You must read the Aerial Fabric Acrobatics disclaimer in order to purchase our products.
fabric types and colors
- 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.
Please note that the color swatches on this site are only an approximation to the actual colors. Computer monitors vary in their rendering of colors, plus there is natural variation between dye lots and fabric suppliers.
We sell and use both kinds of fabric. We recently sent quite a few orders to Club Med, Greece, Seattle, Oklahoma, etc.
fabric manipulation
- We can dye fabric to a color of your choosing. However, we can handle only a maximum of 15 yards in a single batch. Be sure to use the link to select a color from the Pantone color charts. If you have a picture of the color you are looking for, you can email it to us for matching. The cost is a fixed $US 45 per batch.
- We can also strip fabric down to a width of your choosing. The cost of this is $US 1.00 per yard. Be sure to enter the full length of fabric to be stripped in the box.

books
Please allow 2 weeks delivery for all books. Shipping is $5 flat rate.
yoga stand
Our portable yoga stand is unique. We spent over a year researching, developing and testing it.
Dimensions:| Height | Width | Notes | |
|---|---|---|---|
| 8' model | 94" | 78" | Footprint of legs are either 6' 6" or can telescope out to 8' for stability when swinging. Weight of each section is under 15 pounds - total weight of unit is just under 100 pounds. |
| 10' model | 119" | 78" | Footprint of legs can telescope out to 10' for stability when swinging. The unit is shipped in sections with the longest being the top bar. It comes with fabric for a hammock, a center rigging point with eyebolt and a special tool to tighten the legs. |
All steel construction, painted black.
The stand is tested to a 240 pound person doing swinging and static poses and we recommend that the legs be fully extended for all swinging.
The Yoga stand takes 15 minutes to be assembled by one person of moderate strength. You will need a step ladder to put the top section in place. Each section of the stand weighs less than 15 pounds so it can be taken apart for transport.
Your stand comes with 6 yards of fabric for you to tie up a Yoga hammock. Please specify the color of fabric you prefer. You tie up the fabric with 3 half hitches (see the photo in the ordering section) and instructions for this knot are included along with assembly instructions.
The stand also comes with a center eyebolt that you can use to transform your static hammock into an aerial hammock. Be sure to order the aerial hammock hardware set separately (see ordering section above).
Shipping is by UPS ground. Please allow 2 weeks for manufacture and shipping of your stand. If you need expedited delivery or international delivery please contact us so we can calculate the additional shipping costs.
hoops
Shipping costs are the same as fabric. For domestic USA,
shipments are by UPS Ground with 4 day delivery.
For Lyra Hoop with two tab, hoop trapeze combination, or cross bar added
please contact Lynn for price. We can build to your specifications.
hand loop for hoops
This neoprene 12" hand loop is for lyra or single tab hoops. It has a locking slide that is hard to see in the picture, but allows the hand or foot to be held securely in the loop. We have found the neoprene is more comfortable than any other type of hand loop. $45 each; only in black.
rosin
Rosin helps gripping ability for those with smooth dry hands or who are doing aerial in a location with less humidity. The rosin is powdered and can be mixed with rubbing alcohol to improve stickiness. It is $5 for a 2 ounce bag (approx).
bungee cord and harness
Bungee cord is $1.50 per foot and is available in 100% stretch 12 mm and a stiffer stretch still 12 mm.
It cannot be left exposed to sunlight as the UV rays will deteriorate the bungees. Bungee harnesses are available;
please call or email Lynn for details.
hardware
We can also provide mounting hardware and equipment:
A hardware set consists of: a swivel, a rescue 8, and 2 carabiners. We sell only steel screw gate carabiners. 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.
The Rescue 8 pictured is available on a limited basis. Your order may come with a CMI Rescue 8 which is equally strong, but dark gray in color.
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 and packaging and handling
Our charges for shipping include labor costs for picking product and packaging it, as well as separate transactions with suppliers for sourcing many items. We wrap all these up into the one easy-to-understand shipping charge.
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.
returns policy
We fabricate many of these items to your order specifications so we do not offer returns for any item. We are totally happy to chat and email about your purchase beforehand so that any ambiguities can be worked out before you place the order.
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.
Please contact us directly if you are interested in custom items.
