For large-scale canvas frames, ensuring stability and preventing warping is essential. The Heavy Duty Canvas Stretcher Bar Cross Brace - 72" Type B (1829mm) is specifically designed for stretcher bars 72 inches and above, offering superior reinforcement to keep your artwork perfectly aligned, taut, and long-lasting.

Crafted from kiln-dried, knot-free Baltic pine, this premium-quality, sustainably sourced brace is both lightweight and highly durable, making it an ideal choice for professional artists, galleries, and framers. Designed to seamlessly integrate with our Heavy Duty Stretcher Bars, this Type B brace works in conjunction with a Type C cross brace to provide full-frame stability for canvases up to 84" x 84".

For canvas frames over 40 inches, a cross brace is strongly recommended to distribute frame tension evenly and maintain long-term integrity. Always brace using the shortest length first—for example, a 36" x 72" frame requires a single 36" brace.
