Stick & Stretch 1500 PRO Stretcher Bars for Canvas Frames
- 1.5" high wooden bars

- 8 pieces per box, sold in 2 piece increments
- Requires Starter Kit, sold separately
Get started with the simplest canvas framing system in the world. Build the frame around the canvas, rather than wrap the canvas around the frame.
Stick & Stretch 1500 PRO wooden stretcher bars come pre-cut and ready to go with double-sided adhesive tape pre-applied. Choose from multiple lengths to create the size and proportions you need. The product is sold in 2 piece increments. Each piece includes 1 wooden stretcher bar, 1 corner brace tensioner, and 1 metal staple. This builds 1 side of a rectangle (4 sides). For example, if you want to make a 16" x 20" frame, buy 2 16" bars and 2 20" bars.
Notes
- The Stick & Stretch 1500 PRO Starter Kit is required to use this product correctly.
- The 8" stretcher bars are too short for corner braces to fit. Corner braces are not included with 8" stretcher bars.
Stick & Stretch 1500 PRO stretcher bars are made from high grade, sustainably harvested North American basswood. Key specifications include high stability, low resin content, and low lignin content. The wood is kiln dried to less than 8% moisture content. This prevents twisting, warping, and shrinking after the canvas has been applied to the frame. The corner braces double as tensioners, creating a drum-like feel to the finished product. These bars are 1.5" high. This product is designed and made in Canada.
