Crucial Factors To Consider While Choosing A Portable Toilet

If you have an outdoor event like a sports day, wedding, birthday party, or business gathering, you have to provide extra restrooms for your guests. One quick solution you can consider is portable toilet rental. 

Most companies that offer porta potties have a wide range of options, provided you know the total number of expected guests and their needs. But before investing in portable toilet renting, it's essential to understand the key factors to consider to make an informed choice. This post will share some of these factors, so read on to learn more.

Choose the Type of Portable Potty

When you check out various portable potty companies in your area, you will notice that their restrooms have different features. So, they'll expect you to make a choice depending on the kind of event and visitors. 

For instance, if you need porta toilets for a big event, you can choose standard units. But if you are hosting a luxury event with fewer guests, you can go for luxury potties. Some top features to consider as you pick the porta potties include lighting, handwashing stations, space, and non-slip floors. 

Determine the Number of Required Units

If you fail to provide enough toilets, your guests will have to line up for some time before using the restroom. This can be inconvenient for the guests and even overburden the portable toilets. Maintaining sanitation will also be challenging since the bathrooms are in constant use. This is particularly true if you are serving alcohol at the event. 

Before you make an order, determine how many portable potties will be enough for your event. Consider the number of guests, the activities they will do, the drinks they'll take, and how long the event will last. Your service provider can help you decide the number if you aren't sure. 

Check If You Have Adequate Space

Now that you know the number of porta potties you'll get, you will need to decide where to place them. A good rule of thumb is to choose a venue with adequate space to accommodate them. You may choose to have one or several venues depending on the size of the event. 

Ensure you place the toilets on dry and level ground but keep them slightly far away from the main event areas. Putting them in multiple locations will give your guests a choice, provided the site is secure and well-lit. Ensure the delivery vehicles and guests can easily access the venue.
