Aerial Hoop:
The ease of setting up aerial hoops makes them a popular circus device. The model presented here is versatile thanks to the different types of attachments available. It can be set up attached to the end of a rope. It can also be used with a swivel to allow 360° rotation or used swinging with an attachment on each side.
What diameter aerial hoop should I choose?
Choosing the diameter of your aerial hoop depends on your height. Sit on a chair and measure the distance from the seat to the top of your head. Add 10 cm of airflow above your head, then 5 cm, which is twice the diameter of the tube. For example, if this distance is 70 cm, the outer diameter of the hoop you should choose would be 85 cm (70 cm + 10 cm + 5 cm).
On our site for all aerial hoops we will always talk to you about the outside diameter.
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 heights, remember to check that they cannot hit their heads before you begin :-).

Guide to Hitting an Aerial Hoop
Attachment system:
One ring is sold separately. You will need to purchase the aerial hoop attachments separately. Use one attachment for static use and/or use two attachments for swinging use. The structure has three holes (visible in the photos), depending on your setup, the distance will be either 50cm or 55cm. We have included some photos of attachment examples.
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'll need a ceiling height of at least 4 meters. The hoop won't necessarily be 4 meters high, but you'll need height above and below the hoop. Any installation with a height lower than 4 meters will cause frustration and very limited use of the apparatus. Imagine yourself hanging from the hoop; you need plenty of space below it. Now imagine yourself standing on the bottom of the hoop; you also need space above you. With a swinging motion on the hoop, you'll need even more space. Without the necessary space, you'll 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're on an aerial hoop, you're a moving body. A fixture that will support your stationary (static) mass won't be enough.
Fixing at your home as an individual:
Your life or your child's life is about to end up on a hoop. Don't neglect its installation.
An aerial hoop attachment cannot be improvised. Consult a specialist rigger or an architect, or seek the advice of a mason. During our discussions with some novice clients, we are told to use punching bag attachment plates. These attachments are designed 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 guaranteed. Each building has a different structure, with its own specific strengths and materials. One of the best solutions, which requires the least technical expertise, is to use a ring sewn around a large beam. Here again, consult a specialist.
Fixation in the professional environment:
Do not install anchor points without having a study and installation carried out by professionals.

Information on returns and exchanges for aerial hoops
We find that many customers order aerial hoops without taking the time to read the description or the tips for choosing the right size.
In the event of a size error, you will be responsible for the return and shipping costs for a new hoop. Please note that these costs can be high, as an aerial hoop exceeds the standard dimensions of the carriers.

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.
