Thanks - That all makes sense. Is there any need for a corner brace?

Option 1 it is...although if I do, the hives will face SWW, although I could turn the entrances towards the hedge will will point directly south, its just that I will be looking at the back of the hives all the time! Also, as you can see the foliage is quite dense and high during the summer...

:cheers2: Thats an interesting site....its also blown my plans completely out the water..:banghead:

Thanks chaps - Option 1 it is then, Option 2 as fall back! Just need to work on some plans for the stand now....I feel a new thread coming on, unless I can find the info in a search. Regards

That was one of my concerns but the water only just encroaches on the said spot during very high springs but I intend to raise on block plinths so well clear of water level. Wind is not really an issue as Im fairly sheltered, far less than an exposed field site. Option 1 is my preference, it...

I'll be looking for 1, posssibly 2. Maybe if you had a couple of different people interested who could split between them?

Thanks chaps - I was only looking at the WBC's from an aethetic point of view as if I position them where Im thinking at the moment, they will be visible from the house. However if I decide to locate to another spot, I may consider the polys but need to do a bit of research on the general views...
