How long is a beam?

[gymfan4ever95]

For Christmas, I am asking my parents for a floor beam. I already have a low beam, but it isn't as long as a real beam is. I want a floor beam so I can work on upper level skills . But I see beams in all these magazines/internet that are 8, 9, or 12 feet long. So my question is...how long is a beam?

A regulation beam is 16 feet long, 4 feet high and 4 inches wide

The beams in the gym are always exactly 16 feet long,and 4 feet tall, and 4 inches wide. as JuJu's Mom said.

Does anyone know where I can get a floor beam that is this long? or even 12 feet long?

actually, it is 47 1/4 from the top of the beam to the cement floor at 120 cm.
