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.
Centre Bars and Half Bars are secured using Cross-bar Clamps at each end.
