90cm 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.
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 is chosen according to your height. When you're sitting on the hoop, there should be 10cm of clearance above your head. You can take this measurement while sitting on a chair (e.g., if the height between the chair and your head is 70cm, then you'll need an aerial hoop with an inner diameter of 80cm). If you're buying for a circus school where several people will be using the same hoop, this clearance can vary slightly and be up to 15cm.
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 :-).
On our website, for all aerial hoops, we will always refer to 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 use 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 only one attachment point, the hoop may rotate slightly (even if you don't use a swivel). To prevent this, attach 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.

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.

Hello 😊
We would like to buy a hoop for our daughter to hang on the roof joists. What equipment should we bring in addition to the hoop, please?
Thank you for your reply.
Good morning,
In previous comments, I read that the hoop weighed 1kg650. I think that's a mistake, right? Most of the hoops I've found weigh between 6 and 10kg, I think. Can someone point me in the right direction, please?
Indeed, there was a weight error. The weight of a 90cm diameter hoop is 4.4kg.
Good morning,
For a duo, what size hoop do you recommend? For solo play, we use 90cm, but for a duo, should we go bigger?
THANKS!
There's no set rule for a hoop size to use for a duet. Generally, duet performers use 110 aerial hoops, mainly to give themselves a little more space when there are two of them in the hoop. It will depend on the tricks you're going to perform in the hoop.
How heavy is the hoop?
Good morning,
The weight of the hoop is 4.4 kg
