Aluminium Conservation Centre Bar:
Because of the strength of aluminium stretcher bars, cross-bars are not necessary for lengths under 150 cm.
To have a cross-bar on the short dimension the frame needs a solid Centre Bar.
For the longer cross-bar dimension the frame will need a pair of Half Bars. These are cut to fit exactly.
