Ensure the strength, stability, and longevity of your large-scale canvas frames with the HD Canvas Stretcher Bar Cross Brace - 54" Type B (1372mm). Specifically designed for stretcher bars 54 inches and larger, this cross brace is essential for preventing warping, bowing, and sagging caused by the natural tension of stretched canvas.

Crafted from kiln-dried, knot-free Baltic pine, this premium-quality brace is lightweight yet highly durable, making it the perfect choice for professional artists, framers, and galleries. It integrates seamlessly with our Heavy Duty Stretcher Bars to provide optimal reinforcement for frames up to 84" x 84".

For stretcher bars over 40 inches, a cross brace is highly recommended to evenly distribute tension and maintain the canvas structure. To maximize support, always brace using the shortest length first—for example, a 30" x 54" frame requires a single 30" brace. For frames 54 inches and above, a Type C cross brace is also required for full reinforcement.
