Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What material are the stands made from?
A: 1¼ 16-gauge American manufactured high-quality steel
Q: How high will my stand sit off the ground?
A: Your hive bottom board will be about 15 inches off the ground -a comfortable height when bending over to work the hives!
Q: How much weight can they hold?
A: Although we haven’t tested them to failure (yet!) We know they will hold 350 lbs without issue.
Q: What type of paint is used?
A: It’s actually not a paint! It’s a heat-finished powder coat for years of outdoor durability.
Q: What colors are available
A: At this time we only offer brown and black stands.
Q: Can I put these directly on the ground?
A: You could - but we recommend placing them on patio stones or a concrete slab for best results.
Q: Where do you ship to?
A: We currently offer (FREE!) shipping to the lower 48 states. We do not ship outside of the U.S. at this time due to shipping costs.

A: Both! You’ll have a little more space on the sides of your 8 frame hives.
