Garland Calculator

Tell us the span between your fixing points and how deep you want the swag to hang, and this works out the garland each drop needs — a hanging garland follows a curve, so it is always longer than the gap it crosses.

Project measurements Length of Individual Garland (ft) Leave blank to size the run without counting pieces.

Number of Drops Distance Between Drops (ft)

Drop Height (ft) How far the garland dips below the points it is fixed to.

Length of Drop: Left End (ft) Length of Drop: Right End (ft)

Disclaimer

The visual representation generated by our Garland Calculator is designed to provide an approximate estimate of the garland length needed based on the desired drop between two points. Please note that the actual fullness and drape of the garland can vary depending on the product's fullness and wire gauge. Additionally, this tool does not assess electrical needs or limitations. It should not be used to determine maximum run lengths for a single electrical source. Consider this calculator as a guide for estimating the amount of garland required, rather than a precise measurement tool.
