Aerial hoop 85 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.
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?
The diameter of your aerial hoop is chosen according to your height. When you sit on the hoop, there should be 10cm of flapping space above your head. 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'll be sure not to hit your head on the top of the hoop while sitting. If you're teaching students of varying heights, remember to check that they can't hit their heads before you begin :-).
On our site for all aerial hoops we will always talk to you about the outside diameter.

Guide to Hitting an Aerial Hoop
Attachment system:
One ring is sold individually. You will need to purchase the aerial hoop attachments separately. Use one attachment for static use and/or 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 rigging specialist, 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.
To avoid any inconvenience, please do not hesitate to contact us before your purchase if you have any doubts. Our team is easily reachable by phone (which is rare these days!) , and we will be happy to advise you.

Hello, I have a ceiling height of 3.60 m (ceiling beam). How far apart should I install my hoops and, above all, what equipment do I need? Sling, swivel, carabiner? Thank you.
Good morning,
With a ceiling height of 3.60 meters , it will unfortunately be difficult to practice comfortably with the aerial hoop, because this represents a fairly limited height.
You will be forced to use:
– above the hoop if it is installed low,
– or below the hoop if it is hung higher.
On the other hand, a complete practice including movements above, inside and below will not be possible under these conditions.
If you still want to install a hoop in a room with low ceiling height, it would be better to opt for a system that allows you to easily adjust the height of the hoop as needed.
Regarding the type of hook and the equipment required, I am not able to give you specific advice without more information on:
– the nature of your ceiling ,
– the type of anchor point that exists or can be put in place in your space.
👉 To benefit from personalized support , I invite you to contact us by email. We will then be able to discuss in more detail the equipment adapted to your configuration.
⚠️ A little clarification: we do not specialize in building structures. Our recommendations will therefore only be based on the anchor point you have or plan to use 🙂.
Thank you for understanding.
Hello, what material are your aerial hoops made of please?
The aerial hoops are made of steel with an anti-corrosion treatment.
Good morning,
I have a ceiling height of 4.88m, what size sling do I need?
Thank you in advance for your reply.
Hello, I would like to install a wooden beam with shoes on each side in my garage to use my hoop.
I would like to know what thickness you recommend for the beam?
Is 10x10 cm enough or should I go for the 15x15 cm model above?
Thank you in advance for your feedback.
Good morning, Thank you for your message. To answer your question about installing your hoop, here is some important information to consider. The beam clamps we offer are designed for beams measuring 10 cm x 14 cm. These dimensions are therefore perfectly suited to this type of beam section. If you opt for a 10 cm x 10 cm beam, it may be a little thinner than what is needed for an overhead anchor. Furthermore, it's essential that your anchor point can withstand a load of approximately 1 ton. This estimate takes into account not only a person's static weight, but also the additional forces generated by movement, swinging, and tricks, including those involving controlled falls. Even for a person of low mass, these forces can quickly reach several hundred kilograms. In summary, to ensure the safety and stability of your installation, I advise you to opt for a beam with a slightly wider section, such as 10 cm x 14 cm, to ensure sufficient strength. I remain at your disposal if you have any further questions or if you need help finalizing your project. Sincerely, Matthew
Good morning,
I would like to install a hoop in my garden for training. I don't have the space or sufficient ceiling height to install it indoors. In my garden, there are no branches or beams of sufficient strength, so I was wondering about a self-supporting structure. The ones presented on your site are clearly intended for professional use; I wasn't considering a height greater than 4m for the frame. Do you have any indications?
Thank you for your feedback
We only offer professional equipment for this type of outdoor installation. The overhead gantry we offer can be mounted at various heights. See the description of the aerial gantry , there are mentioned the different adjustable heights, there is a height close to the one you want at 4.2 meters high. The problem with most existing amateur structures is that they are often unstable and do not always meet the standards and strength requirements for professional use. The safety of the people who use them is at stake.
Good morning,
Can the hoop be attached to the ceiling? Is there any risk of it coming loose under the weight?
Thank you.
For ceiling mounting, your ceiling mount must be able to withstand at least 1 ton of pressure. If you want to install this type of mounting, I recommend contacting an approved organization, an architect, or a mason. You must consider the weight of the person in motion, not the weight of the person in a static position. One of the best mounting solutions is to attach the device to a load-bearing beam. Please do not hesitate to call us for more information.
Good morning
How much should I allow between each hoop?
Sincerely
Marion
Spacing between two aerial hoops
The manufacturer and practicing professionals recommend a minimum spacing of 2 meters. For optimal comfort, some recommend a spacing of 2.5 meters.
The most important thing is the strength of the beam or structure that will support the hoop attachments. Load calculations are required for this.
Use of aerial hoops in a professional environment
If it is to accommodate the public, it is mandatory to go through a safety commission. They will be able to make these calculations based on the information you give them (weight of people, maximum number of people suspended at the same time, weight of equipment).
