Description Vivid Colors: Watch the video to see the vibrant colors of these silks in action! In the video above, you can get a better view of the silks’ color. For a brighter and more elastic fabric ideal for performances, check out our On-Stage Aerial Silks. How Much Fabric Do You Need? To determine the length of fabric you’ll need, double the height of your ceiling or structure where you plan to hang the silks, and add two meters. For example, if your ceiling is 5 meters high, you’ll need 12 meters of aerial silk. For performance drops, a minimum of 14 meters is recommended to allow for hanging from a 6-meter height. Please note: The listed size is the total length of the silk. Since aerial silks are rigged from the center, the usable length is slightly less than half the total. Key Features: Tested for up to 1000 kg static weight load for superior safety. Medium stretch (7-15%) – Excellent for drops. Non-slip textured surface for a secure grip. Attractive sheen. Made in Spain with non-toxic materials. Rigging kit is not included but can be purchased separately in our Accessories section. We also offer Aerial Silk Kits and Pro Kits with a figure eight and optional swivel. Safety Information: Our fabrics are rigorously tested by an external team and can withstand a static load exceeding 1000 kg. Important Note: While this fabric’s non-slip texture and durability make it ideal for aerial acrobatics and children’s hammocks, its medium stretch is not suitable for adult aerial yoga hammocks. If you need fabric for an adult aerial yoga hammock, please see our Aerial Silks for Hammocks section. These silks have very low stretch and are 2.5 meters wide. Regularly inspect your silks for signs of wear and tear, paying particular attention to the areas where they connect to the figure eight or beam. Proper installation minimizes pressure on the fabric, extending its lifespan. For optimal performance and safety, use a large horned figure eight or our Pro Kit when hanging the silks. These distribute tension more evenly and reduce friction. Never hang the fabric directly on a hook or carabiner. We recommend using the figure eight with horns or our Pro Kit for classes, regular use, and drops. Regularly inspect the material for tears, regardless. We cannot replace used materials that are damaged. Many factors, including certain drops and improper installation, can damage the fabric even if it’s high quality. Remember, no installation method is foolproof. Regularly check your silks and replace them if damaged, just like any other equipment used for climbing or working at heights. Installation Tips: When hanging from a ceiling (without an exposed beam), you’ll likely need a climbing eight, a carabiner (or our aerial silk kit that includes both), and a securely installed hook in the ceiling. Ensure the hook and screws are suitable for your ceiling type, and avoid using screws for installation. Always have a qualified person install your aerial silks. They should be mounted on the building’s support structure, never on a false ceiling. Protect the fabric by placing a towel between it and the beam if hanging directly from a beam. Avoid prolonged sun exposure as it can weaken the material.
