With This Steel Building, Nothing Is Left Up in the Air

This write up speaks aloud about the hangar built by Steel Buildings. Beau Andrepont wanted to build a hangar for his aircraft. Steel Buildings, Pre-engineered buildings have a wide range of designs to build hangars.

It was 2007, and Beau Andrepont wanted to spread his wings and fly.

He didn’t want to necessarily leave his home roost of 25 acres in Arnaudville, LA for good, but instead wanted to traverse the airspace above it in his Quicksilver Ultralight experimental aircraft, which he had built himself.

When he decided it was time to build a hangar to house the aircraft, he looked to the local want ads to find what he needed. He found it when he spotted a listing for a SteelMaster building, which was bought but never built.

“I bought the building and constructed it with two helpers and a tractor with a front end loader,” says Andrepont. “I originally just poured concrete footings and then later added concrete in the middle. I only had half of the arches up when Hurricane Gustav hit us.”

After the powerful storm blew through Arnaudville and the surrounding area, Andrepont was left with downed power lines and trees and an airplane that had completely flipped over inside the SteelMaster building. “The building came out with minimal damage and that was only due to the fact that the end angles were not attached to one side so the edge of the last arch was free to flap in the wind,” says Andrepont. “This caused a small hole in that arch, but that is it. Now that the building is complete and end walls are up I believe it is the strongest building on the property.” The end walls were built by Andrepont after he decided to sell his ultralight aircraft and seal off the building to use as storage for his tractor and implements that he uses to take care of his land.

“This is a good example of just how functional and dynamic SteelMaster buildings are—they can be used for a broad range of applications thanks to their clear-span design,” says Michelle Wickum, the director of marketing for SteelMaster Buildings,

which is located in Virginia Beach, VA. “The fact that the building was so resilient to Hurricane Gustav when it was only half built is testament to the quality and strength of our buildings as well.”

SteelMaster steel buildings are engineered to meet the wind loads of their destination whether that’s in the middle of the country or on the coast of Florida where hurricanes are common. As opposed to wooden structures, some steel buildings, like the ones sold by SteelMaster Buildings remain maintenance free for a lifetime thanks to the company’s use of Galvalume Plus Coating which offers strength, superior corrosion resistance, and an attractive bright appearance that provides excellent heat reflectivity. Each SteelMaster building also comes with a 30-year mill-backed warranty by ArcelorMittal (NYSE MT).

“We look forward to keeping in touch with Mr. Andrepont to see what he decides to use his SteelMaster building for next. Just like with his ultralight aircraft, the sky is the limit for the possibilities.”

With thousands satisfied customers, including buildings located in every state in the United States, on six continents, and in more than 40 overseas countries, SteelMaster takes pride in knowing its steel buildings have earned the favor of people like Andrepont.

SteelMaster’s steel and metal pre-engineered buildings are designed for a broad range of residential and commercial applications including Garages, Workshops, Carports, Quonsets, Airplane Hangars, RV Storage, Military Buildings, Commercial Warehousing, and Industrial Storage as well as a wide variety of Custom Building applications including Athletic Facilities, Retail Stores, Churches, Bus Stops, Smoke Shacks, Doggie Dorms, and Correctional Facilities.
