How to Navigate Trapeze Arts: Equipment, Camps, and Contact

Trapeze Arts is a U.S.-based maker of custom circus equipment that also offers rigging, consulting, camps, and events. The site is organized around four main entry points — About, Circus Equipment Store, Bring the Circus to You!, and Contact — and you can reach the right one in a few clicks depending on whether you want to buy gear, book a program, or ask about a custom build.

Start With the Four Main Navigation Links

The homepage presents these top-level options:

If you already know your goal, skip straight to the matching link. If you're new to the site, About gives the quickest orientation.

Finding Equipment in the Circus Equipment Store

The store is the place to browse products. The site groups equipment into categories rather than listing everything on one page, so start at the store entry point and work through the categories that match your discipline.

Categories shown on the site include:

• Custom Flying Trapeze Rigs & Aerial Frames — professional-grade, built by hand in the United States and available to ship worldwide, with professional installation and maintenance available.
• Trapeze Bars — catcher, single, or double bars, with customizable colors, sizes, and attachments.
• Custom Made Trapeze Safety Belts — personalized fit, almost any color, and optional embroidery with a name or company name.
• Aerial Cubes and Hoops — designed for portability and accessibility.
• Flying Trapeze Components — custom-ordered or custom-made parts.
• Aerial Silks — tissues and silks in varying lengths and colors.
• Leather Hand Grips — custom-sized grips for catchers or flyers.

How to use it: open the store, pick the category closest to what you need, and read the product details for sizing and customization options. Because many items are made to order, expect to specify colors, sizes, or attachments rather than choosing from fixed stock.

Camps, Events, and Consulting

Camps and circus events live under Bring the Circus to You! — not in the equipment store. If your goal is a program, workshop, or event rather than a purchase, that's the link to follow.

Rigging and consulting are described as core services alongside equipment, camps, and events. The site doesn't break these into separate menu items, so the practical route for rigging, installation, or consulting questions is the Contact link, where you can describe your project.

When to Use Contact Instead of the Store

Reach out through Contact when:

• You need equipment, a rig, or an accessory that isn't listed in the store — the site states it can likely make custom items to your specifications.
• You want professional installation or maintenance for a rig or frame.
• You're planning a camp, event, or consulting engagement.
• You need help deciding between options, such as choosing aerial silks by length or color.

A Quick Navigation Path by Goal

• Buy standard gear → Circus Equipment Store → choose a category → review customization options.
• Commission something custom → Contact → describe specs and needs.
• Book a camp or event → Bring the Circus to You!
• Arrange rigging or installation → Contact.
• Learn about the company first → About.

One thing to keep in mind: because much of the catalog is custom-built, the store functions more as a starting point for a conversation than a fixed checkout list. If a category doesn't show exactly what you need, Contact is the intended next step rather than a dead end.
