Let's Talk

Our Account Managers thoughtfully evaluate each project to meet and exceed your requirements. Before estimating a new hangar project, we discuss several hangar design considerations, including:

Brigham City Hangers
Five Identical Hangars 50' x 50' x 17.5'

Aircraft Details

Such as clearance height and width requirements. Most single-engine aircraft have a wingspan of 38′ or less. Schweiss, one of our hangar door affiliates, provides a useful reference list of model dimensions from major private aircraft manufacturers here.

Intended Function

The primary purpose of the hangar will be to house aircraft, but will the design include office space, maintenance, or storage areas? We evaluate mezzanine levels as an excellent resource for adding office space during the initial design consultation.

Project Location

We use local building codes and loads to determine the mandatory amount of steel for fabricating your structure, meeting and exceeding engineering requirements and reinforcing architectural elements.

Superior Value

We bought our metal building for our barndominium from Western Steel and they were so great to work with! Jayson was our project manager and he answered every question we had throughout the process. We had problems when the building was delivered with some pieces being missing, but we called and they had the rest of the pieces to us within a week. Definitely recommend working with Jayson and Western Steel.

I researched companies and options a lot before choosing Western Steel. They were referred to me by a contractor friend that has used them exclusively. Now I know why. They delivered at least six-weeks sooner than other companies were quoting, have a fantasic customer service mentality, and quickly resolved a design misunderstanding. I've since referred Western Steel to two others. Yes, I will use them again!

Sean did a great job providing information early and often; very proactive. Ultimately we went another direction but appreciate their Western's professionalism and assistance in scoping out planning factors.

I had heard about Western Steel though working in the construction industry around Utah. I was lucky enough to run into Kai at a jobsite here in Park City and we had a wonderful discussion about my future project in Montana. He even gave me a cool hat! I was sent a quote the very next day. I will continue to work with Western Steel on my project because of there professionalism, generosity and the fact they are local.

Western Steel has been great to work with. We have worked with them on several projects now and bid on several more together. We continue to use Western Steel and Mark Blume (Manager) on all our current and future metal building needs. I would strongly recommend them for your metal building needs. You will get a good manager that is experienced and most of all will give you a good price and quality service. I give them 5 stars and well earned. Thank you. - A5 Des+Con, Tucson, AZ

I am a commercial project manager that has now completed multiple projects with this company and Mark Blume is by far the most detailed and organized collaborator I have had the pleasure of working with. He gets the job done and doesn't quit till we are 100% satisfied, thank you again! We can't wait to do more projects with his team in the future!

My experience with Western Steel Buildings thus far has been nothing short of fantastic. I've had to send them multiple last minute changes which they have quickly and expediently handled. My sales rep, Mark Blume, has gone above and beyond normal expectations in delivering everything I have asked for. Western Steel Buildings really is the best.

Western Steel Buildings is a great company to work with. We worked personally with Kai Czajka and Ben. They were able to meet our time schedule and when we needed advice on the project they were quick to help us get a resolution. I would recommend Western Steel Buildings to any one who is looking at steel buildings as they were a pleasure to work with.

Marcus Hensel is someone that everyone should have on their team. He is super transparent and has great communication skills. From the first time we spoke to now we have grown a great relationship that I am the beneficiary of. He always answers his phone and always has the clients interest in mind. I am glad he’s my contact to the company!’

Aaron, Ben and the whole Western Steel family took extremely good care of us. From day 1 until now, they have provided excellent communication, service and quality materials. I wouldn't buy a building from any other company. They exceeded our expectations and I would highly recommend them to anyone I know. A+

Been working with Mark Blume on a number of buildings and he is top notch. What I like most is knowing I'm working with someone that is honest, straightforward, and truly wants to make sure I am getting the right building and value for my project.

Western Steel Buildings, and their team, especially Mark Blume and Wes Jones have time and again shown their industry knowledge though our interactions. As an Insulated Metal Panel (IMP) specialist installer, we have worked very closely with Mark and Wes on a number of projects which have always been handled professionally and thoughtfully as anyone might expect from a top tier company like Western.However, I’m writing this review today because of the above and beyond actions their team has shown our company and this industry. These folks are genuinely the most knowledgeable and passionate our company has contacted and worked with.Mark recently advised on some products that would aid in the install of a roof system we are currently preforming for the military which has saved us some time and money resulting in us landing the contract.I am not saying call these guys for free advice, I’m just saying their expertise is not found anywhere else in the industry! Thank you to Mark, Wes, and the rest of the team over at Western for all the help and professionalism over these years!—Patrick GrugelBuffalo Craftsmen LLC

Western Steel Buildings is very good to work with. I'm very happy with the building. I did some parts of the construction myself and subcontracted some parts. They were helpful in that process. Everything was there in the first shipment, which turns out to be important when your subcontractor is on site with a crew and ready to go.

The Salt Lake Astronomical Society purchased a steel building from Western Steel Buildings. It is 45'X25'X10'high sitting on top of 8-foot high concrete walls. The building houses the largest amateur telescope in the world and the choice of building was perfect for our needs.Western Steel Buildings was very good to work with and the building was very cost effective. I am very pleased with the quality of the building, its looks and how easy they made the purchase and construction phase. They lined up the contractor to erect the building and that company did an excellent job.I won't hesitate to once again purchase from Western Steel Building when we have additional needs
