The Length of Christmas Tree Garland calculator computes the approximate length of garland to be strung on a Christmas tree based on its height.

INSTRUCTIONS: Choose units and enter the following:

  • (H) Height of Christmas Tree

Length of Christmas Tree Garland (GL): The calculator returns the length in inches.  However, this can be automatically converted to compatible units via the pull-down menu.

The Math / Science

Mathematicians at the University of Sheffield have developed equations for the perfect tree trimming. Based on the height of the tree they can calculate the optimum number of ornaments and lengths of garland and lights.   The formula for the length of garland needed for a Christmas Tree is:

  `GL =((13 *pi )/8)* h `

where:

  • GL - Length of Christmas Tree Garland
  • h - height of the Christmas Tree

This equation calculates the approximate length of the garland string needed for the best coverage of a Christmas tree. This is assuming you are also using the calculated approximate amounts of lights and ornaments.

  • Christmas Tree Lights Calc: Estimates the number of lights needed for a Christmas tree based on the tree's size and your desired spacing (density).
  • Height of a Christmas Tree Topper: Computes the appropriate height of the ornament or angel to go on top of a Christmas Tree based on the height of the tree.
  • Length of Christmas Tree Garland: Estimates the length of garland to be strung on a Christmas tree based on its height.
  • Length of a Spiral Christmas Garland: Estimates the length of a Christmas Garland or Christmas Lights needed to wind around an object (e.g. railing) based on the length covered, spacing between spirals and the diameter of the spirals.
  • Fabric for Circular Christmas Tree SkirtComputes the appropriate diameter of a skirt for your Christmas tree given the tree's diameter at the bottom and also tells you the amount of fabric needed to make it.
  • Fabric for Octagon Christmas Tree SkirtComputes the appropriate diameter of a skirt for your Christmas tree given the tree's diameter at the bottom and also tells you the amount of fabric needed to make it.
  • Number of Christmas Tree Baubles: Estimates the number of ornaments needed for a Christmas tree based on the size of the tree.Christmas tree light diagram with dense spacing
