Ensure maximum stability and prevent warping in your large canvas frames with the Heavy Duty Canvas Stretcher Bar Cross Brace - 66" Type B (1676mm). Specifically designed for stretcher bars 66 inches and larger, this brace is essential for reinforcing large artworks, keeping frames straight, and preventing bowing due to the tension of stretched canvas.

Expertly crafted from kiln-dried, knot-free Baltic pine, this premium-quality cross brace is strong, lightweight, and durable, making it ideal for professional artists, galleries, and framers. Designed to integrate seamlessly with our Heavy Duty Stretcher Bars, this Type B brace is a key component in a dual-brace system—to achieve optimal stability for frames up to 84" x 84", a Type C cross brace is also required.

For canvas frames over 40 inches, a cross brace is highly recommended to evenly distribute tension and maintain frame integrity. To maximize support, always brace using the shortest length first—for example, a 36" x 66" frame requires a single 36" brace.
