 A) Custom-Made Preassembled Wooden Stretcher Frames:
Order the highest quality pre-assembled stretcher frames, available in custom sizes. Milled from clear finger joined Pine, a stretcher bar is used to construct a wooden stretcher frame onto which artists and canvas printers can mount their canvases. They may also be used for small-scale embroidery projects.

Pricing for a pre-assembled frame is based on width, height, and moulding profile. Click on your selection below, then choose your desired width, height, and quantity. Add the item to the shopping cart to see the pricing.

We recommend thicker frames for larger canvases, to ensure stability and durability. If the print is very large and the frame is very thin, the final product will be unstable and liable to crack or break.

Stretcher frame pricing:
Pricing is based on the profile and size. To see pricing click on a profile, select the size and you will see the pricing on the same page.

 B) Ready to Assemble Stretcher Bars:
We have tongue and groove stretcher bars available in certain sizes. These qulaity Basswood Stretcher strips are pre-cut and spliced for easy assembly, and designed so 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 must order four sticks/bars for one wooden frame. For example: for a 24x16" wooden stretcher frame with 1.5" depth, you need to order two 24" and two 16" sticks. They are shipped as individual sticks/bars and will need to be assembled once delivered.

 Wooden Stretcher Bar/Frame FAQs:

Q1 : What is a stretcher bar?
Q2 : Can I order length moulding instead of joined frames?
Q3 : What is the difference between the custom, preassembled stretcher bars and the ready-to-assemble stretcher bars?
Q4 : When should I order a preassembled stretcher frame?
Q5 : How do I know which frame depth is best for my canvas?
 

Q1 : What is a stretcher bar?
A stretcher bar is used to construct the wooden stretcher frame used by artists or canvas printers to mount their canvases. They are traditionally a wooden framework support on which an artist fastens a piece of canvas. Stretcher strips can be made from wood, metal, or a combination of the two. Cross braces are used to provide additional support to the frame, to keep it square, and to help prevent warping and twisting. Order online: Pre-cut stretcher bars, unassembled. Custom-made stretcher bar frames.

Q2 : Can I order length moulding instead of joined frames?
Yes, just click on a profile and in main order form find the Length Moulding link. To learn more, read our article about ordering length moulding.

Q3 : 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 joints. 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.  Order online: Pre-cut stretcher bars, unassembled. Custom-made stretcher bar frames.

Q4 : 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. Order online: Custom-made stretcher bar frames

Q5 : 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. Order online: 3/4 inch stretcher bars 1-1/2 inch stretcher bars Or, order a custom-size, fully assembled stretcher bar frame
