If you’re buying a large tree for a display, you’re going all out on a big tree for home, the Titan stand is made of stern stuff. Suitable for trees up to 15ft (450cm) tall, with a trunk size of up to 7″ (18cm), the Titan stand is constructed from heavy duty powder-coated steel, with three wooden wedges included for additional bracing. The legs have rubber end caps to limit movement and stop your floor being scratched. You don’t want a huge tree falling over, so it’s worth securing it with a proper stand fit for it’s size.
The water reservoir has a capacity of up to 7.5 litres. The overall diameter of the stand is 127cm. If this one is a little too big, check out the Medium and Large sizes.
Please note: Titan stands are available for delivery from late November.
Companies and growers measure Christmas trees in lots of ways, so on our website we’ve tried to keep it relatively simple: our measurements in feet are a minimum height to the top of the tree. So, if you order a 6ft tree it will be at least 6ft from the base of the trunk to the tippy top – typically, it will be a bit taller. Don’t forget to account for this potential extra height – sometimes up to 1.5ft for taller trees.
The long bit on the top of the tree (where you put your star or fairy) is called the ‘leader’. This can be quite long on some trees and much shorter on others – just natural variance – so growers account for this when measuring by taking a height to halfway up the leader (halfway between the top set of branches and the top of the tree). Just to confuse things a bit further, the industry standard is centimetre ranges. Here’s a handy conversion:
Tree ordered - Height to halfway up leader:
4ft tree - 125-150cm
5ft tree - 150-175cm
6ft tree - 175-200cm
7ft tree - 200-225cm
8ft tree - 225-250cm
9ft tree - 250-300cm
With natural products it’s not a perfect science, so these ranges act as a guide and your tree may be a little outside of the ranges in either direction.
If you’re putting your tree in any sort of stand, that will add some height to the tree, so don’t forget to factor it in to the overall measurement! If you need a stand, we sell them here.
Bear in mind that the taller your tree, the wider it will be at the base. Nordman Firs and Norway Spruces in particular get quite big and bushy as they get taller, so make sure you’ve got space!
