slackwire rigging

Slackwire can be rigged in a variety of situations, both indoors and outdoors, combining the excitement, drama, height and thrill of wire-walking and aerial arts with relatively minimal rigging requirements.

I will provide two a-frame structures as well as the necessary equipment to rig the slackwire to common types of anchor points.


General requirements of the space:

1. Flat, level playing space 25 ft wide and 10 ft deep (5 ft of clearance on either side of the rope). 

2. Two sturdy anchor points at or near ground level, at least 30 ft (up to ~60 ft) apart, capable of supporting a load of at least 1,000 lb each.

The slackwire can be rigged using pre-existing structures including trees, posts, structural beams, etc. and additionally weights (concrete, water, etc.) capable of supporting a load of at least 1,000 lb each may be used.

Ask me about human-anchored slackwire for venues that lack ground anchor points! Requirements are a flat, level playing space and six adults who can sit for the duration of the slackwire act.

If your space doesn't exactly meet the requirements listed above, please feel free to contact me for further information and to discuss the specific needs of your venue.
