Question 1

Is there a smaller version of this available? Is there a way to reduce the amount of beams when putting together to not make it as tall and as wide?

Accepted Answer

I made some custom legs that lowered the heigh by 1 foot for a total of 7 foot 10 inches. Here's a material list:
I bought qty four of 22" sections of 1 3/16" 6061 aluminum round stock which has an OD of 1.187" where as the 30mm has and OD of 1.180". It has a slightly tighter fit which reduces the flex. That will be drilled and tapped to M8x1.25 threads with 20" between centers. That matches the existing tubes that have 7/8" holes from the end of the tubing.

Question 2

What type of material is the stand made of?

Accepted Answer

Hi - It is made from rock-solid aluminum alloy material.

Question 3

How wide is the top bar? I am concerned that I may hit the legs stretched out horizontallly when using aerial hoop or silks.

Accepted Answer

It is 1 meter, but ... you are not hanging right under the top bar, you are positioned mostly midway below, and the range of motion is way more than a normal full "hanuman" stretch of the legs of any normal person.

Question 4

How could I attach a swing so it does slide around on the pole?

Accepted Answer

If you choke a very short span set or hand loop (available from circus equipment suppliers like aerial essentials or firetoys) it doesn't slide. That's how I set it up. Please keep in mind that choking the material does reduce the rating so it cannot hold as much weight, so it's important to buy quality materials and make sure the rating is high enough. To choke the loop, lay the loop over the top bar, then pull one end of the loop through the other and pull until it's tight. I've also had success using sling loops wrapped multiple times around until I could clip the carabiner through both ends very close to the bar. Also FYI, make sure all of your carabiners are high quality and either autolocking or screw gate. A lot of yoga swings come with very cheap, unsafe carabiners. I would NOT recommend this for setting up a regular swing set.
