How much garland do you need for your porch railing if you wrap it?

To determine how much garland you need for your porch railing, first measure the length of the railing you plan to cover. Then, consider how densely you want to wrap the garland; a common recommendation is to use about 12 inches of garland for every 1 foot of railing if you're wrapping it loosely. For a tighter wrap, you may need 6-8 inches per foot. Always round up to ensure you have enough to work with.
