nails or staples?

Interesting that you mention that.... I had the same problem this past season. This year I've only been putting one staple on top and two under the end of the top bar. I'm thinking maybe I should just put one under the top bar.

Thanks, Dan. I'm glad someone else noticed this happening. Confirms what I thought.

I've used them all and the crown stapler is definitely the way to go. I bought the Hitachi 1 1/2" from lowes for $99 and it works great putting anything from hives to frames together.
