There’s nothing worse than having too few restrooms at an event. Long lines for the bathroom can leave even the cheeriest guests feeling disgruntled and make your event memorable for all the wrong reasons. However, you also don’t want to over-book restrooms, spending way more money than needed. So what’s the solution? A thorough event planning process! If you understand the details well, estimating the correct number of restrooms is much easier. To get you started, we have developed a list of areas to consider when planning portable restrooms for an event.
Event Logistics
The number of porta-potty units you need is contingent upon two factors: the number of guests attending and the length of the event. You will need to order additional units for large events or parties, lengthy events (think half-day or longer), or events where food and beverages will be served.
ADA Compliant Units
ADA-compliant restrooms provide handicapped bathroom accessibility. Depending on the nature of your event and guest list, you should order more of these bathroom units than the minimum requirement. The extra space within these larger units is great for families with small children or guests needing a quick outfit change.
Specialty Units and Trailers
Our luxury restroom trailers are perfect for upscale events or events where you want to offer guests extra amenities. These trailers are climate-controlled and have running water, flushing toilets, and elegant finishes such as wooden cabinetry and well-lit mirrors.
Hand-washing Stations
Standalone hand-washing stations allow guests to wash their hands quickly and efficiently after exiting portable units. These stations help to prevent the spread of germs, meet public safety regulations, and help guests to feel more comfortable. Our team can help you determine the number of hand-washing stations you’ll need per number of portable restrooms and guests.
