Bifold Door Offers Big Upgrade for Quonset Hangar

Gil Gauthier, a Manitoban pilot, had a lifelong dream come true when he purchased his very own airplane. But, as any pilot knows, having a dry, secure place to store your aircraft is important. After several years of renting a hangar, a quonset style hangar with sliding doors went up for sale.

“It wasn’t insulated, and it had very poor electrical,” says Gauthier. “But you know what? I checked and the plane fit… just barely.”

While Gauthier was excited to have his own hangar space, he knew that it needed a few upgrades to really maximize its potential.

Still, the doors worked… until winter came around.

After that first winter, Gauthier said, “I’m calling Diamond Doors and I’m getting a quote to get a new motorized bifold door.”

He adds that, “It was the best investment [he] could have ever made.”
