How to Hang/Rig Your Silk?
Plumb line - vertical line in space that goes directly from the middle of your rigging in a straight line towards the ground. You can also think of it as the line in space where the fabric hangs loosely.
Mounting to the ceiling: 1 or 2 rings with bolts/points.
- Strength of bolt 10 mm. Length of ring with bolt – 16 cm.
- Distance between rings 25 – 30 cm, may be up to 40 cm (shoulder/hips width). Ensure that bolts are securely fastened to the ceiling.
- Make sure, that the ceiling is strong enough to hold an adult.
- You can use TRX mounting.
Hanging on the beam: 1 or 2 daisy chain (length 90 cm), wrapped around the beam and aerial yoga silk is hooked with carabiner.
Preparing the aerial yoga silk: with 2 loops - safety sling (length 60 cm)
Find the edge of the silk and fold it equally in your hand and then take the sling and wrap it 2-3 times around one folded end of the silk. Tighten the wrapping.
Distance around plumb line:
- To the sides – at least 120 cm.
- Behind and in front of the silk – at least 130cm.
- Between the silks – at least 80 cm.
- The more you leave space between the walls and silks, the more students will feel comfort. For the widest position such as Turbine circle is needed 180 – 200 cm radius.
Aerial Safety:
Your safety is very important! We recommend that you regularly inspect your aerial rig setup before use for wear and tear / damage. Possible damage could include:
- Fraying on daisy chains / rescue loops - Can be caused by hanging on rough objects such as concrete or trees.
- Damage to silk itself
- Carabiners used incorrectly.
- Ceiling mounts becoming loose.
- Not exceeding maximum weight in the aerial silk.
