There are many facets involved in planning a successful outdoor special event, whether you have 10 or 10,000 guests. When people call for portable toilets, one of the first questions we hear is – how many portable toilets will I need for my event or for my job site? Well it’s not an exact science, but there are some things you need to consider. Here they are:

• How many guests (or workers) do you expect?
• How long will the event (or job) last?
• Will alcohol be served? Events where food and alcohol are served necessitate the need for added restroom facilities.  Also, facilities that include hand washing are important.   
• What is the weather likely to be?
• What level of physical activity is involved?
• Will there be guests with special needs or young children in attendance?  Guests with special needs may require a more accessible portable restroom.  Also, parents with young children may need a larger area within the restroom for easier navigation.

If you are holding a large outdoor event, restrooms should be clearly marked, easy to get to and there should be an adequate number for the amount of guests (or workers).

Here is a chart to help you begin your planning.

This chart is based on a 50/50 mix of men and women with no service for the restrooms during the event.

Finally, you will need to decide on what type of portable toilets you require. The least expensive are the basic models that provide a seated toilet area or a seat and a urinal. If you require an accessible toilet that meets ADA standards, these are also available and will aid in making the restrooms available  for all. ADA portable toilets are also great to use as family restrooms because they provide more space. You can also provide separate portable sinks for hand washing. The luxury option for weddings, charity, corporate, or higher end events are the mobile restrooms, which are air conditioned, have porcelain sinks, a music system and vanities. There are also ADA compliant luxury restroom trailers.

Choosing portable toilets means understanding how many and what type of restrooms you will need. This is determined by the number of people attending the event or working on the job site, as well as how long the units will be needed.

Mobile restrooms open up so many event possibilities. With the addition of  mobile restrooms you can now have your outdoor event virtually anywhere. No water, no power, no problem! Restroom trailers can be delivered with portable generators and a water supply.

Have you seen them? Mobile restrooms are beautiful, comfortable and convenient. No need to worry about your guests and their comfort. They are sparkling clean, upscale units which are fully equipped with running water, flushable toilets, climate control and a private and comfortable lavatory, as well as deluxe sinks with lighted vanities, overhead lighting and AM/FM stereo systems with hi-def televisions.

Mobile luxury restrooms can be used for outside events or for long-term use and can accommodate small or large groups. Small scale functions or large corporate events can all be accommodated with a luxury mobile restroom. They are very popular for outdoor or home weddings.

Solve all of your outdoor event needs with portable restroom trailers. They make planning an event easy, and with the various styles and levels of luxury, your options for venues increases exponentially. 

If you have ever been to any kind of outdoor festival event, you've probably encountered the average portable restroom. Plastic individual restrooms that usually have a line outside them waiting, certainly they do not have a fantastic odor, and they only get emptied when the trucks come to empty them out.

Luxury mobile restrooms on the other hand, have all the conveniences of your bathroom at home, no matter where outside you happen to be. Mobile Restrooms are able to provide running water and electricity for lights, heating and air conditioning.
 
Depending on the size of the restroom trailer rental, they will have either individual restrooms or multiple toilet stalls and urinals. However, the true mark of luxury mobile restrooms is the fact that visitors cannot tell the difference between using these and the facilities in their own homes. To that end, all luxury mobile restrooms are finished to a very high standard, often incorporating aesthetically pleasing wood paneling, ceramic sinks and toilets, and fake marble into the decor.

Luxury mobile restroom trailers are in a portable restroom league of their own. Luxury mobile restrooms allow users to feel at home. The experience for your guests is worth it.

Outdoor weddings and events are becoming more and more common. However, many stunning outdoor locations lack essential amenities. You want your guests to remember the wining and dining at your function or wedding reception, not the inadequate or unsightly restrooms.

For many years, the solution to hosting an outdoor event was to use portable toilets. However, the typical blue plastic portable toilet is inadequate for weddings and other formal events. Luxury restroom trailers solve all of these problems. They are similar to the bathrooms that are found in your home, ensuring that wedding guests can be comfortable, relaxed and pampered.

No Water, No power, No problem!

It is important to have the correct amount of portable toilets for your special event. Without enough portable restrooms, you run the risk of having dissatisfied guests. The last thing you want are long lines or complaints about the lack of portable toilets or that they are dirty. Plan a successful event with plenty of restrooms for the amount of people in attendance. Portable restroom rentals are one of the most important features of special event planning.

In order to plan a corporate or municipal event, you need to dates and back up dates, make a budget, choose and reserve the location, obtain permits and coordinate transportation and parking, as well as plan for event registration. And, depending on the type of event, some other tasks may include decorations and themes, tents, tables and chair layout, and contracting electric and lighting crews, and audio/visual companies. And for outdoor events, depending on the size, add to that to-do list: security, portable toilets, emergency and health care services, and clean up and sanitation.

The true first step in planning an event is to prepare thoroughly. The most important thing to figure out is the total expected number of guests. That number is going to affect everything else. The amount of food, the number of tables, and the amount of portable restrooms or restroom trailers are all dependent on the maximum number of people that are planning to attend. If you are unsure of an exact number, round up. Too much is always better than not enough.
