Keeping your airplane in a hangar doesn't cost - it pays!
Reasons why:
Wind and hail storms are really bad for airframes.
The sun eats up paint and Plexiglas and decays interiors, while also heating up your avionics.
Winter weather operations are really tough if you need a snow shovel to get your plane away from its tie down. There's frost on the wings and you end up with frozen fingers.
Maintenance is a lot easier in a hangar, especially in your own hangar with your own A&P.
Annuals inspections are easier.
It's hard to steal parts and radios (not to mention the entire plane) if you can't get to it and it's out of sight.
Storage of parts and accessories.
Many insurance companies allow discounts for aircraft that is stored in a hangar.
Everyone would prefer to buy a plane that has been stored in a hangar.
