Common bookings: photo and video shoots, festivals and community events, hens parties, brand activations, film and TV, and multi-week backyard training hires between term blocks.
Planning your space: the five things to check.
Answer these before you enquire and your quote comes back faster — but if you don't know, send photos of the space and we'll work it out with you.
Ground
A level footprint of roughly 6 × 6 m. Grass, concrete and indoor floors all work — slopes and soft, waterlogged ground need discussing first.
Height
The rig stands 6.4 m tall. Outdoors that's rarely an issue; indoors it needs a genuinely tall venue — warehouses, halls and atriums, not living rooms.
Overhead
Nothing above the rig zone: no branches, powerlines, awnings or low beams. Walk the spot and look up before you book.
Access
The rig arrives in sections by vehicle. A driveway, loading dock or gate wide enough for the parts makes delivery smooth — stairs and lifts need a heads-up.
Weather plan
For outdoor events: wind and rain limits apply, and we make the final safety call on the day. Have a covered fallback or a flexible schedule and you'll never lose the booking.
Not sure about any of these?
Send photos with your enquiry. Assessing sites is part of the service — that's what hiring from a professional rigger buys you.
Check availability for your date
Send the date, suburb and what you're planning. You'll get availability and a firm quote back — usually the same day.
Aerial rig hire questions
How tall is the rig, and what space does it need?
The rig stands 6.4 m tall. Allow a level footprint of roughly 6 × 6 m with clear overhead space — we confirm exact clearances for your site when you enquire, and we assess the surface (grass, concrete, indoor floor) before rigging.
What can be rigged from it?
Aerial silks, lyra/hoop, aerial hammock and straps. If you're hiring apparatus as well as the rig, say so in your enquiry and we'll include it in the quote.
Is it suitable for outdoor events?
Yes — the photo on this page is the actual rig at an outdoor event. Wind and weather limits apply for safety, and we make the final call on the day. We'll talk through a wet-weather plan when you book.
What's the difference between wet and dry hire?
Wet hire means we deliver, rig, safety-check and pack down — most events and shoots choose this. Dry hire means you collect and rig it yourself, and is only offered to people with genuine rigging experience. Prices are confirmed as a written quote before anything is paid.
Can a performer come with the rig?
Yes. Veronica is a professional aerialist with over a decade of stage experience — rig-plus-performer is a popular booking for events, launches and film shoots.
Which areas do you cover?
Melbourne and surrounds. For regional Victoria, ask — it usually comes down to dates and delivery distance.
