Metal hive stands

[Black Comb]

Just one more, 2nd did not come out.
It needs a long screw where the longitudinal top bars sit on top of the top side cross bars, otherwise it rocks. I use 110 x 5mm Reiser for this.

Top bars are 52" long and depth is 17" so it takes nationals and langs.
Legs are 20", a height that suits me but you can make them any height you like.

Made 8 of these now and work fine.

these are great looking stands, but to big and bulky for what i need, with over four hundred hives i need someing light weight and no maintanance need to find someone who will sulpy me with metal stands

 

[countryman]

Post #12 reveals all.

 

[countryman]

it was a general question as to height single double etc so i could work out a price for ian as i do welding/fabricating (my trade of 25 years) as well as everything else so i could help him out with cheap stands

Hi countryman
Thanks for your offer. My stands are 10" high and are singles. If you want to give me a price that would be grand. Thank you.

My stands are made from angle iron with two round rods half way down the legs in a x
I lost contact with the guy who made my last lot.
Please PM me if you wish and I'll give you my number/email address

Sounds like your metal stands look something like this then?

Mine have angle iron for the legs and the stand is 10" in height

These are simple and v strong, easily movable ..

These are simple and v strong, easily movable ..

Simple - OK, go with that.

V strong - err, concur there, too. Probably even stronger than the blocks they stand on!

Easily movable - WOT!! Won't even fit in a Smart without a huge overhang!

Are they easily dismantled? OK if you have an Ifor or similar, but I would def say not easily moved for most, unless in the same apiary.

Just had this made by the step son - sprayed it with galvanised paint and the jobs a good one.
