Opinions, anyone?

I detest the inner covers and don't like the bottom boards. I can tolerate the tops quite well but think they are a little heavy.

Opinions?

I can make inner covers cheaply and quickly from plywood and scrap 2 x materiel. Slatted racks are easy, but I find bottom boards from 2 x scrap challenging as I cannot resaw the materiel.

Bullseye:

The fibreglass pieces I have are all from Kelley. Bought several years ago just to try. They apparently will last forever, but I just don't like the bottom boards and inner covers. The telescoping tops are fine.

The inner covers sag. They went to the dump. The bottom boards warped when they didn't have a hive on them. They went to the dump.

The interior size of the outer covers seem to be a little under spec. I have a couple of used deeps a little out of square that the outer covers won't fit over. They will go to the dump, too, as soon as I make some new vented outer covers.
