Best Answer

A standard trapeze bar (as used in the majority of flying trapeze acts) is a 3 feet wide and 1" diameter steel bar, usually solid which weighs 5kg (11 lbs) it is usually wrapped in either cotton tape (held in place by double sided tape) or in a coarse tape such as elastoplast. There is a ring welded onto each end of the bar to attach the (usually) 12'6" - 6mm steel cables to it for the swing. A standard trapeze rig is 42 feet long with 26' between catcher & flyer and 16' between flyer and pedistal. The pedistal and flying main bars (crane bars) are rigged at the same height. The catchers crane bar is generally rigged two feet lower. Add this to the fact that the catchers trapeze bar cables are generally around 8'6" long and you have enough space for the flyer to peform his / her tricks in.
