Hi All,
We got a canvas paint which is rolled up and would like to frame it. I’m looking to purchase the stretcher bars 140cm x 140cm. Since the size is unique I can’t find this online. This is going to be my first frame DIY and need some community help.
Where can I find a good bargain for 4 bars plus additional middle or corner bars to make it strong?
I’m located in Sydney south.
I looked into Newtown art store 137cm pair would cost $62++.
Also I need to buy a nail gun and a stretcher as per YouTube tutorials.
Anything else I’m missing?
Was going to suggest https://www.frameshop.com.au/canvas-stretcher-bars but seems 140cm x 140cm is too big for their DIY kits.. although helpful in suggesting 4cm x 4cm for the frame thickness.
Bunnings have those mitre boxes to help in cutting at the right angle, they also sell staple guns for attaching the canvas to the frame.
When I looked at DIY for a canvas as a one off I ended up just sucking it up and paying a framing shop to stretch and frame it.
