Enter the length of the banister or mantel (in) into the Garland Length Calculator. The calculator will evaluate the Garland Length. 

Garland Length Formula

The following two example problems outline the steps and information needed to calculate the Garland Length.

GL = L * 1.5
  • Where GL is the Garland Length (inches)
  • L is the length of the banister or mantel (in) 

To calculate the garland length, multiply the length of the banister or mantel by 1.5.

How to Calculate Garland Length?

The following example problems outline how to calculate Garland Length.

Example Problem #1:

  1. First, determine the length of the banister or mantel (in).
    • The length of the banister or mantel (in) is given as: 20.
  2. Finally, calculate the Garland Length using the equation above: 

GL = L * 1.5

The values provided above are inserted into the equation below and computed.

GL = 20 * 1.5 = 30.00 (inches)


Example Problem #2: 

For this problem, the variables required are provided below:

length of the banister or mantel (in) = 40

Test your knowledge using the equation and check your answer with the calculator..
