Stainless Steel Spreader Bar, Fixed Length

Stainless Steel Fixed Length Spreader Bar. This offer is only for one bar with the end pieces, see below for cuffs, which are a custom order. The last picture shows some size examples. These Spreader Bars are made out of marine grade stainless steel parts. If you are into boating/sailing you may recognize some or all of the parts. My personal set has survived salt water on a couple of occasions (although I did clean it off in fresh water after they came out of the salt water). Although they are available in any length up to theoretically 72" through a custom order, I have 5 default sizes available in this listing. For custom orders, price will be set by the next default size up. SAFETY NOTE: While I have used my own sets for suspension, they are not in any way warranted for suspension activities. The shackles are rated for a Working Load Limit of 750lbs. All other components do not have a listed load rating for rigging. I do not have the testing equipment to properly test their use to determine a rating in this configuration or use. Although we did unscientifically test one of the original versions with over 350lbs of people bouncing up and down on a center point, we managed to bend it, but it did not break. As shown in the pictures an option with built in cuffs is available, however, due to all the size variations, a set with the built in cuffs is a custom order at this time, so please message me if interested. The Cuff set (either wrist or ankle) adds $75 and will substitute for the shackles, if you would like to be able to swap the shackles with the cuffs a pair of the shackles added on as an option with the cuffs would be $15. I will need wrist or ankle cuff size to make the order. I can not make cuffs that will fit both and still look nice, but the cuffs can be swapped out. If you want both Wrist and Ankle sets I will likely only charge $135 for both sets to make them at the same time. If ordering the cuff sets, those will be removable as default. All of my fixed length spreader bars are cut to length after payment and the number available at any one time is set by the number of end caps and shackles I keep on hand. Basically if you want more than 4 of the bars, please contact me first. The mirror finish will scuff over time, however, the personal set I use the most is still shiny enough for photographs after well over 15 years as of this date. Shipping: Shipping costs are worst case estimates, I may refund the portion of shipping not needed if the cost of shipping of these items is less than requested by at least $2. This is very likely for all except the 24" and 36" size. The shipping price is set for one 36" long spreader bar, because I can't set separate weights without creating separate listings at this time. The spreader bars will be shipped in long boxes or tubes depending on order or availability wrapped in bubble wrap. If ordering a Cuff Set, the cuffs may (or may not) be detached for shipment, however they only need a Phillips head screwdriver to attach. Background Trivia: Shortly after we had started Pleasure Paradox in 2001, One of the partners in the business created the spreader bar design. He had both a fixed length and an adjustable size configuration. He also had a wooden version, however after seeing too many of them being used in manners not anticipated we decided not to make any more of the wooden ones. While he had access to a machine shop for several months, he produced one medium batch of parts for the stainless steel versions. Unfortunately when he went to make another batch, he no longer had access to the machine shop. Then as we looked at alternatives, the price of steel shot up and made it unaffordable. Recently the price of steel has come back down (although not as far as I would like) and with the permission of the other partner, I ordered the parts I needed earlier this year and put a few test samples together. Although I can do the entirety of the fixed lengths myself, for the adjustable sets I have to take some of the material to a local machine shop and have them make the inner tubes for the adjustable ones for me, so we can not offer custom sizes on those. Right now I only have one adjustable size which is 22.5" to 36.5". It may be available in another listing by the time you read this.
