The trapeze would look something like this.http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3521/3280952400_c4c4c421a6.jpg?v=0

Hi Neilmo, That was some interesting information in regards to the Gymnastics parlell and uneven bars. The Trapeze bar that I want to hang from the Frame does not require deflection in the bar. It should be stable and have a minimum of deflection. But thanks for those links they were...

A ray of hope :) Thanks rb1957. My better half used to be an acrobat and I'd like to at least work out how hard it would be to get one of these built. I'll start poking about on wikipedia and look at those terms. Thanks for the tips. Static Trapeze is really just a giant fancy monkey bar :)

Thanks Johnny, I was interested in the challenge of actually working it out. Anyone happen to know if there are Australian Standadrs for this sort of thing? I guess I was thinking it would just be broken down into a series of formula's, i.e. you would use something like this to calculate the...

So no tips on what formula's to use to work out the requirements for the steel posts or horizontals then.

Thanks Ron, who would you recommend to design something of this nature. Liability will only be an issue if I let someone else use it, which i don't intend to. Whilst the load won't be static, the name of the trapeze is a static trapeze as it is not designed to swing, more to have someone hang...

I have need to work out how to design a permanent static trapeze with specifications as follows. Height 6000mm Width 4500mm Load less than 190kg (2 people) Load may swing to a maximum of 45degrees I'm guessing guy wires will be necessary? Soil is medium reactive clay Having only done a...
