[Haddon]

I need building plans for 8 frame hives.

Simply reduce the width by 2-3/4" which is the amount of two frames.

try bushfarms.com/bees michael probably has a plan, if not the visit will be well worth your time.

I have many different plans, available, here.

More than one plan is for various 8-frame components.

Simply reduce the width by 2-3/4" which is the amount of two frames.

So it would be 13 1/2 by 19 7/8 for a 8 frame box is this correct?

[Barry]

You got it! Lid and bottom board reduce width by 2-3/4" as well.

I don't have plans for eight frame boxes but I have instructions on how to cut down 10 frame to 8 frame:

Which will give you the roughly the same advice as Barry gave. The typical eight frame box is either 13 3/4" outside or 14" depending on who you buy them from. At 13 3/4" you need to reduce the measurements of all widths by 2 1/2".
