Compare the cost of building versus the advantages of the sHeli-Port before choosing a helicopter storage solution
If you’re thinking that building a permanent structure to store your helicopter is your best option, please take a few moments to read this before breaking ground.
Earlier this year, at the Heli-Expo in Dallas, TX, I spoke to several helicopter owners who had recently constructed a shed to store their craft. Each of them, after learning about the sHeli-Port, lamented that they wished they had known about it before they built. So, if you want to improve your helicopter storage situation and haven’t yet broken ground on a storage shed, here are some points to consider:
Sheds and Hangars | sHeli-Port |
Require expensive ground handling equipment to park the helicopter…land, maneuver tug, hook up, pull and close | Self-contained storage; no hassle with or paying for ground handling equipment…land and close |
Permanently located | Move to another location when desired |
Unflattering or obstructive to surrounding environment | Colored to camouflage or even wrapped to match the surrounding landscape |
Multi-purpose. Lawn mowers, ladders, motorcycles boats, kid’s bikes and other hangar rash infections come in contact with or damage the helicopter. | Exclusively for your helicopter – it’s like a violin case for your ship |
For the accountants, 40 years to depreciate the investment | Qualifies as a section 179 expense, allowing full cost expensing in the first year of service |
The sHeli-Port provides significant advantages over building a storage shed — why not Google “hangar construction costs” before you decide? If you’ve already built a storage shed, all is not lost. Use the shed for your less breakable “treasures,” sell the ground handling stuff, and keep your helicopter safe and secure in a sHeli-Port. Visit www.sHeli-Port.com for additional information.
