A Tee hangar is a type of enclosed structure designed to hold aircraft

''Nested Tee hangars'' require less building material than standard and are wider, but shorter, thereby reducing the length of taxiway required to abut the building. The disadvantage is that rolling doors cannot be used, as the rolling door would cover the neighboring hangar doors when opened.
