I'm trying to get my head straight on frames so I may put in an order next week.
I have now worked out that the frames I want for a national brood box are DN5s, which are self spacing.
I have since discovered a load of super frames I have are not Manleys but SN1s. I believe these are NOT self-spacing, hence their use with castellations.
Now, I have read much about the superiority of Manleys in national supers and I am sure people will have their opinions, but I'm not interested in that.
My question is, are Manleys and SN1 frames interchangable? They seem to be very similar, but want to be sure and all these dimensions are now swimming before my eyes.
Many thanks.
