Making The Hive Stand A Bit Better

[@rickwarner516]

Super nice and quick,long lasting and easy to put together. Now just need to find a source for providing these in the USA. Thanks Lawrence and Merry Christmas to you and your family ❤️❤️❤️❤️🎄🎄🎄🐝🐝🐝🐝

For Nucs, I use some 2x2 bracing that allows me to strap them to the stand too.

I make same stand, but they are made for 2”x4” wood in varm galvanized steel. 😊

You need to brace the free ends together. This will provide greater stability to the cantilever portion of the timber and allow a greater load capacity. Are you using treated timber? I would be concerned about long term deformation as well with the long cantilever.

Great hack to get the best value out of your kit

Hi Laurence. Is the gap in the middle of these stands the right size to hold frames during inspections? Thanks

GReat tips, I think i will add these hive stand to my winter Sale list (that's if these make it into the Abelo sale....?)

[@BlackMountainHoney]

I reckon they will make the sale

Where the middle pieces butt upto each other, could you leave a gap for a third leg unit? Would cost a bjt more, but would be bombproof then?

That's a great idea. And don't forget that the weight on the outside will oppose the weight in the middle similar to an elevator (I believe you guys call them lifts?)
