Tree Skirt Size Information and Front and Back Example

Tree skirt dimensions refer to the total diameter, measured from outer edge to outer edge, including the center hole.

To choose the right size, base your measurement on the full width of the tree’s bottom branches, and account for the height and angle of your tree stand.

How to Measure: Step-by-Step

1: Place the end of a measuring tape at the center of the tree trunk or post.

2: Extend the tape diagonally to reach the tip of the widest bottom branch.

3: Multiply the number by 2 to get the approximate tree skirt diameter.

4: Round up or down based on your preference for coverage.

Example:

If your tree’s bottom branches extend 25 inches from the center, and the tree stand elevates the tree slightly, a 30-inch tree skirt provides better coverage than a 25-inch one.

📏 Formula:

(Distance from trunk center to outermost branch tip) × 2 = Recommended skirt diameter.
