To choose the length for your aerial hammock you can measure your hammocks out based on height of the rigging point. Usually it recommend for your hammocks to use a standard 7 yards of fabric, it's about 6.5 meters. Next you have to adjust the rig points higher or lower by using daisy chains or other means of adjustment.

To rig your hammock at home for trainings you may decide that you need only 4 yards of fabric, approximately 4 meters. The calculation really depends on your ceiling height and should be based on rigging points availability. But, even though it might seems a lot, it better to order 7 yards of fabric anyway, because you will have enough fabric to tie the knots required to safely rig your hammock.

You can choose two fabric types for your aerial performance - low stretch or stretch. For aerialist who just a beginners and have to practice with ceilings less than 13ft (about 4 meters), it's always better to work with low stretch fabric. You do not need medium stretch fabric if you just learning the aerial silks and you do not have high rig points.

With higher rigging points, higher ceilings you will begin working with longer drops and falls, roll ups, flyings, probably it's the time when you may prefer the medium stretch fabric, because it will give you a nice smooth bounce during performance.

You can choose for your aerial silks rigging autolocking or screwgate carabiners. It will not have any influence on performance and basically only your personal choice. But anyway it has several differences.

Any aerialist would say that screw gate carabiners are safer to rig and leave alone if you do not have to move your apparatus or detach your silks. Also they are strong, more secure because have fewer moving parts.

In most cases simply call the studio owner and ask for ceiling high. Performance organizers should contact responsible stage staff to find out for you the height to the bar, motor or beam from the stage. When you know your rig point height simply multiply it by two. You'll get the length your fabric needs to be.

But do not forget: it's necessary to add about 6ft (or two yards), it's approximately 1.8 meters, to the total length to allow for some fabric on the floor. It doesn't metter if you rig your fabric to the point with motor or without it, for training or performance - the silks must have some extra fabric on the floor at it's highest point. It will allow you to do wraps on the silks without running out the fabric.
