How to Calculate Christmas Tree Stand Width

The minimum trunk diameter is not stated as a universal measurement in the available product information. Instead, the listed models require a prepared hole in the bottom centre of the trunk: the 6XTS, 8XTS, and 10XTS instructions specify a 1/2-inch-diameter hole, while the 16XTS specifies a 1-inch-diameter hole. Follow the instructions for the selected model.

Start by identifying the stand size and comparing it with the tree's height, trunk preparation requirements, and stabilisation method. Bowling's Last Stand models range from 6-inch to 16-inch stands and support trees from 7 to 30 feet. Check the product's stated compatibility rather than selecting width from tree height alone.

Stand width is one factor in stability, but it should be considered alongside the tree's height, trunk preparation, support handles, legs, and stand weight. The available models use T-handles, bolts, lag bolts, or extended support arms depending on the model. Select a stand specifically rated for the tree height and installation method.

Bowling's Last Stand offers the 6XTS for trees up to 7 feet tall. It is a steel stand with a water reservoir and three T-handles for adjustment and securement. A 6XTS and 48-inch mat combination is also available. Review the model instructions for trunk preparation before installation.

The 10XTS models support Christmas trees up to 12 feet tall. The stand uses steel construction and a 2.25-gallon water capacity, while the combo version includes a 48-inch mat. The 10XTS installation information specifies a prepared trunk hole and adjustable securing components.

Check the supported tree height, stand size, trunk-hole requirement, stabilisation hardware, water capacity, stand weight, and whether a mat is included. Available models support trees from 7 to 30 feet and provide different water capacities and components. Availability and shipping charges must be confirmed by phone.
