GW3836F is a 38 x 36mm pine wooden Stretcher Bar in Gowin’s Heavy Duty Stretcher Bars range. Gowin states Stretcher Bar dimensions as thickness x width, so this profile has a 38mm thickness and a 36mm width. It is an outer frame component used to form the perimeter over which the canvas is stretched.
GW3836F can be supplied in tenoned or non-tenoned structures, with lengths up to 300cm. It shares the same nominal dimensions as GW3836X, but the two models have different profile shapes. If you are matching an existing frame program, confirm the required shape with a profile drawing, cross-section dimensions or physical sample.

Product Features
38mm Thickness x 36mm Width
The GW3836F profile measures 38mm in thickness and 36mm in width. Both dimensions should be checked together with the required profile shape, finished frame dimensions, canvas specification, stretching tension, internal support requirement and final application.
Distinct GW3836F Profile Shape
The model suffix identifies a specific Gowin profile shape. GW3836F and GW3836X have the same nominal 38 x 36mm dimensions, but their machined shapes are different. Nominal dimensions alone are therefore not sufficient when you need to match an existing profile.
Tenoned and Non-Tenoned Options
For standard tenoned bars, the four frame sides are normally assembled by fitting the machined corner joints together, so conventional frame nailing is generally not required for basic assembly. Additional reinforcement may still be used depending on the complete frame structure and application.
Non-tenoned bars can be supplied when you have your own tenoning machinery or intend to use direct-nailing frame assembly. Confirm the required structure before sampling and quotation.
Assembly Fit Confirmation
Corner fit can be confirmed during sampling according to your intended assembly method and frame-production requirements.
Recommended Applications
- Stretched canvas production
- Printed canvas and photo canvas frames
- Decorative wall art
- Wholesale and private-label canvas-frame production
How to Evaluate the 38 x 36mm Profile
Profile selection should begin with the complete finished frame requirement. Review the finished frame dimensions, required profile thickness and width, profile shape, canvas material, stretching tension, internal support plan, assembly method and final application before confirming GW3836F.
If you are developing a new frame program, test the profile with the intended canvas and frame dimensions. If you are matching an existing product, provide a cross-section drawing or physical sample so the profile shape can be checked as well as the nominal dimensions.
GW3836F and GW3836X Profile Comparison
GW3836F and GW3836X both measure 38mm in thickness x 36mm in width, but their profile shapes are different. Nominal dimensions alone are therefore not sufficient when matching an existing profile. To confirm the correct model, provide a profile drawing, cross-section dimensions or a physical sample.
Internal Support Guidance
GW3836F forms the outer perimeter of the frame. Internal Supporting Bars are separate components that may be added according to the complete frame structure.
As a general starting point, internal support should normally be considered when the long side reaches approximately 60cm. This is general guidance rather than a fixed engineering rule, and it does not mean that every frame at this size requires a Supporting Bar.
The actual requirement depends on the finished frame dimensions, outer Stretcher Bar profile, canvas specification, stretching tension, support layout and final application. If you already use a particular support profile or frame drawing, include it for confirmation before production.
Ordering, Lengths and Customization
Lengths and Order Quantities
GW3836F can be supplied in lengths up to 300cm. For quotation, provide the required length list and quantity for each size. The standard MOQ is 1,000 pcs per size, although a lower quantity may be discussed according to the composition and total quantity of the complete order.
Profile and Assembly Requirements
Please confirm the required GW3836F profile shape and whether you need tenoned bars for fitted-corner assembly or non-tenoned bars for your own machining or direct-nailing process. Assembly fit, packing and labeling requirements can be confirmed according to the order.
If you are matching an existing Stretcher Bar, provide a profile drawing, complete cross-section dimensions or a physical sample where available. Include the finished frame sizes, canvas specification and estimated quantities so feasibility, sampling and MOQ can be confirmed.
Wood, Production and Quality
GW3836F follows the general pine-wood and production basis used for Gowin’s wooden Stretcher Bars. The wood is kiln-dried before machining, and finger-jointed construction is used where applicable.
During production, we check profile dimensions, profile shape, straightness, surface sanding, joint fit and packing condition. Regular pine may include slight sound knots. If a cleaner appearance or different wood-grade requirement is needed, confirm it before sampling and quotation.
Packing and Export Supply
OEM and private-label packing are available. Packing and labeling requirements can be confirmed according to the bar lengths, quantities, corner structure and shipping method.
For full-container orders, FOB terms can be discussed; otherwise, supply is normally based on EXW terms. DDP or door-to-door delivery can also be discussed according to the destination and order requirements.
Sample and Profile Confirmation
Samples are available. Before bulk production, confirm the 38 x 36mm dimensions and GW3836F profile shape together with the intended canvas, frame size and assembly method.
For sample and quotation preparation, please provide:
- Finished frame sizes
- Required bar lengths and quantities by size
- Profile drawing, cross-section dimensions or physical sample, if available
- Canvas specification and stretching method
- Tenoned or non-tenoned structure
- Internal support requirement, if already known
- Packing requirements and destination
Frequently Asked Questions
What do the GW3836F dimensions mean?
GW3836F measures 38 x 36mm. Following Gowin’s thickness x width convention, this means 38mm thickness and 36mm width.
Is GW3836F an outer Stretcher Bar?
Yes. GW3836F is a Heavy Duty outer wooden Stretcher Bar used to form the perimeter of a canvas frame. It is not an internal Supporting Bar or Cross Brace.
What is the difference between GW3836F and GW3836X?
Both models have the same nominal 38 x 36mm dimensions, but their profile shapes are different. Confirm the required model from the cross-section shape rather than the dimensions alone.
When should internal support be considered?
As a general starting point, internal support should normally be considered when the long side reaches approximately 60cm. This is not a fixed rule; the final requirement depends on the complete frame dimensions and structure.
