On its simplest level the cloud swing resembles a Spanish web in length and width, with each end braided and spliced-lashed with a thimble, forming a loop.
The technique is closely related to both silks, (another aerial circus skill performed on one or two long strips of strong fabric, often in bright colours), and Spanish web.
While in this position, a "web setter" spins the rope in a wide arc around the performer creating enough centrifugal force to push him or her into a near-horizontal position.
