These premium aluminum stretcher bars are ideal for very large canvases (up to 30 ft and more!), situations where a thinner canvas is desired in a large size, and for artwork that will be hung in challenging environments, including fluctuating temperature and humidity. A mechanical keying system allows full adjustment of canvas tightness on the bars and braces.

These 40mm-thick (~1-1/2") stretcher frames are available online in sizes ranging from 24-90” (~61-229 cm) - for larger sizes, please contact us at 1-800-561-4944 or submit a quote request.

When you select your desired frame height and width, any required bracing will be calculated automatically. If you wish to purchase your stretcher frame(s) with different bracing than that calculated, please contact us.

All custom frames are assembled and checked by our staff before being packaged. We ship our stretcher frames unassembled, stretched wrapped, and labeled. For additional information on how to assemble a stretcher frame, stretch a canvas, and more, visit our Education page.

27mm-thick (~1") aluminum stretcher frames are available here.

Aluminum frames typically ship in 10-15 business days but our turn-around times do vary depending on our workload. Please notify us if you have a specific deadline.
