Does anyone know if it's ever gonna be sold in the U.S.? It's been a debate between getting the A frame or just getting an X Stage and I'm starting to think the A frame is just not going to be released in the U.S. :/

The most response I got from xpole was on June 1st saying they are waiting for another shipment and final installation to make it available in the U.S.

The A-Frame 'will' be released in the USA the X-Pole US office will be able to advise on deliveries. X-Pole sincerely apologises for the length of time it has taken to get the A-Frame into production. After Beta testing in the UK for 6 months last year modifications were made to improve the telescopic legs making them easier and smoother to operate. This proved more difficult than first thought and the A-Frame was further delayed while official structural testing took place which could not be done until the final updated legs were produced. We are sure that our users and customers would prefer a proven product and we are sure you will be very pleased with the end result. Once again our apologies X-Poe Tech Team
Thank you so much for the response :)
Hello to Aerial ppl who own this item, I am interested in buying A frame and have some questions since the web did not provides enough info/reviews regarding this item. 1-Length of the top bar? 2-weather proof? Material? 3-total weight of the set? Max baring/loading weight? 4-Footprints ( from shortest setting to tallest setting) 5-I am 4'11"/151cm, 95lb/43 kg, can I do full split on Lrya without my legs hitting the frame? 6-Rubber sold under the footings? 7-Wobbly??? Do sand bags helps? I own 50mm, 45mm xpoles and 40mm stage lite for years, I am a loyal customer. Any info or advice/tips are welcome :)

Hi! First suggestion and tip check out the lessons here 💜 I have an A-frame so here ya go. 1-Length of the top bar? 55in 2-weather proof? Material? Not weather proof. Several materials, including chrome. 3-total weight of the set? Max baring/loading weight? Haven't wreighed it. It's rated up to 330 lbs. 4-Footprints ( from shortest setting to tallest setting) There are multiple heights. From about 7 ft to 11ft 5-I am 4'11"/151cm, 95lb/43 kg, can I do full split on Lrya without my legs hitting the frame? My feet touch I'm just under 5' 8" I don't think you would touch when in split. 6-Rubber sold under the footings? Yes 7-Wobbly??? Do sand bags helps? Moves a bit as I would expect from a portable freestanding frame. Yes, use the sand bags of you are doing anything with a lot of motion. I can do very gentle swings with my hammock and it's been fine. Hope that helps!
Hi Veena, big fan of yours for years! Yes, I will check out your lessons! Thank you for replied my questions and gave out all the details! Very helpful! I also had a good conversation with the aerialist Stephanie from Xpole USA yesterday. Will make decision between trapezrigging's 13ft free standing rig and A frame. Both of them are very similar/good quality. Narrow down the differences are: A Frame has much smaller base footprint lowest setting 7'3"x6'4" to the tallest height of 10'4"x9'. Trapezrigging.com is 10'x10'-16'x18'; Top bar A frame is about 8" longer (measured from inner useable length). A Frame is made with mix material: Aluminum/Steel/Chrome - not completely water/weather proof vs Trapezrigging is made with Aluminum. Then is the price: A Frame costs 50% less. Other then that A frame is 2 ft shorter, both takes 300-330lb load, swival legs with rubber sole, only A Frame provides straps and sand bags. Tough decision for me...maybe I should buy both!! hahaha For those who are also interested in buying, welcome to give out thoughts and experiences...I will be doing Lyra drops/ body rolls/ spinning on the stand...so stability is very important to me as well as outdoor ability. I have spaces both indoor and outdoor. -Rae

I literally just finished doing a periscope where I set up the A frame for the first time in over a year! It was a learning experience lol Here's the broadcast if you're interested. https://www.periscope.tv/w/aZykyjFQWEtkb1lEQlpRZXZ8MUx5eEJ6eUJ3UFl4TrudAb8NXyZ9SAe3QJVSr3R7j-Wkm35GVwamgZkWKFOg

Thanks for posting Veena! I look forward to your instructional video you'll be posting. I like the idea of showing how to put it up with 1 and 2 people.
Yayo ·
Video not loading for me :( using the app.
Veena ·
It won't load because each broadcast is only up for 24 hrs.
Yayo ·
Oh no! Do you have this video anywhere else? Very interested to see the set up.
Veena ·
No, I will be making a set up video sometime tho.
Yayo ·
Ok thank Veena!

I will have to buy an A Frame soon and move on to hoop soon...my boyfriend and I are moving onto a boat, so my beloved pole had to go :( But am excited to start aerial hoop :) Does the A frame come with pins and screws and whatever to attach the hoop to it? Or would I need to buy that seperately? Or would the hoop have the attachments included?
Kobajo84 ·
Amelia Clewett The A Frame comes with two brackets you clip your carabiner to. If you want the hoop to spin, you would use 2 carabiners and a swivel which you would buy separately.

The X Pole A frame is out of stock on US x-pole site. I emailed them and they said they don't know when it will be back and to check back in a month.
Yayo ·
When I was getting my XPole stage they were out too. Wasn't back for 3 months. Then they sold out again. So if you really want it, keep an eye out and get it while you can. Kobajo84 Where can you get that?
Kobajo84 ·
Sorry late reply...just saw this. I got my a-frame from the xpole US website. I think I was one of the lucky ones who placed an order at the right time.
Yayo ·
Where do you get carabiners and a swivel?
Kobajo84 ·
You can order from aerialessentials.com, aerialfabric.com, or aerialempowerment.com
Yayo ·
Thank you Kobajo84!!!
Those who have an xpole aframe, did it arrive wrapped in bubble wrap? Or did it arrive with metal parts clanging and banging together? Thanks!
Veena ·
It comes in a bag that contains the parts, that bag is packed in a large box. 😊
Veena ·
I will add I got mine a few years ago so I don't know how they do it now.
