Constructed in 2020, the Cowan Tower III is an aerial rig constructed of wood that stands at 21’ in height. The creation portion of this project took a few months, but the rig still stands and is safe for use years later.

The rig features 3 wooden legs at 24’ in length each, with a custom mounting for the “spider” middle piece to slot in and be held in place. The tower features many redundancies to ensure safety for the aerialist and anyone in the vicinity. The triangular nature of the shape provides a perimeter for audiences, and the adhesives, metal/wood fasteners, notches, ropes, slings, and design of the tower make it safe for the performer.
