At the risk of being belittled for using follower boards (which I swear by), if you use 9 frames and follower boards to keep them tightly configured, removing the follower board gives the room to move (great John Mayall hit) for the remaining 9.  9 frames and a follower board on each end is the bees' knees in my yards.
