| B)Ready to Assemble Stretcher Bars: |
|
| We have traditional tongue and groove stretcher bars in certain sizes, these Stretcher strips are pre-cut and spliced for easy assembly and designed so that the canvas is always one half inch from the strip to eliminate "ghost" impressions. The rounded back edges reduce surface friction and allow for a tighter draw of the fabric and a more even surface.
Please note you need to order four sticks/bars for one wooden frame. For example to make a 24x16" wooden stretcher frame with 1.5" depth, you need to order two 24" and two 16" sticks and assemble yourself.

| Wooden Stretcher Bar/Frame FAQs: |
|
Q1 : What is a stretcher bar?
A stretcher bar is used to construct a wooden stretcher frame used by artists to mount their canvases or by canvas printers. They are traditionally a wooden framework support on which an artist fastens a piece of canvas.
Q2 : What is the difference between the custom preassembled stretcher bars and the ready-to-assemble stretcher bars?
The custom preassembled stretcher bars come in a larger variety of depths and lengths. They are custom cut, joined and assembled in our production warehouse. They are ready to use when you receive them.
The ready-to-assemble stretcher bars are easy to assemble via a tongue and groove. They are joined together when connected and you do not need special tools to make the frame. These stretcher bars only come in two depths and are limited in length. If you are thinking of ordering this type of stretcher bar please make sure you have all the necessary tools and equipment to assemble the frame.
Q3 : When should I order a preassembled stretcher frame?
The traditional tongue and groove stretcher bars come as two or three profiles in certain lengths. If you need a custom size (ex. 24-1/2" x 18-3/4") or need a strong profile, then preassembled stretcher frame are the best choice. Unlike tongue and groove stretcher bars that might collapse, our pre-assembled stretcher frames stay square when you stretch the canvas over them.
Q4 : How do I know which frame depth is best for my canvas?
The frame depth depends on how big your canvas is. The thicker the frame is the better it will support your canvas. Of course, there is also a frame brace that will add extra support to your canvases.
