Aerial Silks
FR Sports aerial silks for ambitious training, teaching and performance. Choose the PRO Aerial Silk in the length and colour that suit your available rigging height.
We do not manufacture our own aerial silks. The silks offered here are manufactured by FR SPORT GROUP Sp. z o.o. and sold by us as a specialist retailer.
Choosing the right aerial silk
The FR Sports PRO Aerial Silk is made from 100% polyester and is available in several lengths and colours. The correct length primarily depends on the usable distance between the anchor point and the floor, together with the amount of fabric you want to have on the floor.
| Silk length | Recommended room height |
|---|---|
| 8 m | approx. 3–3.5 m |
| 10 m | approx. 4–4.5 m |
| 12 m | approx. 5–5.5 m |
| 16 m | approx. 7–7.5 m |
| 18 m | approx. 8–8.5 m |
As a guide, FR Sports recommends twice the room height plus a total of 1 to 4 m of additional fabric. Remember to account for the length of the rigging system.

Safety and rigging
An aerial silk is only as safe as its complete rigging system. The anchor point, silk mount, connectors and any swivel must be suitable for the intended application and installed by a competent person.
- Read the manufacturer's instructions in full before first use
- Inspect the silk and rigging before every training session
- Immediately remove damaged silks from service
- Always use a suitable crash mat
- Learn new techniques only under competent instruction
