5-Frame Cypress Medium 6 5/8-inch Super Box

Great product

Well cut and assembly was easy.

5 frame Medium Super

This box was well manufactured and went together easily. It is clean, thick wood that is unfinished (I like natural) but we'll sanded and ready to paint out of the box. Assembly nails provided. Great product!

6 5/8 Cypress Box & Frames

First time buyer from these guys. I chose this vendor because of the cypress wood and the dovetail construction, which I think is superior, along with reasonable pricing. Received my order with good communication, packaged well, and in good condition. I assembled the frames and they fit together well without any problems. The boxes did not come with any nails, which was probably explained but, just the same I needed to go purchase 2 kinds of nails. I chose 2” galvanized outdoor nails and a 1” smaller non-galvanized nail for the 4 places to nail where the wood is thin. I pre-drilled the holes for the nails to prevent cracking. In the old days they used to pre-drill the holes for you but, I would rather drill my own holes than pay more. I painted a primer coat and a second coat with high quality latex paint. Good high quality paint will last a long time these days. I used Sherwin Williams paint I already had. I expect these boxes to last a long time. All in all, I am very pleased with my purchase! I am an old beekeeper who cannot lift full size hive boxes anymore. I am experimenting with managing year around hives in 5 frame boxes. Waiting till spring to see how they over wintered the first year?
