Ensure the ultimate stability and reinforcement for your large canvas frames with the Heavy Duty Canvas Stretcher Bar Cross Brace - 66" Type C (1676mm). Designed specifically for stretcher bars 66 inches and larger, this high-quality cross brace is essential for preventing warping, bowing, and sagging caused by stretched canvas tension.

Expertly crafted from kiln-dried, knot-free Baltic pine, this lightweight yet incredibly strong brace is built for professional artists, galleries, and framers who need long-lasting, reliable frame support. It integrates seamlessly with our Heavy Duty Stretcher Bars and is designed to be used alongside a Type B cross brace for full structural reinforcement, ensuring complete stability for canvases up to 84" x 84".

For stretcher bars over 40 inches, a cross brace is highly recommended to distribute frame tension evenly and maintain long-term integrity. To maximize support, always brace using the shortest length first—for example, a 36" x 66" frame requires a single 36" brace.
