Safety Comes First With Gymnastics Beam Setups
3
While professionals know just how important
safety is when setting up gymnastics beam
configurations for workouts, those creating their
own exercise areas for the first time might not.
There are certain things to consider whether the
equipment is going into an actual gym or its for
home use to help young gymnasts hone their skills.
The first thing to consider when buying a
gymnastics beam is the amount of space available
to hold the equipment. Standard beams are about
eight feet in length and can elevate to over 18
inches in height for low beams. Adjustable and
high beams can take up even more room with some
coming in at 12 feet in length. When staking out
a space for activity on a beam, be sure theres
plenty of room on either side and enough ceiling
clearance to ensure safe routines.
While ample space is an important factor when
setting the location for a beam, so is making
sure the right gymnastic mats are used in
conjunction with the purchase. Some companies
sell mats and beams together, making the choice
pretty simple. If a mat must be purchased
separately, be sure its at least 6 feet in width
for a typical 8 foot beam. Larger beams do call
for more coverage from gymnastic mats, so do keep
that in mind.

Tips for Buying
When looking for mats or gymnastic beam designs
that will work well for budding athletes,
consider shopping at stores that specialize in
this gear. Not only will they have all the
specialty equipment needed to create an ideal
practice area, but they also have the expertise
to make sound safety recommendations. One of the
best places to look for gymnastics gear is the
Internet, where stores exist catering especially
to gymnasts.
