Stretcher Bars Individually — Combine Any 45-mm Size | Free Wedges | No Glue or Nails

Create your made-to-measure frame with individual stretcher bars. Order the exact lengths you need to assemble virtually any 45-mm size — ideal for stretching canvas, linen and cotton. Crafted from premium spruce, finger-jointed and (for the Classic line) laminated to maximise stability. Wedges included free of charge.

How to order individual bars

For one complete stretcher frame, always 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 guidance

• Allow at least 5 cm extra fabric on each side of the frame.
• Stretch evenly, finishing the corners last.
• Use the supplied wedges to fine-tension the canvas.

Braces & cross-braces

• 45 mm: usually unnecessary for small sizes; extra bracing available on request.
• 65 mm: add a centre brace for long rectangles or 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.
