MY rig does not need guy wires or stakes into the
ground as long as it is NOT used for swinging.
If you are in a HIGH wind
area, it would be a good idea to use guy wires if rig is set up long term and
un-attended.
Can be set up on pavement,
asphalt , streets, indoors, Grass, Sand(with 2'x2'plywood foot pads) etc.
Can be set up
to various height choices
Determined by how many leg section you chose
to put on during set-up.
All rigs can be set up to its lowest height of about
7ft all the way
up to 20 ft high with extension feet fully extended,
in 6" increments
.
Meaning that, if you buy a 16-20 ft rig you can
chose to set it up as low as 7-ft up to 20-ft .
The extension feet which have 6 inch
increments,
There are a total of about 20 different height that the ONE rig can be set
up too.
Quad rig:
Consisting of a 4 leg design with of 4ft header, up to three 6ft leg sections
per corner.
Comes with: Adjustable extension feet, straps with 4 clips, set screw,
wrench,
and all
hardware needed to set up.
Tripod rig: Consisting of 3 leg design with up to three 6ft leg sections
per corner.
Comes with: Adjustable extension feet, chain or straps with 3 clips, set screws,
wrench,
and all
hardware needed to set up.
Note, since a TRI-POD only has 3 legs vs. 4 legs
on a Quad,
a tri-pod rig can only handle 3/4 the load of a Quad rig.
Set-up is only
about 20 minutes, even less once you get good at it.
For a
quad rig, usually fairly strong 2 people to lift, one not so strong to
insert a leg section.
Great for Single,
Double Trapeze, Fabric, Lyra, Corde Lisse, Limited Spanish Web etc.
NOT for SWINGING trapeze, see
following note. Moderate swinging
activities are possible as long as the swing
does NOT go beyond the legs. The rig can be guyed out using just 2
cables and then will allow for a little more swinging.
Aerial Dance Performers:
This
might be your solution to places where you can't use tie down guy
wires.
Can be set up to various height by just choosing which and how many leg
segments to use.
Header is set up to allow for single point suspension like fabric, and 2
point suspension like a trapeze bar.
The header also has hookup points for safety lines & pulleys, and for
equipment hoisting cables and pulleys.
Aerial Yoga:
This rig when set up at 11.5ft and with 6ft header allows you to have 2
participants on a rig at same time.
Great for setting up in a park, giving your aerial Yoga classes exposure to
the public.
One thought, buy a 21 ft rig for aerials, with an extra
header and extra feet. Then you can use the legs from the 21 ft rig with the
extra header and feet to set up 2 low rigs for aerial YOGA.
History and
INTENT of my rigs.
.
When I first started making rigs ( about 2001 ) there were very few if any portable rigs
available.
The ones that were available were very expensive and cost unjustifiable to
the average performer,
or for someone just wanting a rig to practice on.
These other rigs were made by Bobby Bates and Trevor. Both make outstanding rigs and I
often refer them
to people for whom my rigs are not the right ones for their application.
My intent was to make a low cost simple rig
for the average aerial enthusiast.
No frills, no exotic materials.
And can be carried in cars and pick-up
trucks. See photo bellow.
Since then , it turns out, many professional
performers and performing troupes have
started using and preferred my rigs after all.
Thanks.
Because of that, I have changed my designs a little bit to accommodate this
with nicer paint jobs, and a few misc. features.
The Quad (4 leg) design vs. a Tripod (3 leg) ,
On the Quad, the user of a single or double trap does not wind up with
having one rig leg
right in front of or behind them as is with the tripod, preventing even the smallest of swings.
With the quad, you wind up with 2 legs to one side and 2 legs on other side
of you.
A TRIPOD consideration .
Since a TRIPOD only has 3 legs vs. 4
legs,
it can only handle a weight load of 3/4 that of a QUAD rig.
Benefits of Tri-Pod, less parts to transport and much easier set-up.
Cons:A tripod
comes to a relative narrow point at top, about 1 ft across.
This means that as you work high up in the rigs the legs get close together
and can interfere with the performance.
Therefore you would tend to have to do you maneuvers several feet below the
top, meaning you
might need to get a slightly taller rig for the same performing height as a
quad.
Some tripods have large triangular headers to avoid this, but that results
in difficulty transporting the tripod header.
.
Small, easy to transport,
longest piece is only 6ft 5inch. click photo for larger

Not any space left for a passenger in the MINI, but they got it

Disclaimer
Aerials and the use of aerial
rigging is an extremely hazardous activity.
The activity of aerial sports as
trapeze, web, fabric, hoop etc. is a thrill seeking,
daredevil type of activity.
It is extremely hazardous and should be approached with this in mind.
When doing these activities you are willfully risking life & limb.
The use of, and the erection and lowering/disassembly of a rig is a very dangerous
activity as well.
The manufacture cannot determine how the equipment will be used or abused,
mis-used or proper set up proceedures followed, or proceedures missed such
as forgeting to tighten bolts/screws
Therefore: Damnhot, Ludwig Goppenhammer and the manufacturer takes
no
responsibility for safety of this equipment.
The USER (you) , knowing the
extreme nature of this endeavor, assumes all responsibility.
If the user is not willing to assume the risks associated with this sport
and activity and any high risk activity,
then the user should not engage in the sport and the
use of this or any aerial equipment,
and should find a more benign activity
to participate in.
NEVER, EVER tie aerial fabric to the
upright legs of a free standing rig
for storage or to get it out of the way, when rig is set up outdoors where wind is possible.
The fabric turns into a big sail and will easily tip the rig over, possibly
on spectators or bystanders. Not funny, has actually happened to someone
with the old heavy rig. That fabric puts out a LOT of power in the wind.
If you must store the fabric on rig momentarily then twist fabric tight, wrap around leg and secure so wind can't catch it.
 Even
this way is dangerous if enough wind comes.
This is where Pulley Systems come in handy.
