FAQ

Frequently asked questions

Quick answers before you start

Multiply length x width x height, all in feet. If your measurements are in inches, divide each one by 12 first (or just enter inches above and pick "Inches" — the calculator converts for you).

Most standard refrigerators run 18-25 cubic feet of interior capacity, but for shipping or moving purposes you want the EXTERIOR volume: measure the outside width, depth and height and multiply. A typical 36 x 34 x 70 inch fridge is about 42 cubic feet exterior.

Divide cubic feet by 27 (there are 27 cubic feet in one cubic yard). This is the conversion movers and soil/mulch suppliers use most often.

Multiply cubic feet by 0.0283. The calculator above shows both automatically as you type.

Multiply the bed length x width x depth in feet. A 4x8 ft bed filled 12 inches deep needs 32 cubic feet of soil (4 x 8 x 1). Use the "Garden bed soil" preset above to prefill this.

Add up the cubic feet of your major items and boxes, then compare to the truck's rated cargo capacity (posted by the rental company) — leave headroom for irregular shapes and padding, since boxes never stack with zero gaps.
