Frame Focus Focus Stretcher Bar 2 Pack 60 cm — focus 510000060K

Focus Stretcher Bar 2 Pack 60 cm is a pair of wooden stretcher bars intended for building small to medium stretched canvas frames. Each set contains two 60 cm pieces that form a straight, stable edge when joined with corresponding bars, providing a reliable foundation for stretching canvas, fabric or photographic prints for gallery-style presentation or framing.

Advantages

The stretcher bars are made from kiln-dried wood to reduce warping and ensure dimensional stability. Their straight, uniform profile simplifies assembly and maintains tension across the canvas. The smooth surface and square edges help produce neat gallery wraps and consistent corners when stapling or tacking fabric. The two-pack format supplies the matching lengths needed for symmetrical frames.

Suitable for

• Artists stretching oil or acrylic canvas for painting or display
• Printmakers and photographers mounting prints or reproductions
• Framers creating gallery wrap canvases or custom photo frames
• DIY craft and studio projects requiring straight, stable frame edges

Key specifications

• Length per bar: 60 cm
• Pack quantity: 2 bars
• Material: kiln-dried wood
• Profile: straight, square-edged stretcher profile suitable for stapling or tacking
• Intended use: canvas or fabric stretching and mounting

How to use

Measure and cut the required complementary bars to assemble a complete rectangular frame, ensuring corners meet squarely. Join the bars at the corners using keys, staples, glue or corner joints appropriate for the chosen frame depth and canvas size. Stretch the canvas over the assembled frame, working from the centre of each side toward the corners to maintain even tension, and fix the canvas with staples, tacks or an appropriate adhesive. Trim excess fabric and finish corners for a clean gallery wrap or prepare the frame for external framing.

Usage recommendations

Store the stretcher bars in a dry, temperature-stable environment prior to use to maintain straightness. For best results when creating gallery wraps, use a uniform stapling pattern and check tension periodically during the stretching process. Select complementary bars of the same material and moisture content to minimise future movement.
