Re: Source for hangar plans?
As a former Army Engineer, biggest problem is keeping the parts from breaking during disassemblyand or movement. It is almost impossible to move a pole structure intact. Mainly because the poles are usually very deep in the ground and hard to get out. That means removing the covering structure or cutting the poles at the ground. If you cut the poles at the ground and brace inside, depending on the size of the structure, this could be very difficult if not costly. After it is moved, you have to have some way to support/anchor the structure once it is in place. Again, difficult to maintain structural integrity once the internal bracing is removed. If you disassemble and reassemble, much work and may have much material to replace depending on how long the structure has been standing and what was used to build, coated nails, screws, etc.. I once rebuilt a garage by building a new frame and moving the roof and trusses as one unit. Sat them on the new frame and secured. The one time I tried to move a barn, it collapsed while on the trailer.
