Maintain maximum stability and prevent warping in your large canvas frames with the Heavy Duty Canvas Stretcher Bar Cross Brace - 72" Type C (1829mm). Specifically designed for stretcher bars 72 inches and above, this premium-quality cross brace is essential for keeping artwork perfectly stretched, structurally sound, and free from bowing or sagging over time.

Expertly crafted from kiln-dried, knot-free Baltic pine, this lightweight yet incredibly strong brace is ideal for professional artists, galleries, and framers. It seamlessly integrates with our Heavy Duty Stretcher Bars and is designed to be used alongside a Type B cross brace to provide complete frame stability for canvases up to 84" x 84".

For canvas frames over 40 inches, a cross brace is highly 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 36" brace.
