Total tension control, lighter hardwood frames, and a drum-tight stretch every time.
What's in the Box?
Each size arrives with its own specific components for assembly. Based on rigorous testing, our smaller frames do not require internal bracing to maintain a perfect, drum-tight stretch. Our kits include:
- All Sizes: Four solid wood edge bars, pre-stapled canvas, 4 corner keys, shipping tube, and foam wrap.
- Size 24"x30": (Note: This size does not require or include a cross-bar/dual braces. The 4 corner keys provide total tension control.)
- Size 30"x40": Includes one horizontal solid wood brace and its corresponding brace keys.
- Sizes larger than 30"x40": Include full solid wood dual braces, 4 brace spines, and all 8 tension keys for maximum stability.

Summary of the improvements:
- Upgraded Stretcher Bars: The new design uses professional-grade wood that is both stronger and more lightweight than the previous version.
- Machined Edges: The bars now feature a rounded machined edge and more traditional corners.
- Improved Bracing System: Unlike the old design which used a single horizontal brace with plastic parts that were prone to breaking, the new version includes both a horizontal and a vertical brace for increased stability.
- Lighter Overall Weight: Due to the new materials, the overall package is several pounds lighter, making it easier to carry and more cost-effective to ship.
New Assembly and Tensioning Features
- Brace Spines: The system now includes four "brace spines" that slide into the stretcher bars and lock onto the braces via pre-installed nails.
- Tensioning Keys: To address issues with canvas sagging in humid climates, the new design includes 12 keys: eight for the braces and four for the corners.
- Adjustable Tightness: By tapping these keys into the braces or corners with a mallet, artists can customise the canvas tension to their specific preference.
- Simplified Disassembly: The keys and spines are designed to be easily popped out when an artist needs to disassemble the canvas.
What Remains the Same
- Assembly Method: The canvas still fits together in the traditional way by sliding the corners together, which can be done by hand or with a mallet.
- Velcro Attachment: The method of folding and securing the canvas corners using Velcro remains unchanged from the previous design.
Packaging: The product still ships in the signature Genie tube with the same standard packaging materials.
