\"\"<\/a>The most common question we get in this business is \u201cHow many toilets will I need?\u201d<\/p>\n

We get asked this by regular people planning private events as well as seasoned event planning pros alike, so we wanted to take the opportunity to break it down for you.<\/p>\n

Regardless of the size of your event, having enough bathrooms is crucial in ensuring that guests will be able to enjoy themselves. No one wants to have their guests waiting in long lines (or leaving) to use the bathroom! That\u2019s why it\u2019s so critical to get it right from the outset of your event!<\/p>\n

(Trust us, you don\u2019t want to be the guy calling frantically asking to have more porta potties delivered mid-event!)<\/p>\n

Use Our Planning Chart<\/h3>\n

We have a helpful chart<\/a> to help estimate how many units you\u2019ll need for your event. It\u2019s a grid that simply multiplies the number of hours for your event by the number guests expected. As a general rule of thumb, you can expect that one porta potty unit can service up to 50 guests for up to 3 hours. For events where the number of attendees is unknown, you should round your estimates up to prevent finding yourself in a situation where there aren\u2019t enough bathrooms for all the families and individuals that show up.<\/p>\n

Consult the Pros<\/h3>\n

Our planning chart provides an estimated number of units that you\u2019ll need, but if you want a more customized recommendation based on the type of event and the geographic size of the event, you can always give us a call at 888-320-9992 and we\u2019d be happy to help you out!<\/p>\n

As professionals, we have many years of experience in the portable restroom business<\/a>, which means that we know best when it comes to rental toilets. We know when to recommend luxury restroom trailers<\/a> versus standard porta potties, and we have all of the add-ons that you\u2019ll need to keep your event sanitary!<\/p>\n

Scale Up or Down<\/h3>\n

If the event you\u2019re planning has been held before, you can scale up or down based on your previous experience. Typically this means learning from past mistakes and getting more toilets and trailers than you\u2019ve had in previous years to better accommodate guests.<\/p>\n
