Keep your large canvas frames stable, strong, and perfectly stretched with the HD Canvas Stretcher Bar Cross Brace - 54" Type C (1372mm). Specifically designed for heavy-duty stretcher bars measuring 54 inches and above, this cross brace is a must-have for professional artists, framers, and gallery displays. It helps prevent frame warping, bowing, and sagging caused by canvas tension, ensuring your artwork maintains its shape over time.
Crafted from kiln-dried, knot-free Baltic pine, this premium-quality, sustainably sourced brace is lightweight yet incredibly durable. It seamlessly integrates with our Heavy Duty Stretcher Bars to provide maximum frame stability. For frames up to 84" x 84", a Type B cross brace should also be used for full structural reinforcement, extending support in two directions.
For canvas frames over 40 inches, a cross brace is highly recommended to evenly distribute tension and maintain long-term durability. Always brace using the shortest length first—for example, a 30" x 54" frame requires a single 30" brace.
