100cm Aerial Hoop
Item sold individually, without fixings . Remember to order them separately! In the photos titled "Assembly Example", the fixings are not included with the hoop; you can find them on our website in the Aerial Equipment category.
In this product sheet, we guide you in choosing the right diameter, mounting options, and provide tips for safe use.
Aerial hoop:
The simplicity of setting up aerial hoops makes them a popular circus apparatus. The model shown here is versatile thanks to the different types of attachments available. It can be hung from the end of a rope. It can also be used with a swivel to allow 360° rotation or used in a swinging position with an attachment point on each side.
What diameter aerial hoop should I choose?
The diameter of your aerial hoop depends on your height. Sit in a chair and measure the distance from the seat to the top of your head. Add 10 cm of clearance above your head, then add another 5 cm, which is twice the diameter of the hoop. For example, if this distance is 70 cm, the outer diameter of the hoop you should choose will be 85 cm (70 cm + 10 cm + 5 cm).
On our website, for all aerial hoops, we will always refer to the outside diameter.
With this method, you'll be sure not to hit your head on the top of the hoop when you're seated. If you're teaching students of varying heights, remember to check that they can't bump 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 two attachments for swinging. The frame has three holes (visible in the photos); depending on your setup, the spacing will be either 50cm or 55cm. We have included some example photos of the attachments.
If you use a single hook, it is possible that the hoop may rotate slightly on itself (even if you do not use a pivot), to prevent this, fix it at two points.

What are the conditions for installing an aerial hoop?
We need height:
To install a hoop, you'll need a minimum ceiling height of 4 meters. The hoop itself won't necessarily be 4 meters high, but you'll need sufficient clearance both above and below it. Any installation with less than 4 meters of clearance will lead to frustration and severely limit the use of the equipment. Imagine yourself hanging from the hoop; you need significant space below it. Now imagine yourself standing on the bottom of the hoop; you also need space above you. Adding a swinging motion to the hoop requires even more space. Without the necessary clearance, you'll end up with a hoop that functions much like a seesaw.
Dynamic vs. static:
Remember that a moving body can weigh up to three times the mass of a stationary body. When you're on an aerial hoop, you're a moving body. A harness that can withstand your mass when stationary (static) won't be sufficient.
Home installation for private individuals:
Your life, or your child's life, will depend on a hoop. Don't neglect its installation.
Securing an aerial hoop is not something to be improvised. Consult a rigging specialist, an architect, or a mason. In our discussions with some novice clients, they suggest using punching bag mounting plates. These plates are designed to hold 30 to 50 kg to the ceiling. The mass of a person in motion (dynamic) can be up to three times their mass in a static position. Never use this type of plate; an accident is guaranteed. Every building has a unique structure with its own specific strengths and materials. One of the best solutions, requiring the least technical expertise, is to use a ring sewn around a substantial beam. Again, consult a specialist.
Fixation in a professional setting:
Do not install anchor points without having a study and installation carried out by professionals.
Delivery outside the EU
For deliveries outside the European Union, additional shipping charges may apply. Our website cannot calculate these charges; please contact us so we can provide you with a shipping quote.
Information on returns and exchanges of aerial hoops
We have noticed that many customers order aerial hoops without taking the time to read the description or advice on choosing the right size.
In case of a sizing error, you will be responsible for all return and shipping costs for a replacement hoop. Please note that these costs can be high, as an airline hoop exceeds standard carrier dimensions.
To avoid any inconvenience, please don't hesitate to contact us before your purchase if you have any questions. Our team is easily reachable by phone (which is rare these days!) , and we'll be happy to advise you.

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.
