How to Measure Your Christmas Tree
Before you order your storage bag, you will need to carefully measure the Christmas tree it is meant to hold. Keep in mind that height is a general guideline to choose a bag, but true fit will also depend on the girth and thickness of the tree, as well as whether it is a take-apart or hinged tree. Our guide below will walk you through the steps to correctly and accurately measure your tree to get the best fit.
Height
Measure the tree while standing, from base to top.

Section Height
Measure the length of the longest section while the tree is detached.
*If your tree does not have separate pieces, this measurement will be the same as the height.

Width
Measure across the widest point of the tree while it is standing.
*This measurement will only be needed if you are purchasing an upright tree bag. If you have a hinged tree, fold the limbs in before measuring.

Measure across the widest point of the tree when branches are collapsed.
*If you plan on storing multiple pieces in one bag, measure the girth of all the sections together.

Please round up your dimensions to the nearest inch.

Additional Tips
If no storage bag with your exact dimensions exists, choose one that is slightly larger in circumference and height. The bag needs to be at least as deep and tall as the collapsed girth of the tree. If your tree has multiple pieces, you may need to choose a bag with a greater depth and height to allow for overlapping. We recommend using two bags for larger trees to make the bags lighter for easier transport.
