In connection with the non-destructive stretching and fastening of pelts on distention elements/pelt boards, where the pelt is stretched and fastened during the drying process by means of a fixing bag, has shown that the pelts shrink of the tail root of the pelt. It is desirable to stretch the pelts to a greater degree than possible using the known stretching machines. This has led to the development of a new method and a stretching machine, where the gripping elements are configured to correspond with the shape of the pelt board, so to engage the pelt by the gripping elements along the whole of the lower periphery of the pelt, to distribute the counter-hold force in the pelt over the whole periphery of the pelt, whereby the pelt can be stretched to a greater degree without any damage to the pelt in the areas of engagement for the gripping elements.
