OK, so I'm dreaming of the hangar I'll someday build in the NC/SC area for my RV.
Probably a 40x50, so I can fit a guest airplane in and have an enclosed/environmentally controlled workshop for building RC airplanes, etc. Toolbox, welder, shear, bandsaws, drill presses will be outside of the workshop in the hangar.
Being from SoCal (and wanting to get out asap) I'm not familiar with yearly SE weather patterns. I have an idea, but would like insight from locals about what is done in regards to heating or cooling/dehumidifying a hangar that is is used pretty much daily.
Do tools sitting outside in the open hangar area get a thin coating of rust after a while? Is some kind of heating required? A porta-cool necessary for summer?
Or is an un-conditioned hangar perfectly acceptable for 95% of the year?
Just asking stupid questions while dreaming of a new hangar for the (hopefully) soon retirement.
Any comments appreciated.
Thanks,
Laird
