
| Feature | Aluminium Hangar Tent | Prefabricated Steel Building |
|---|---|---|
| Build Time | Shorter | Longer |
| Foundations | Light; can sit on existing concrete | Full RCC foundations |
| Relocation | Designed to be moved | Not practical |
| Cladding | PVC fabric, optional hard panels | Metal sheets |
| Best Suited For | Temporary to medium-term use, events, project sites | Long-term factories, warehouses and permanent hangars |

Hangar tents are usually priced on the covered area, but the clear width has the biggest effect on the frame, since wider spans need deeper aluminium sections. Side height adds to the cost in the same way, and a longer tent simply adds more bays.
Insulated roofs and walls, hard side panels, glazed fronts, roller shutters and large aircraft doors all add to the base price, as do lighting, ventilation and flooring. The site matters too: anchoring on existing concrete costs less than preparing new ground, and transport and installation depend on the location.
For a quote, send the width, length and height you need, how the space will be used, the type of doors, the site location, and whether the tent is for short-term or long-term use.
Most hangar tent projects have a deadline, whether it is an exhibition date, an aircraft delivery or a stock arrival, so the work is planned backwards from when the space must be ready.
ShadeCo India designs, supplies and installs aluminium hangar tents for aviation companies, industrial facilities, logistics operators, defence projects, exhibition organisers and sports facilities. A single project can be one aircraft shelter at an airstrip or a large warehouse tent with loading doors on both sides.
We are an ISO 9001:2015 certified company and have been building fabric structures in India since 2010. Design, site work and installation are handled by our own engineers and installers, so the drawings you approve are the ones built on site.
Because we also make prefabricated steel buildings and tensile structures, we can advise whether a hangar tent or a permanent building is the better fit for your timeline and budget.
For related large-space and outdoor structure options, you can also explore our pagoda tents, prefabricated steel buildings, tensile structures, and luxury glamping tents.
A hangar tent brief should define the usable floor area, door openings and the movement of vehicles, equipment or stored goods. Site access and the intended period of use help establish the installation sequence and whether future extension or relocation needs to be considered.
Our wider roofing work includes the large-span tensile assembly roof at Arwachin Senior Secondary School in Delhi, listed on the projects page. For an aluminium hangar tent, the frame system, enclosure and anchoring are developed specifically for the proposed operation and site.
Hangar tents are supplied and installed anywhere in India, from airports and airstrips to industrial estates, logistics parks, exhibition grounds and project sites. Our base is in Delhi NCR, and projects are taken up across North India in Delhi, Haryana, Punjab, Uttar Pradesh, Uttarakhand and Himachal Pradesh, in Rajasthan, Gujarat, Maharashtra and Madhya Pradesh, in the southern states of Karnataka, Tamil Nadu, Telangana, Andhra Pradesh and Kerala, and in the east, including Bihar, Jharkhand, West Bengal, Odisha and Assam.
Many hangar tents are used as warehouses and factory sheds, so they are often installed in industrial areas and warehouse clusters, such as those around Gurugram, Manesar, Noida, Faridabad and Sonipat in the NCR, Bhiwandi and Pune in Maharashtra, Ahmedabad, Vadodara and Surat in Gujarat, and Hosur, Bengaluru, Chennai and Hyderabad in the south. Aircraft and MRO hangar tents are installed at airports, flying schools and private airstrips, while exhibition and event hangars go up on exhibition grounds and open venues in cities of every size.
These places are examples, not a limit. A hangar tent travels as frames and fabric panels on trucks, so it can be installed at any site in India that a truck can reach, from a plant expansion in a small town to a remote construction camp or a temporary relief base.
Tell us what the tent needs to hold, the clear width and height you think you need, the site location and when the space must be ready. Mention whether it is for a few months or several years, and the kind of doors you need. We will suggest a size and configuration and prepare an estimate.

FAQ
Aluminium hangar tents are large clear-span buildings made from an aluminium frame covered with PVC fabric. They have no columns inside, are bolted together on site, and can be extended or relocated. They are used for aircraft shelters, warehouses, exhibitions, sports halls and temporary industrial space.
The cost depends mainly on the clear width, side height and length, the roof and wall type (single-layer or insulated), doors and glazing, add-ons such as lighting and flooring, the anchoring method and the site location. Share your size and use with ShadeCo India to receive an accurate quotation.
Aluminium hangar tents are used for aircraft storage and MRO, warehouses and logistics, temporary production areas, defence and disaster response, exhibitions and conferences, large events, and indoor sports courts.
Hangar tents are made in a range of clear widths and side heights to suit what has to fit inside, from a single helicopter to warehouse racking or several sports courts. The length is built in bays, so it can be as long as the site allows and extended later by adding frames.
Yes. Aluminium hangar tents can be built with a clear width and height to suit the aircraft, and a wide door at one end for access. They are used for light aircraft, helicopters and business jets, and as covered MRO bays at airports and airstrips.
A hangar tent uses an aluminium frame and PVC fabric, needs lighter foundations, goes up faster and can be relocated. A prefabricated steel building uses a steel frame and metal sheets on full foundations and is meant to stay in one place for the long term.
Yes. The frame and anchoring are designed for the site wind speed as per IS 875 (Part 3), and the PVC roof and walls are waterproof. Gutters can be added to carry rainwater away from doors and walkways.
Yes. The frame and fabric panels are bolted and slotted together, so the tent can be dismantled, transported and put up again at another site. This makes it useful for project sites, seasonal storage and operations that may move.
