65 mm Stretcher Bars per Piece – Made in the Netherlands | Free Wedges | No Glue or Nails Required | Craftsmanship Since 1932
Our 65 mm stretcher bars are proudly produced in the Netherlands with craftsmanship passed down from generation to generation since 1932. Thanks to this long tradition in woodworking, we guarantee durable quality, a perfect fit, and maximum stability.
All stretcher bars are made from premium pine wood, carefully selected and triple-laminated. This lamination technique minimises warping or twisting. The wood is 100% PEFC-certified (Certificate No. CU-PEFC-807830) and sourced from sustainably managed forests. Assembly is easy thanks to the tongue-and-groove connection – no glue or nails required – and wedges are always included free of charge.
Whether you work with oil, acrylic, tempera, or watercolour – a painting is only as good as its foundation. With our 65 mm stretcher bars, you provide your canvas with the best base for years of enjoyment.
Why Choose 65 mm Stretcher Bars?
- Especially for large canvases requiring extra rigidity and stability.
- Suitable for artworks you want to present without a frame.
- Easy to expand with centre bars or a cross bar for maximum strength.
- Assembly without glue or nails – professional tongue-and-groove joint.
- Free wedges with every order.
Order per Piece – Maximum Flexibility
By ordering per piece, you can create any desired stretcher frame size – from standard to custom sizes. This makes our 65 mm stretcher bars ideal for bespoke projects.
Example sizes:
- 108 × 150 cm (42.5" × 59.1") → order 2 × 108 cm + 2 × 150 cm + cross bar 108 × 150 cm
- 53 × 120 cm (20.9" × 47.2") → order 2 × 53 cm + 2 × 120 cm + centre bar 53 cm
- 100 × 80 cm (39.4" × 31.5") → order 2 × 100 cm + 2 × 80 cm without centre or cross bar
Available online up to 2 metres (78.7"). Longer lengths available on request.
Frames over 2 metres are supplied with a double cross.
When Do You Need a Centre Bar?
Our stretcher bars from 50 cm (19.7") upwards have a standard slot/notch allowing a centre bar to be slotted in like a puzzle piece.
Use a centre bar when the longest side is over 120 cm (47.2") and the canvas is rectangular.
When Do You Need a Cross Bar?
A cross bar is used when both the height and width exceed 100 cm (39.4") and the canvas is nearly square.
Our centre bars from 50 cm have a standard notch so that two centre bars can be slotted together like a puzzle in the middle, forming a cross. This cross then fits puzzle-like into the stretcher frame slots.
