Classic Kit Pro Aerial silks and accessories

Description In this video you can appreciate better the colour of the aerial silks: If you prefer a different kind of fabric, brighter and more elastic, great for the performances, please check out our On-Stage aerial silks for performances. How to calculate the length of the fabric you need? The length of fabric should be the double of the ceiling height or structure where you are going to hang it, plus two metres. So if your ceiling is 5m high you will need 12 m of Aerial silks. To performance drops, you might need a minimum of 14 metres so you can hang it from 6 meters height. If you need a length that does not appear in the options do not hesitate to contact us. Features of Classic aerial silks: Width: 160 cm – 63 inches Length: what you need. For use in the trees we recommend a standard size of at least 12-14 meters. Plot: non-slip for an  excellent grip (great for beginners) Approximate density: 200 g / m Elasticity: medium stretch (between 7 and 15%) Toxicity: no toxic, Made in Spain Material: 100% polyester Shine: medium-low The climbing eight with horns is very comfortable, it leaves the 2 parts of the silks open so you don’t struggle to open them when you are up there.  It’s bigger than the simple eight and this allows you to wrap our aerial silk around the figure 8 twice. There is also the possibility to buy the Classic kit pro with a swivel and 1 more carabiner  so you can spin with the silks. The swivel is made with compact and light forged Aluminium with ball bearings, for smooth rotation even under load. Safety: Our fabrics, manufactured in Spain, are tested and withstand more than 1200 kg of static load. The eight and climbing carabiner are homologated. Fabrics should be checked periodically for weakening and holes. At the time of inspection, check especially at the junction with the eight or beam where they are installed, as this is where the fabrics can suffer the most. By installing the fabrics and accessories correctly, the chances of damaging the fabric are minimized, since the pressure on the fabric is distributed over a larger surface area. By placing the fabric correctly on the large horned figure eight, the pressure is better distributed and the risk of friction is reduced. Compared to the simple eight, there is a larger contact surface and less risk of damaging the material. For this reason, the fabric should never be hung directly to a hook or carabiner. For classes and regular use with drops performances we recommend using the eight with horns correctly positioned or our Pro Kit, as it distributes the tensions better. Even so, the material should be checked periodically for possible tears. We do not change the material for damage once it has been used, as there can be many factors that can damage a fabric, even if it is used correctly. For example, certain drops can increase the risk of damage to the fabric, regardless of its resistance (which is tested regularly), but by friction that raises the temperature of the fabric. Also the way the accessories are installed can affect the integrity of the fabrics. However, no installation method guarantees 100 x 100 its integrity, so the material must be checked periodically and changed if there is any damage, just like any other material used for work at height or climbing. Installation: If you want to hang the aerial silks kit you should buy a hook for the ceiling at the hardware store as it is different depending on the type of ceiling. We recommend asking a specialist to do the installation, for your own security. If you want to hang the tissues to a beam or a branch of a tree we recommend to put a towel between the beam or branch and tissues to prevent the friction and protect the tissues.
