Common use of Nailing Clause in Contracts

Nailing. Use only specified frame nails (30 mm) to ensure that the frames remain square and hang properly in the super with the correct bee space all round. To increase durability and overall strength of frames, wood glue shall be used prior to nailing. Then assemble the frame, and drive 2 cigar box nails (16 mm) into the end bar at two corners of a side bar. In building a deeper frame, the builder shall use a square (or a frame jig). It’s certainly important to use a ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇’▇ square to check that the frame is perfect and true, than just eyeball it. Assembling starts out by applying a dab of glue to each end of the top and bottom bars (Figure 7). After complete nailing and checking the frame, it becomes important to cross nail the side bars and top bar for durability. It is not a must but through time in the process of using, the top bar pulls off the frame as we are trying to pry it up from the hive. So it is advisable to cross nail, just by driving a nail through the side (end) bar into the top bar, one on each end. It needs to get the angle right. If the angle is too slight, the nail will end up in the foundation groove and if too big, the nail will protrude from the top bar. So it is a bit tricky and worth extra time and effort to get the angle.
