The two top covers I purchased from Rossman warped. So I would like to make my own Reversible or flat cover out of 3/4 inch plywood. Can someone tell me the dimensions for the board and rails. If you can post a set of plans that would be great.

I am using 8 frame mediums

Thanks,
Brooklyn

Just measure the ones you already have! BTW, why don't you turn them over and see if they'll warp back the other way?

Some eight frame eqiupment is 13 3/4" wide. Some is 14" wide. Mine are 13 3/4". My lids are 13 3/4" by 19 7/8" As mentioned, when the warp you can flip them over. Or put more bricks in the right places to push them back down...

A couple of ratchet straps can also work well in taking the warp out. Wrap the hive with a couple of straps and pull them down until the top site flat.
