Aerial hoop 100 cm
Item sold individually, without fixings . Remember to order them separately! In the photos titled "Assembly example", the fixing items are not supplied with the hoop, you will find them on our site in the Aerial equipment category.
In this product sheet, we guide you to choose the right diameter, fixing options and provide you with advice for safe use.
Aerial hoop:
The simplicity of setting up aerial hoops makes them a popular circus device. The model presented here is versatile thanks to the different types of possible attachments. It can be set up fixed to the end of a rope. It can also be used with a pivot to allow 360° rotation or used swinging with an attachment on each side.
What diameter of aerial hoop should I choose?
Choosing the diameter of your aerial hoop depends on your height. Sit on a chair and measure the distance between the seat and the top of your head. Add 10 cm of beat above your head, then 5 cm corresponding to 2x the diameter of the tube. For example, if this distance is 70 cm, the outer diameter of the hoop to choose will be 85 cm (70 cm + 10 cm + 5 cm).
With this method you will be sure not to hit your head on the top of the hoop when you are sitting. If you are teaching students of different sizes, remember to check that they cannot hit their heads before you start :-).
NetJuggler's opinion on the aerial hoop:

Adhesive tape coating:
The hoop is delivered ready to be covered with fabric grip. We recommend the TESA fabric grip available on our website. This grip has the particularity of not releasing glue residue on the hands and body, even after intensive use of the hoop.
Attachment system:
A ring is sold alone. You will need to purchase the aerial hoop attachments separately. Using a single attachment for static use and/or using 2 attachments for swinging use. The structure has 3 holes (visible in the photos), depending on your assembly, the gap will be either 50cm or 55cm. We have put some photos of examples of attachments.
If you use a single hook, it is possible that the hoop will pivot slightly on itself (even if you do not use a pivot), to compensate for this, fix it at two points.

What are the conditions for installing an aerial hoop?
Height is needed:
To install a hoop, you will need a ceiling height of at least 4 meters. The hoop will not necessarily be 4 meters high, but you need height above and below the hoop. Any installation with a height lower than 4 meters will cause you frustration and very limited use of the apparatus. Imagine yourself hanging from the hoop, you need a lot of space below it. Now imagine yourself standing on the bottom of the hoop, you also need space above you. With a swinging movement on the hoop, you will need even more space. Without the necessary space, you will end up with a hoop that will have a role similar to that of a swing.
Dynamic vs. Static:
Remember that a moving body can weigh up to 3 times the mass of a static body. When you are on an aerial hoop, you are a moving body. A fixture that will withstand your stationary (static) mass will not be sufficient.
Fixing at your home as an individual:
Your life or your child's life is going to be on a hoop. Don't neglect its installation.
An aerial hoop attachment cannot be improvised. Consult a rigging specialist or an architect, or seek the advice of a mason. During our discussions with some novice customers, we are told to use punching ball attachment plates. These attachments are made to attach 30 to 50 kg to the ceiling. The mass of a person in motion (dynamic) can be up to 3 times their mass in a static position. Never use this type of plate, an accident would be assured. Each building has a different structure of its own with its own resistances and materials. One of the best solutions that requires the least technique is to use a ring sewn around an imposing beam. Here again, seek the advice of a specialist.
Fixing in a professional environment:
Do not carry out any installation of anchor points without having a study and installation carried out by professionals.

Good morning!
I have ordered from your site before and you are the best.
I would like to know what diameter to take for an aerial hoop (I am 1.70m tall and I plan to do it as a duo with a friend who is about 1.55m tall).
I'm thinking of getting a 100cm or 105cm diameter, what do you recommend?
THANKS.
Have a nice end of the day
Choosing the diameter of your aerial hoop depends on your height. Here's how to determine the ideal size: Take your measurement sitting on a chair: Sit on a chair. Measure the distance from the seat of the chair to the top of your head. For example, if this distance is 70 cm, you need to add 10 cm of swing above your head and then 5 cm corresponding to 2x the diameter of the tube). Calculating the hoop diameter: Add 10 cm to the measurement obtained then 5 cm. In our example, 70 cm + 10 cm + 5 cm = 85 cm. The outer diameter of the hoop to choose will therefore be 85cm. Safety and comfort With this method, you can be sure that you won't hit your head on the top of the hoop while sitting. If you're teaching students of different heights or if the hoop is used by people of different heights, always check that they can't hit their heads before starting the exercises. In summary, measuring correctly and adding the necessary space ensures both safety and comfort when using the aerial hoop.
