Preparing to build my first hive (National) and would similar some advice on nail types.
Thorne provide Sheradised Panel Pins 1" and 1.5".
Maisemore provide 1" and 1.v" lost caput nails. 1.v" and 2" headed nails.
National Bee Supplies provide Sheradised Console Pins one.5".
Are there pro's - con'south or just personal preference. Do i demand various types for the hive woodwork, not including frames?
I know galvanised nails appear to exist used on the metallic roof-panel for Nationals.

I utilize the ones from T*orne. The nails are the lost head type and I failed to find any others at a reasonable price.
The auction is too on now and if yous spend over £100 you get free stamp, if y'all buy a second quality hive you lot volition as well get the nails for free.

Never built any beehives but if I did I would utilize stainless steel nails or screws.
The reason being the nails are near the terminate grain on the joints and when steel rusts
Information technology expands and will open the grain and allow water into the timber.
It may accept some time for this to happen, I would also seal the end grain exposed to the weather (not the entire hive)

I think waterproof gum is the first thing to use
Then stainless, either screws or nails.
After 2 years out in the open my big T hive nails (the thicker ones) have all started to rust.

Can't recommend these enough - you lot can screw them in very close to the edge of a board and they rarely if ever dissever the timber. Pilot holes are not needed.

Not been around for a while, been busy on the beer hobby, getting stock up before summer.
I apply lost head galvanised, or air nails, with polyurethane glue. Gorilla mucilage is good, but y'all pay for the name in my opinion
For expert prices.
Have a look here
