People make their lids differently according to their needs. I make mine to overhang the sides. Some like a migratory lid, that is flush with the sides. I believe I mentioned that in the video. So you can make up your mind as to how you want ti make them. There is enough material for either lid design.
Craig, the shot of your measurements says Top is 11 x 22 5/8 and Bottom is 9 x 20 5/8. But then your shot of the plywood the bottoms look longer than the tops as you have them labeled. Can you clear up the dimensions on those two cuts? Thanks!
You can use the same dimensions as for the nuc box to make supers. But, you have to add a cleat at the bottom as well to cover the frame rest on the nuc box.
Great common sense advice for the budget beekeeper. Thanks for the content.
Happy to help.
I love building hives, even if I don't need them lol.
Loved it gave all the measurements except the tops

Nice!
I like this design dude! Measurements for the lid and inner cover?
Lid is 11"x 22 5/8".
Inner cover is 9"× 19 5/8", 1.5" rail, 3/16" underlayment, 2" center hole, vent holes are 3/4".
Hope that helps.
Liberty Bell Beekeepers Urban Beekeeping thanks so much man, I’m probably going to make these next weekend.
There is a mistake. The back panel is 7.5" x 9.5".

Can you super it?
Yes, I make my supers for these.
