I’m slowly working on insulation and closing in my new to me hangar. It’s a 20 year old stick built 50x60 that came with the house. It had zero insulation in it when we bought the place. No ceiling with the top of the pitch probably 25 feet up. The hangar door faces west and gets a lot of afternoon sun. Soffit vents and a roof cap. I’ve insulated about 90% of the walls and know a ceiling will be a big help and am slowly working there as funds allow. I have a low end weather station that has the base station located close the center of the building with a remote sensor on the west wall. Wind station is obviously outside. When I’m home the garage door is at least partially open almost every day which helps. When I’m out of town though its always closed up. I’m in NC and we have pretty warm humid temperatures in the summer months. Last year the warmest temperature I recall seeing inside was 107 at the base and a wall temp of 115. Heat index was over 135.

So my main question is…. Lol. How hot is too hot when it comes to storing fabric covered airplanes?
