You must read the Aerial Fabric Acrobatics disclaimer in order to purchase our products.

fabric types

• Recommended: Interlock fabric in 60 inch width (any length) - more muted surface. The interlock fabric stretches along the length and width. It is more stretchy when it is new. Over time it has less stretch, and so becomes more of a medium stretch with use.
  Stretch with colors: royal blue - least stretchy; red/purple - medium stretch; turquoise/orange - most stretch.
• Tricot fabric in 110 inch width (any length) - more surface sheen. Tricot fabric has stretch in only one direction, along the width. Therefore it has almost no stretch when used for aerial work. It is the better fabric for beginners as it takes less strength to climb. However, it is not as comfortable in wraps and for drops.
• The order form above lists the 31 most popular colors - you can see most of them in the panel on the left. However, we have over 120 different colors available. If you need one of the extended range of colors - please contact us directly to specify.

We sell and use both kinds of fabric. We recently sent quite a few orders to Club Med, Greece, Seattle, Oklahoma, etc.

hardware

We can also provide mounting hardware and equipment:
A hardware set consists of: a swivel, a rescue 8, and 2 carabiners. We use the aluminum screw gate carabiners for practice. They are equally strong to steel carabiners and our practice is to use steel screw gate carabiners for performances. We prefer screw gate to the auto lock carabiner. All carabiners, swivels, and rescue 8s must be inspected periodically for signs of wear or cracks.
We can assemble them all correctly to your fabric for $US45.

A span set is a polyester sling that can be wrapped around a truss or beam in a choker shape or draped over the beam in a U from which to hang the fabric. We protect the span set from the edge of the beam or truss with padding to prevent any movement from potentially cutting into the span set itself. When rigging from a truss or beam, we always use 2 span sets for safety. Some performance spaces require the use of black rigging to be inconspicuous. Please specify black color if you need these, otherwise we'll ship whatever color is available.

We always check our rigging prior to every use. We have a high attention to safety and would recommend others be equally vigilant. For heaven's sake, don't rig fabric from tree branches - you never know how strong a branch is. If you have any questions about rigging safety, please contact us directly - we are available for rigging consultations. You must read our disclaimer before ordering hardware.

shipping

Shipping is done using US Postal Service. We will email your tracking number as soon as it ships. We do not send registered mail (that is, delivery does not require a signature). We do not insure for US or Canadian deliveries. We do insure for International deliveries.

• Expedited shipping is available but is typically twice as expensive. Please contact us directly if you need express shipment.

fabric care

Our fabric can be washed in a washing machine using warm water and a liquid detergent. An extra rinse cycle is advised. Our practice is to wash our fabrics once a month. We dry them in the dryer at a medium temperature.

all these changes!

In the interest of meeting the needs of our growing international customer base, we have made a few changes that will make ordering from us easier. Our prices have changed as a result. We no longer charge a separate handling fee and have one charge for shipping and handling. Also, our price per yard has gone up slightly, but now covers all costs associated with getting the fabric from our suppliers to us and covers the service fee for ordering on-line. In the past we had a lower price per yard, but the additional fees were then added to the total cost of the order.

We have included new colors for you to chose from. Custom dying is possible for an additional cost of $40 and only for orders of 16 yards or less. Stripping the Tricot fabric to less than 110" is possible as well for an additional $1 per yard.

Please contact us directly if you are interested in these custom items.
