I need to make a frame 42" X 22" using 1" x 3" oak boards, can this expand to go around this size frame?

Yes, I believe it will. I just used it for a frame that measured 59" X 27" (outside measurement using 1 X 3 boards, as luck would have it). Even with that measurement, there was some strap left over.

Well, the clamping capacity is 23 feet or 276 inches, and the perimeter of your frame is 128 inches, so, yes.

My version of the clamp, which is now a year or two old, has a strap that's just over 23 FEET long, which will almost go around a full sheet of plywood. I have no idea what Bessey may have changed since I bought mine. The authoritative answer would be found in Bessey's current specifications for the product, undoubtedly available on their website.

Hi Darlene,I do not longer have mine, otherwise I would try to give you an exact answer. I was using it for 21x21x1 unit. As far as I recall there was still space to reduce it more if I needed too, but anyways worse case scenario, you could trim a little bit off the plastic frame. The inside can be customize very easy as well, so I believe it will work for you as well.

The frame can be stretched widthwise. Extra slots are given for making it wider. We use queen size bed.

Yes you can. Also, you can use 2 2X8s, or 2 2X6s and 1 2X4. You may have to adjust the uprights so there is not too much overhang or causes pinching on your buttinsky. Just pre measure the widths of your boards and experiment from there. You may have to drill some extra holes for greater stability.

I can fit 2 42" plus 1 36"-snug but it worksso I can see a 45-46" fitting as long as it's the only board

Our box spring (queen size) sits inside so I suppose you could do a full size and just have am inch or two of free space around the frame

Never tried it - but you might have to drill acouple extra holes in the frame - as it's designed for fewer, wider planks.

It would depend on how thick the frame is and its exterior dimensions. There isn't much extra room to spare. Hope this helps at least a little.

No way... the 1/4 spacing is already pretty tight. You need some room to pre-drill and than screw the board in a 45 degrees angle. If it's too tight the drill bit or screw bit will mark the opposite board. Anyway, 1/4 is already pretty close, remember you need to leave a reasonable gap so the timber can expand/contract. My deck I used the 5/16 and 1/4 spacers so I was able to adjust the total length by tinny bits... Cheers.

You need to pull it to stretch it over the ends of the frame after the frame is assembled. Follow the instructins on a step-by-step basis and you should be fine!

The board space is 21 X 21 inches inside the frame. The frame is about 3/4 inch all around. I just have enough corks now to complete mine and am working on the placement and will then glue them down.

It depends on the size of the squares. I extended my table top by adding, with screws, 2X4s across the end pieces to create a 4X8 table. I used 2X3s eight feet long, to create a frame, for the length. I then screwed (4) 2X4 1/2 plywood panels for the top itself. I would say with in some way or another it could be done. It may need backing of some kind like I used.

i have not tried it on one but i do not believe it would work. frame is too wide

HI, when fully extended the rack is no more than 52" so looks like it will fit into your space.Hope that was helpful.

The answer is maybe... It depends how badly you need to do this, The 22.5 width "CAN NOT" be modified... the hardware will not allow it. The 31 length however "COULD BE". It will require you to: 1.- Cut 2" of the frame, reset the frame, cut the side moldings to fit and finally cut 2" of the door it self. Hope this helps you. Please keep in mind that if you do this, YOU DO IT AT YOUR OWN RISK!!

Yes. It is better suited to round or oval. I have a 42" x 24" table and I had to jerry rig it to make it work. You either use a clamp or have a friend though... you only have about 3" to spare.

I installed the bar using 2" screws into wall studs. I had to open the wall to add lumber for a good anchor point. I would not trust anchors installed in drywall. The 36" length does not work well with 16" or 24" framing.
