Rigging is a complicated topic that requires specific knowledge. Many members of our team have completed rigging courses and can give general advice about what to buy, but we can't see the space in person and we can't load test the area you want to rig in. Because of this, it would be dangerous for us to provide you with installation equipment and we will always recommend you speak to a professional rigger or structural engineer. 

If you would like to know more about home installation, see our blog on Installing Aerial Equipment at Home

The length of the strop depends on the supporting structure height and the height you would like your aerial apparatus from the floor. A simple calculation is;
total height - (equipment + rigging + crash mat) - free space = strop length
For more rigging info see our blogs

To find the right aerial silk length for you, begin by measuring the length from the rigging point to the ground. Then times this by 2 as we measure our fabric by its full length. Then finally add 1 metre for the rigging point loss and 2 metres so there is a little extra tail on the ground. The total should then be a suitable length of silk for you.
See our blog on Rigging Aerial Silks for more information.

Figuring out what size aerial hoop you should get comes down to experience, your body proportions, what tricks you like to do and personal preference.

We recommend measuring yourself using our handy guide here.

We have certificates of conformity available for all our aerial products. Send us an email with the names of the certificates you need.

The majority of our products come without rigging which you will need to buy separately, this. Some products do come with basic rigging i.e shackle hoops with shackles, hammocks with O rings. Products will state on their listing if they include rigging. We do offer a rigging bundle with our Firetoys aerial hammocks.

For the majority of our aerial products, we recommend a maximum usage of 500 hours or 5 years, whichever comes first. We provide usage log books with our apparatus to help track this. It is important to inspect the equipment regularly. If they show signs of wear before either time frame is up you should remove them from use.

Most diabolos are sold without string or sticks, which are both needed. however we have a range of diabolo sets available as well, that bundle together handsticks, diabolo string, and handy carry bags

A good place to start is to measure from your palm to the inside of your shoulder crease. This will be a good starting length for learning most tricks. A longer string will cause the poi to move slower. If the string is too long it's easier to lose control and get tangled. For more technical moves, like the buzzsaw, a shorter length is suitable.

This depends on what style of staffing you like. For contact staff, we recommend longer lengths and heavier weights. A good starting measurement for this is to measure from the floor to about chin height.

If you prefer more spinning and throwing, a shorter length would be more suitable. This is more down to preference though a lighter staff is generally best for these moves.

This depends on the intensity of practice regularity of usage and even the brand of string. High throws and catches might weaken the string more than smaller technical tricks. On average, practising one hour a day, a string may last around 2-3 weeks before needing replacing.

There are 2 main ways of measuring the right string length for you. Either cut your string to be slightly shorter than your wingspan (the distance between your hands) or slightly shorter than the distance between your toes and your nose (or chin). This should allow you to hold the string and sticks far enough apart to make the string go taut which will help to catch Diabolos.

We have a blog about this here!

Funnily enough, we also have a blog for that here!
