Stretcher Bar Set 50 cm, focus Focus Stretcher Bar 2 Pack

Pair of 50 cm stretcher bars by focus for assembling canvas frames. These two straight wooden bars are designed to form the sides of a small canvas frame, providing edge and corner support for stretched canvas used in painting, print finishing, or framing projects. The stretcher bars are intended for manual assembly with corner joints and can be combined with additional bars to create larger frames or custom dimensions.

Advantages

The focus stretcher bar set offers a consistent 50 cm length and straight-grained wooden construction to maintain frame shape and resist warping under tension. Supplied as a two-piece pack, the bars simplify procurement for small canvases and allow straightforward joining with standard corner keys or glue. Their neutral profile suits a wide range of canvas types and finishing options without adding significant weight to the completed frame.

Suitable for

• Stretching and mounting small canvases for painting and mixed media
• Print finishing and photographic mounting on rigid frames
• DIY framing projects and art education supplies
• Creating paired side rails when building custom canvas sizes

Key specifications

• Quantity: 2 bars per pack

• Profile: standard flat stretcher profile for corner joining

How to use

Assemble the stretcher bars by joining two side pieces with compatible corner keys, spline joints or glue according to the chosen frame design. Ensure joints are square and secure before stretching the canvas; use a staple gun or tacks to fasten the canvas to the rear face of the assembled frame. For larger formats, combine multiple bars to create the required dimensions and reinforce corners as needed. Sand any rough surfaces or edges and check alignment to prevent uneven tension.

Usage recommendations

Store the bars flat in a dry environment to avoid moisture-related distortion. Use matching corner keys and maintain even tension when stretching canvas to preserve frame geometry and prevent sagging over time.
