I tried searching for an engineer as well but basically only big name companies that do $$$$$ projects came up. That is an idea I think there is a rock climbing gym in my area. Anyone who has installed in their home in a regular ceiling … Is it basically an eye bolt that’s installed and if necessary reinforced at top through the attic?

What makes a “good swivel”? Someone mentioned this is key above but I don’t recall seeing how you actually know what’s good or not – does it just need to be steel? Also so many people say to get a professional rigger but how the heck do you find them?? I’ve researched and googled extensively, also tried contacting a circus school, placed a wanted posting for this specifically but no luck. I basically am just going with a general contractor that’s coming out next week since that’s all I can find – is this ok or any advice?

I used to wax my legs but it was way too annoying to keep up with since growth is necessary. You might want to test it out first if you have time a couple months before since I remember my skin feeling much different afterwards for about a week. Different salons have different standards but depending on the type of wax used and/or any products they have to put on afterwards your grip may be affected in that time.

In a perfect world I would want a 50 to train spin grip and practice new advanced tricks with the rest of the body to get comfortable then use the 45 for actual routines and flow….and of course have every other pole option in this world 😂

I plan on getting the full silk fabric that can rig into a hammock like Lucca has mentioned. It seems like this will be the best way to incorporate everything like strength training, yoga, flexibility and also to get the most out of aerial performance type of hammock by having the full width (108″ I’m going with).That is a good idea to tie the ends into “handles” if you need them! Aerial empowerment is great at answering any questions (very quickly too) and I do plan to get the full set for convenience plus I’m sure I’d end up paying the same to ship individual pieces.

I got mine from Lowe’s (or maybe Home Depot?) and ended up getting a discount for a nick on the corner. But also Craigslist usually has a lot of listings if you’re open to the possibility of driving a farther distance. I just wish I would have thought more about where they actually had to go and have someone help hang them up bc they’ve been of little use to me leaning against the wall. Maybe if there is a large distance between the mirror and pole it would work leaning but I can’t see anything especially floorwork (just something to keep in mind since it can get pricey and they are heavier than they look)

I think good and bad is mentioned on here for both companies just based off people’s experiences…but I have read other on posts that xpole supports SV. The only reason I don’t purchase platinum is because Xpole accommodates different needs as far as height/location options without having to commit too much (like parts can be ordered if you need to move the pole and the current parts don’t work for the space). I would love a PS star standalone but can’t afford the price tag. As far as their customer service I can’t comment as I’ve only gone through xpole. I don’t at all care for xpole on the service level based on my experiences with them and seems like their website is always messed up plus missing things that should be in stock which is annoying. I love the lil mynx poles we use in our studio although we’ve had some issues with them lately (guess it’s just time to check up & adjust) but again can’t really comment on the service.

I know isn’t it awesome! I wish but I have to remind my imagination not to get ahead of the bank account 😂

I came across this website that has one when I was looking up stuff yesterday. They have cool apparatuses but looks like custom work so may cost an arm and a leg. http://bluechilliflying.com/aerial-store

Me! How much and any issues/reason for selling? I’ve tried the PS Stand alone stainless and liked it but can’t comment as far as continued use. I looovvee lil mynx stainless but most people might not like having to install the perm mount. I think xpole is usually best for in home use just for the fact it has the dome that generally won’t damage your ceilings. I’ve tried the chrome xpole and it seemed ok although I’ve heard the chrome can chip eventually?? I have a brass xpole and hate it!! Cannot stick at all no matter what but I suppose that’s just body chemistry (dry skin for me). Interesting to hear that xpole stainless is slippy…I was considering that one but will think twice.

The Veena pole from what I remember looks way easy to switch between static and spinning even while during a routine I think *i do not have this pole though so not sure*

Hi xpole thanks for clarifying about the edges. None of the aerial products including SiLKii (or the pole away) show up on the US website so I guess just have to call for those type of things? From the image on the AUS site, at first looked like needed two separate pieces of fabric to attach (which I guess could be an option?) but at closer look I see the girl is only using one side for a one point contact. Does this mean you could potentially attach two sets of fabric (like for two people) or is it only there for a hammock/double point connection?
Not sure if anyone else is interested but from my observation….
Pole aria or fabpole don’t look to have this option for two sets (if that’s even possible with SiLKii).
Aria looks like it will be about $200+shipping (this includes the attachments and fabric) for my ceiling height (over 10′). Fabric is black medium stretch with no other options. Wondering what the width is of this fabric so I could switch between uses of silks>hammock.
Fabpole gives options with or without fabric plus custom colors for additional charge. Looks like about $10 shipping added in the drop box price. So comparing apples to apples could save about $35+shipping here (or use towards a fancy color). Also says non & medium stretch fabric but no option in the drop box to choose a preference. And wondering about fabric width.
SiLKii is $120+shipping according to AUS site so not sure if this is accurate for US. Either way does not include fabric so probably a higher cost overall although if it allows for two sets of fabric could be something to consider for people who perform as doubles. And would ensure the user has their preference of fabric stretch/non, width and color.
PoleSilks seems like the most expensive (although could be similar to SiLKii depending on your choices there). Also am not a fan of the logo drawing attention if performing for instance. There are a few color options though (all priced the same).
This is just my out loud though process that maybe can be helpful to someone else in the same boat…if anyone can confirm or advise it is much appreciated!

Silkii looks like only in Australia and only for x-stage. Although shouldn’t it be the same pole (not sure why it says only xstage)? I did see the others you mentioned l’rue…wondering if the metal ones might eventually cause damage to the pole and if the rubber piece is as sturdy as the metal options since it uses velcro to attach? Thanks!

Is there any benefit of using neoprene vs the metal attachment? And can both be used on xpole
