Our Silks are sold PER yard, please make sure to read below to be sure you order the correct length.

"A minimum order of 6 yards is required. "

High quality aerial fabric that can stretch in both directions and provides a great bounce for larger drops and skills. Usually used by professionals due to the extra stretch, but can also be used by beginners. This fabric is more expensive than the normal fabric that can stretch only on one direction.

To know the length of Silk required, you need to take the expected usable length (example: 5 meters), double it and add one (1) extra meter.  Why? Because a Silk is always doubled, so that two strings are hanging from the top ring. So for 5 meters long, you would need 11 meters of silk. Always better to have a bit more than less, since the knot on top will shorten the silk about 1/2 meter so we always add an extra meter.  In order to calculate the amount of Yards take your Total Meters X 1.09 = Yards

Additional Suggested Accessories

Here are the additional accessories and their meaning ( all them are listed below in suggested rigging options)

Ring to Attach the Silk to a Rigging Point

This is the common method to hang the silk. Using a choking method (see this video example below which is a good example)

In the below video she passes it over the top of the Rescue 8. For a forged ring, you do the same but until it is UNDER the ring.

Carabiner and Swivel Kit:

A must have between your silk and any hanging point.

Swivel S2 L: 

A must have between your Anchor Loop and Carabiner holding the Silk if you have a fixed set up.

5/8 Shackle:

If you want to fix a point to a beam, a Tubular Webbing Anchor Loop, looped around a beam with a Shackle at the bottom, holding a Swivel and Carabiner is your best bet. Then you need:

  • 1 x Tubular Webbing Anchor loop (make sure to protect it from Abrasion if around a beam)
  • 1 x 5/8 Shackle
  • 1 x S2 L - Swivel
  • 1 x C2 AB - Carabiner
