A "strainer" frame means that it is not keyable (expandable). We can make round strainer or stretcher frames in any size you desire but our “standard” sizes offer the most economical option. They are available in 12", 18", and 24" diameters, in 3/4" or 1-1/2" depths.  Larger round strainer frames are available here.

3/4"-deep options are now made as a solid panel in fir plywood. These can be painted on directly or stretched with canvas. 1-1/2″ strainers use Baltic birch plywood with 1/4" fall to ensure the canvas only touches the edges. A layer of fir plywood is laminated to the back, allowing easy stapling of the canvas.

The inside edge of the 1-1/2" strainer frames are beveled for mounting using a matching gravity bar supplied with each frame. 3/4" panels may be hung using any standard method.

You can choose the panel/strainer on its own, with canvas included (pre-cut to the correct size), or stretched with canvas by us. If you are stretching your own canvas, we recommend using unprimed cotton or linen canvas then priming after. Unprimed canvas is much more flexible and can be pulled tight around curved edges without creating unsightly pleating on the sides.

Small Round Panels and Canvas Strainers typically ship in 5-7 business days but our turn-around times do vary depending on our workload. Please notify us if you have a specific deadline.
