At last, for those artists who prefer to work in metric dimensions, we provide the perfect solution with these unique stretcher bars. These artist stretchers are made from kiln-dried Arakaria, or Hoop Pine which is a plantation-grown native Australian timber grown in Queensland and northern New South Wales. Hoop Pine is a superior timber to Radiata, and other pine species commonly used for stretcher arms, as it has no knots and is less prone to warping. This in conjunction with their construction using finger jointed segments, provides a straight and stable artist stretcher that will support your artworks with confidence into the future. The clean, crisp edge and 32mm depth gives a visual strength to the artwork that is perfect for frameless display.

When choosing your stretcher components we recommend, for the stability of the stretched canvas, that a single brace be added on any dimension length of 100cm and up. Therefore, when both dimensions are 100cm and up you would require each dimension to have a brace added (known as a cross brace). Metric Bracing bars are available HERE.
