The strings of this trapeze are only in cotton. They have no steel cables inside. It is important for a static trapeze not to contain any steel. This gives it a better grip, the strings are thus more flexible for a good comfort of use. This is what makes it possible to perform all the tricks in the ropes easily. The swinging trapezes, on the other hand, contain a steel cable in order to solidify the whole structure because they are more stressed by the pressures of the swing.

Which trapeze size to choose?
For children and schools:
If you buy a trapeze for a school and children, we recommend that you use a trapeze that is not too wide. A 50cm wide model will be suitable. The length of 50cm corresponds to the interior length and does not include the ropes. The total length of the 50cm trapeze is 55cm (rope 2.5cm in diameter).
For adults:
The most used trapeze size for adults is 55cm, which is the distance between the strings. The total length of the 55cm trapeze is 60cm (2.5cm diameter rope).
For large sizes:
For large sizes, generally for men, we will use a 60cm trapeze. The total length of the 60cm trapeze is 65cm (rope 2.5cm in diameter).
Fixing the trapeze:
This trapeze can be fixed either with a carabiner / quick link, or with a truck loop. The carabiners and links sold on our website are compatible with this trapeze. The carabiners will be more practical if you often have to install and then uninstall your trapeze, the links are less expensive and more practical on a fixed installation. All our aerial accessories
Warning , it is important to be able to change the links / carabiners. Some sell trapezes with built-in carabiners that cannot be removed from their trapezes. But it is then impossible to change the carabiners when they are damaged, which can potentially be dangerous.
Tips for using the trapeze:
To readjust the horizontality of the bar, twist or untwist the strands. In order not to cause premature wear on your trapeze, never cover splices or ligatures with plasticized material.
What kind of use ?
- Intended for use by all types of practitioners: beginners and professionals.
- Audience: children and adults.
- Recommended in circus initiation workshops : robust and reliable equipment.
Trapeze safety:
Two important points for safety with a trapeze: the fixation and the landing mat.
Regarding the hooks, have your installation done, or checked by an approved body. Whether you are in a professional environment or at home, the safety of the people who will find themselves on the trapeze depends on this fixation.
The "FFEC" French Federation of Circus Schools recommends an installation of trapezes at a height of 6m50 for professional shows.
They recommend the use of a fall mattress of at least 2 meters by 2 meters, 40 centimeters thick.
For lesson use, with children or beginners NetJuggler advises you to limit the height of use of your trapeze.
On a working height of less than 1.50m, we recommend that you use a mattress that is at least 10cm thick and whose dimensions are at least 1.50 x 1.50m.
For a working height of between 1.50m and 2.50m: use a landing mat or fall mat at least 20cm thick whose dimensions are at least: 2mx2m.
Do not take the safety of practitioners lightly, for your lessons, limit the height to which your students can climb. Never practice alone!
Do not take the safety of practitioners lightly, never climb above two meters in height without a suitable safety system.

bonjour,
est-il possible de fixer le trapèze à 1 arbre?
Ct nicolas
Je l'ai fait autrefois, à titre provisoire. Protéger la branche et le haut des cordes
Mettre en place des aériens sur des arbres n'est pas une bonne idée. Il est impossible de respecter les normes sur les attaches et seul quelqu'un de spécialisé dans les arbres pourrait vous accompagner car pour pratiquer du trapèze, il vous faudra deux points d'ancrages capables de résister à une tonne de pression environ. Il faut la bonne essence d'arbre et être sûr qu'il soit en bonne santé.
Robustesse de la poutre / branche
La poutre ou la branche où vous installez votre matériel doit être capable de soutenir au moins une tonne de pression. Ce n'est pas votre poids qu'on doit pouvoir retenir mais votre poids en mouvement. Et là désolé, mais même si vous rentrez le ventre et bien quand vous vous tortillez dans tous les sens sur du matériel aérien, votre poids peut facilement aller jusqu'à 500 / 600kg.
Pour savoir si votre poutre ou votre branche est suffisamment robuste, je ne pourrais pas vous aider, je n'ai pas l'expertise. Il faudra faire appel à un expert, un spécialiste des arbres, bref quelqu'un qui s'y connait. Et même là on déconseille vivement ce type de mise en place. Je peux en revanche vous donner des conseils pour la mise en place sur une poutre. N'hésitez pas à reprendre contact par email pour des conseils personnalisés sur la mise en place d'aériens.
bonjour , pouvez vous me dire en quelle matière est la barre du trapèze ?
je dois l installer au dessus d une piscine ( chlore)
Bonjour,
Savez vous qu'elle est la durée d'utilisation recommandée d'un trapèze ? en heure et ou/ année ?
Merci d'avance
Si les cordes sont en bon état, il n'y a pas de limite sur la durée d'utilisation d'un trapèze. Ce qui est vrai pour la plupart du matériel d'aérien/d'escalade. Le matériel nécessite cependant une vérification annuelle par une structure agrée. Si le matériel est en bon état, vous pouvez continuer de l'utiliser. Il n'y a pas de raison d'intervenir tant que le matériel passe son test annuel.
