Estimating Chart
Use this chart to estimate the volume of your goods. Then match the number of cubic feet you need with the right size storage space. Copy this information into the form on the Northside page, Westend page, or the Red Deer page and submit to that office.
Estimating the size of storage space needed
Size may vary due to wall thickness and height. Most units are 10 feet in height. To arrive at the number of cubic feet in a storage space, follow the example.
Approximate size = Square feet x Height = Cubic Feet
(i.e.) 5 x 10 = 50 sq. feet x 10 (H) = 500 cubic feet
