Welcome to my site! We have the Heavy Duty information that you are looking for.

What is the best way to reinforce a 100" by 58" set of heavy duty strecthers before stretching the canvas?

I am trying to create a perfectly tight 100" x 58" canvas. I am using TWO sets of 50" wide by 58" tall heavy duty frames end to end, creating the desired 100" by 58" canvas area. My main concern is preventing warping with such a large format. I have stretched 64" by 36" paintings with success - but this feels like a whole new world. I would like to know what the best method will be to connect the two frames together (screws?) and what the most effective crossbar supports would be, as I have yet to purchase those. Help, I feel in way over my head here.

There should be cross-braces every 24 inches - so ideally, the stretchers should have a double cross brace on each panel (you will have 4 divided spaces per panel).

ie: for each of your 2 panels, the East/West brace will be made to fit the inside dimension of the 50" bars when assembled, with a slot (a dado cut halfway through the brace) cut at the centre point to fit the North/South brace. The North/South brace will fit the inside measurement of the 58" bars, with a slot cut to fit the East/West brace where they cross each other.

If you give your finished dimensions to the store where you buy your stretchers, they will do the math for you. You can easily assemble this yourself - be sure to use a large carpenter's square to get the corners true.

To help prevent warping, you could use a triangular bracket on each corner at the back, made of masonite or 1/4" plywood, about 12" on a side, screwed right into the stretcher bars. You could use a larger triangle to fit the two panels together at the back, top & bottom. Those corner wedges might help tighten the canvas once it's stretched, but will have to be used before the corner braces go on.

Good fortune - this sounds like a monumental project!
