She opted for a custom matte black powder coated finish on her truss because she knew she didn’t love the look of aluminum. She had a very specific vision for her space (very moody and sultry!) and knew that matte black would be the only way to go. We are so glad she cho ..read more

WHY CHOOSE A CUSTOM TRUSS STRUCTURE FOR YOUR AERIAL ARTS RIGGING? There are numerous compelling reasons to choose a custom truss structure for your aerial arts rigging needs. One of the most common reasons our clients opt for a truss structure is the limitations posed by their studio spaces and buildings. When retail spaces are unavailable or too expensive, studio owners often turn to large warehouses. However, these warehouses are not always equipped to handle the dynamic loads associated with aerial arts. Another emerging trend in pole and aerial studios is that they are often housed within ..read more
