Best Metal Hoop

A superior quality metal hoop made by a British craftsman in Somerset, suitable for regular use in schools, museums and stately homes as well as at home. The hoop is made from steel, with a superior durable weld, and has a captive handle with a turned end for added safety. It can provide hours of fun and exercise for both children and adults. With a little care it will provide years of enjoyment; to maintain the hoop in good condition simply wipe it over with a lightly oiled cloth occasionally and store it in a dry place. Although the hoop can be used on rough surfaces, and will even go up and down kerbs, this can slightly distort the shape over time. However, this in no way affects its usage and it should last for many years.

Although it looks easy to use, there is an acquired skill, and it is possible to become very proficient in steering and guiding it. The hoop can be enjoyed by children or adults. Although you can run along with the hoop, it is equally possible to walk with it.

Two sizes are available. In general, we have found that the smaller hoop is usually best for children to learn the basic skill and how to steer it.

The metal hoop was a common plaything in Victorian times, probably made by the local blacksmith, and almost every Victorian child would have played with one.
