How Much Fabric Do I Need?

Aerial Silks:

Measure the height from the ground to your rigging point in feet. 
Multiply that measurement by 2.
Divide that total by 3 to convert your feet to yards. 
Add 2 or 3 yards for your tail. 


Aerial Hammock/Sling (Rigging with a Rescue-8)

Measure the height from the ground to your rigging point in feet. 
Subtract however many feet you want your hammock off of the ground. (Usually 2-3 since many of us aren't rigging from great heights. If you're lucky enough to have a tall rigging point, you can subtract 2-5 feet)
Multiply that amount by 2. 
Divide your total by 3 to convert to yards. 
Add two yards to create a safe knot through the Rescue-8.
