Benefits of Purchasing Stretcher Bars Online

Stretcher bars are used for making wooden stretcher frames, which are used by artists and professional photographers to display their canvas artwork. Even though slightly difficult, the professionals can stretch their canvas over the stretcher frames themselves. This not only helps to save money, but also extends them the opportunity to display their work in different shapes and sizes. Moreover, a perfectly pre-stretched canvas can be sold at a much higher price. Hence, most of the professionals like to use strecher bars for stretching their canvas.

Mostly stretcher bars are available in pairs but one can buy full boxes of bars also, if required. There are many manufactures who sell their products online. Instead of buying bars in pairs, one can prefer full box purchase online, as it gives them additional discount. However, the drawback of purchasing bars in full box is that they are not inspected prior to shipment; and so there are chances for errant bar. However, customers can get it replaced along with subsequent orders. Strecher bars are made of superior quality kiln dried pine or fir and are available in five different styles and in multiple lengths. The commonly available bar styles are medium/ standard duty, light duty, medium/heavy duty-goldilocks, heavy duty-midi and super heavy duty bars.

Standard sizes between the different types of bars generally vary in terms of depth and width. Sizes start from " depth and 15/8" width in Medium/ Standard Duty bars and range up to 1 1/2" depth and 2" whole in width in Super Heavy Duty bars. Long stretcher bars are made by finger splicing. Finger splicing is the process of bonding wooden pieces together to strengthen long bars. This prevents the wood from bending. Manufactures also recommend the use of braces for lengthy bars to avoid prevent the bending. All these bars are made with round and raised edges for easy and smooth stretching of the canvas. Moreover, the raised edges lift canvas and avoid the contact of canvas with wood.

Online shopping also helps professionals to avoid wasting of their valuable time in searching for suitable strecher bars.
