Why Self Storage is the Ultimate Partner in Organization
There are countless reasons why people turn to self storage to keep their lives clutter-free. Whether you’re navigating a major life transition, need extra space for seasonal items, or simply want to reclaim your home, self storage offers a flexible and convenient temporary storage option. Here are some of the top reasons our tenants choose self storage:
- Space Saver: A cluttered space is a cluttered mind. While your closets, basement, or attic, may be options to stash away some of your belongings, a storage unit can handle the brunt of your load. Don’t worry about navigating through small doorways or fitting large furniture when you have your choice of storage unit sizes.
- Drive-Up Convenience: Drive-up storage units make loading and unloading simple. No more lugging bulky boxes upstairs or through tight spaces—just pull up, drop off, and go!
- Temperature-Controlled Comfort: Temperature-controlled storage protects electronic devices, artwork, and other sensitive items from excessive temperatures. This maintains the condition and integrity of your items throughout their time in self storage.
- Secure & Safe: All American Self Storage provides strong security features such as gated entrances, security cameras, and well-lit areas. Your belongings are kept safe, and you can keep comfortable accessing your unit at any point during our access hours.

- Packing & Moving Made Easy: From boxes to bubble wrap, you’ll have everything you need to pack like an expert when you partner with a self storage facility. Keeping your stuff safe begins with high-quality moving supplies. Stop by one of our offices to stock up.
Tips for Using Temporary Self Storage Like a Pro
While choosing self storage is a smart move for organization, you must also be smart about how you are storing your items there. Here are a few tips to consider as you are preparing to pack your belongings into storage.
Pack with Purpose
That is to say, have a plan before you start moving your items into your storage unit. Label bins clearly and pack your items away carefully.
When packing your items into a storage unit, you want to leave a little bit of space in the center of all your items, so you do not have to be navigating around too many boxes to access the back of the unit if need be. Keep the items that you plan to come back for the soonest closest to the unit door for quick retrieval. In that same idea, if you know you are storing certain items for a while, you are safe to store them in the back of your unit to keep them from getting in the way.
Maximize Your Space
Use your self storage unit to its full potential by storing goods vertically. Shelving units can make a significant difference in keeping your items organized and accessible.
If you have to stack boxes or bins on top of one another, use your heavier, sturdier ones on the bottom as a foundation and stack lighter the higher you go to avoid damage.
Choose the Right Unit Size
Too big, and you’re wasting money; too small, and you’re playing storage Jenga. You can reference our online storage calculator to find the perfect fit. Just entire the items you want to store, and the tool will calculate the approximate storage unit size that will best hold that load.
Consult the pros at All American Self Storage with any questions on sizing.
Avoid Storage No-Nos
Storage units are not the right place for some items.
Food, perishables, lithium batteries, flammable objects, and pets (living beings) should never be stored in self storage. Also, appliances should be fully drained and dried of any fluids before storing. Mold and mildew can wreak havoc on an enclosed space if excess moisture is present.
Check Access Hours
Check to see if the storage facility’s hours are convenient for you. All American Self Storage hosts access hours from 6am-10pm.
