Performance Pedestals


How much do your handstand pedestals Weigh?
A pair of handstand pedestals are just under 2.4kg

What are your handstand pedestals made of?
The main material is soft wood. Along with some brackets and screws, to ensure each pedestal is as robust and safe as possible.

Why are the hand grips / heads made at an angle?
The 15 degree slope of each head ensures your wrists aren’t placed under undue pressure when you are upside down.

The sloped heads also allow you to distribute your body weight evenly while balancing.

Is every set handmade?
Yes! Every single pair is handmade, so every single pair of Performance Pedestals is unique.

Are they suitable for training at home?
Absolutely. As long as you place them on a flat, safe surface, handstand pedestals can be used anywhere that you would like to practice your handstands.

What size are your handstand pedestals?
The total height of the pedestals is 34cm. Please visit a product on our website for more measurements and the detailed product description.

Should I buy pedestals or blocks?
This is down to personal choice. Handstand blocks are great for anyone who is just getting started and if you want to progress your handstands on from the floor.

Taller handstand pedestals are for those who are already very confident with handstands.

Can I paint my handstand pedestals?
Yes you can. The soft wood they have been built with is perfect for adding your own personalised paint job.

If you take a look at our Instagram page @performance_peds you will see some of the painted sets by previous customers.

Handstand Blocks


I’m a handstand beginner, are blocks a good idea?
Handstand blocks are a really good idea for anyone working on their handstands. Not only do they vary your handstand training, but being raised off of the floor means less pressure on your wrists and less risk of injury.

What are your handstand blocks made of?
They are made from soft wood, with the addition of a neoprene finger grip for increased comfort and a stronger grip.

Can I paint my handstand blocks?
Yes you can. The wooden material is perfect for adding your own splash of colour.

Delivery


Can I upgrade to 48 hour delivery?
Yes you can. Simply amend your delivery option at the checkout and your item will be dispatched on the same working day via 1st class delivery.

Which courier do you use for delivery?
We commonly use Yodel for deliveries within the UK, but we always stay up to date with any delays or strikes that may be taking place, so we will move to a different courier if required on the day.

If there is an additional cost for this, it will always be covered by ourselves at Performance Pedestals and will never affect the price you have paid.

How long will my order take to arrive?
Standard delivery is 3-5 working days after your order has been placed. Please take into consideration the weekends when placing or following up with any queries regarding the whereabouts of your delivery.

Do I need to be at home for my delivery?
Not necessarily, no. The delivery company will post a delivery slip through your letterbox if delivery was not possible and they will attempt redelivery the following day.

If you input your email address at checkout, you will receive tracking updates directly to your inbox.

Please contact us immediately! Our biggest focus at Performance Pedestals is ensuring you leave happy, and that means a safely delivered order.
