Posted: Hi all. This year my drama class is putting a rendition of Romeo and Juliet, we wanted to have Juliet sitting on a trapeze like swing hung from the roof in one scene. I was wondering if any one here had any experience with creating this sort of swing and how to rig it up. The swing would not actually be used for trapeze work but would need to support the weight of a person.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

P.s. I get to be stage manager “yay!”

Posted: i have done trapeze befor, but i have no idea on how one is to rig one up. just look at a swing! same kind of method. just make sure the knotts are tight or if your going to use chain then even better. if your useing staging and rigging then your well away. good luck.
but just unscrew the hook from the buckle, one sufficient enough to attach the chain and with long enough tail to go through the pipe
and finally nuts that fit the eye-hooks and washers...
directions...
get your chain to however long you need them to be, both should be exactly the same length...
drill a hole through the pipe on each end, going in the same angle along the pipe....
slide eye-hooks through the hole you just drilled, put washer on the tail end that is sticking out from the bottom of the pipe, then screw on nut to secure eye-hook to pipe...
