Abelo rebate?

[Poly Hive]

I am to make some parts for one of these hives but have never actually seen one. What are the dimensions of the rebate if anyone has one to measure?

If no one replies by the time I get home from work tomorrow I’ll measure the 12 frame hive for you.

Out of curiosity, what parts are you making? I was debating making an underfloor entrance with a rebate to fit my 12 frame hives.

Many thanks. Crown boards and clearer boards for a beginner.

I’ll be home in an hour and will do the measurements then.

So for the 12 frame ABELO poly hive the rebate measures 46cm x 46cm.

The boxes themselves are 48.5cm x 48.5cm

The clearer boards that I made last year are as below and sat on top of the rebate, with the boxes above locking in. They worked very well.

Is that sufficient or do you want other measurements? This is for the 12 frame hive. I’ve no idea if their other hives differ in dimensions

I think PH is possibly after the depth of the rebate.

I am yes as Abelo gave me the ID and OD dimensions but not the damn rebate, the critical element.

It’s 13mm wide and 10mm tall/deep.

I took some measurements few months ago and this is what I recorded.
*No to scale

Mine is definitely 13mm across the top. Not 10mm as your image indicates. It looks like 12mm but there is slight curvage. Hard to get an accurate pic.

Many thanks that's a great help.
