Folding hangar door JT Strange

automatic

When JT Strange of Goshen, Ohio built his new airpark hangar he called on Schweiss Doors for a bifold liftstrap door. The hangar has a big 45 ft. x 15 ft. 11" door for his Cessna 182T. Four liftstraps easily lift the bifold door. Interior sheeting gives the door a nice clean look. The cladding on the door is unique in that he wanted it to have a completely different look beyond the typical look of an airport hangar door.By mounting the sheeting horizontally he was able to have the top corrugated panel of the bifold door overlap the lower panel. When you look closely at it, the two-inch pattern appears to be seamless with no joint in the middle and looks more like a single panel hydraulic door.Another feature that sets it off from other bifold doors is the door is inset about two feet instead of installed on the face of the building. Using the specifications from Schweiss he was able to get wedge height and other information to obtain the highest clearance possible.
