Alliance Radiata Pine: 9-1/8" Deep Groove Top / Groove Bottom (Unassembled) | 100 Pack

Strong. Straight. Built to Last.

Alliance Deep Frames are engineered for beekeepers who demand consistency, strength, and performance in the brood chamber. Manufactured from New Zealand–grown Radiata Pine, each component is precision cut in Alliance’s sawmill and kiln-dried to a controlled 12% moisture content to minimize twisting, warping, and dimensional movement over time.

High-speed precision machining ensures uniform profiles and tight tolerances, allowing for fast, frustration-free assembly and square frames that hold up under heavy brood loads and extraction stress. The grooved top and bottom bar design, paired with pre-drilled end bars, makes these frames compatible with plastic foundation or wired wax foundation, giving beekeepers flexibility without compromise.

These frames are tested and proven in standard North American extraction equipment, making them a dependable choice for both commercial operators and backyard beekeepers who want equipment that lasts season after season.
