![]() Our Aerial Yoga Hammocks are top quality - you will feel the difference. We recommend starting with the Yoga Hammock Set if you're new, because it is easiest to start with! All of our gear is professional quality, certified and tested for aerial strength. Uplift Active is owned and operated by aerial professionals - our experts are here to help you find the right equipment and set up for your needs. Not particularly portable (wood is heavy, and the long pieces generally require a truck).From aerial fitness, to performing arts, to therapy, we are here to help you in your aerial journey. Requires some technical knowledge and do-it-yourself-ism for initial set-up. Very sturdy feeling, with little to no wiggle.Ĭan have quite a large space interior space that allows for moves like spinning while extended, depending on the lengths of wood used.Ĭan be durable enough to leave set up outside. The swingset corners are just $79 per pair (no information on SWL is provided). Cost to get the lumber to complete the set-up should be less than $100. We recommend that you limit the weight to 400 pounds on a good serviceable 10 foot long 4x4.”Ĭost: Bonds of Steel corners are $400. Safe working load: Bonds of Steel states: “Our brackets will hold 2000 pounds, but they can only be as strong as the quality of 4x4 that you provide. There are several “official” kink ones from Bonds of Steel, or actual swingset ones such as the ones from Eastern Jungle Gyms They generally offer shorter variations, but it’s for sure something to be aware of. In some low-ceiling spaces, the standard leg lengths of these frames do not fit, and the leg height is not adjustable. Note that I’m tall and like to spread out – this could be a non-issue for a smaller human, suspension that doesn’t involve extended shapes, and/or folks who don’t like to spin.īe sure to note your ceiling height. For example, if I'm in an inversion, I cannot extend my legs and spin without them hitting the legs of the frame. The narrowness of the legs limits available movement. Tends to have some movement/wiggle – in my experience, the Bonds of Steel tripods have a bit less of this than the Tetruss. Bonds of Steel: $1200 (comes with extended top). According to the maker of Tetruss gave me an estimated breaking strength of 1800 - 2000lb.Ĭost: Tetruss: $489 for the basic tripod, $450 extra for (necessary imo) extended top upgrade. Safe working load, per manufacturer: Both of the above frames list a SWL of 300lbs. Option 4: Tripod style frames like the Tetruss (for suspension, the “Maxximus Top” is basically a requirement) or Bonds of Steel This option is pretty much limited to folks who own their houses (or have a wonton disregard for getting back their security deposits). Even if hanging a point looks simple, for example if you have exposed beams, it should still be structurally assessed. ![]() Finding someone qualified can be difficult, and it is generally very expensive. This requires extensive knowledge (structural engineering, rigging, etc). There is no way around it – you *must* hire an experienced professional to install a point. Maximizes height and surrounding space, allowing for a full range of extended positions while spinning and so on. Portability scale (0 = impossible to transport, 10 = as easy to transport and set up as I think it's possible to be): 0 ![]() Mine cost over 2k to have installed.īreaking strength & working load: Varies and will need to be assessed on an individual basis, by an expert. Option 1: Install a hardpoint in your homeĬost: Variable. Moves like drop lifts where the lifter is outside the footprint, or very dynamic movement, can capsize frames. Note that of the portable frames included here, only the second option would be considered adequate by most aerial standards (10:1 safety ratio).Įspecially with any relatively lightweight, smaller frames, it's crucial to be mindful of staying within the footprint of the frame. Where I have information from the manufacturer on the working load and/or breaking strength, I have included that. It is based on my experience primarily as a self-suspender and an event producer (moving and setting up various frames). This is my rundown of recommendations and comparison of different suspension frames for rope bondage, including the pros and cons of different options. At some point in your rope suspension journey, you may crave the ability to do rope at home, and be looking at options for home hardpoints or frames. ![]()
