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 but also used with a pivot to allow a 360° rotation or even used swinging with an attachment on each side.

What diameter of aerial hoop should I choose?

The diameter of your aerial hoop is chosen according to your height. When sitting on the hoop, there should be 10cm of headroom. You can measure this by sitting on a chair (e.g. height between the chair and your head = 70cm, so you will need an aerial hoop with an internal diameter of 80cm). If you are buying for a circus school where several people will be using the same hoop, this space may vary slightly and extend up to 15cm.

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 who vary in height, remember to check that they cannot hit their head before you begin :-).

Anti-corrosion treatment.

Adhesive tape coating:

The hoop comes ready to be covered with fabric grip. We recommend the Prodigy Snake Tape . This grip has the particularity of not releasing any glue residue on the hands and body, even after intensive use of the hoop.

Attachment system:

A ring is sold packaged 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 binding that will only support 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 even 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.
