Order Stretcher Bars Individually – Combine All 45-mm Sizes | Free Wedges | No Glue or Nails

Build your custom stretcher with individual bars. Choose exact lengths to assemble virtually any 45-mm size — perfect for stretching canvas, linen and cotton. Our bars are made from premium spruce, finger-jointed and, in the Classic line, laminated for extra dimensional stability. Wedges included free.

How to order individual bars

For one complete stretcher frame, order two identical lengths for the width and two identical lengths for the height:

• 40 × 63 cm → 2 × 40 cm + 2 × 63 cm
• 33 × 60 cm → 2 × 33 cm + 2 × 60 cm

Canvas & sizing advice

• Keep your fabric at least 5 cm larger on all sides than the frame.
• Stretch evenly; finish corners last.
• Use the supplied wedges for re-tensioning.

Braces & cross braces

• 45 mm: usually not required for small sizes; optional reinforcement available.
• 65 mm: add a centre brace for long rectangles; a cross for large squares.

Material & sustainability

• Spruce wood — finger-jointed for straight, stable bars.
• Classic/Museum — laminated to reduce warping.
• PEFC-certified from responsibly managed forests.
