How Many Portable Restrooms Will My Event Require?

Image removed.

Planning a large outdoor event for family and friends can be an exciting endeavor; but keeping any stress down to an absolute minimum is key.  Whether the event being planned will be a lovely outdoor wedding, a much-anticipated family reunion, a golf tournament or anything in-between; providing enough portable restrooms is an essential consideration to keep the gathering event running smoothly as well as ensuring the event turns out to be a truly memorable one ? free of unexpected challenges.

 

Portable restrooms must be positioned on dry, level ground and should be strategically located to ensure all your guests have ease of access, at all times.  Having an accurate estimate of how many will be in attendance is first and foremost when determining the number of portable restrooms your event will require as well as taking into account the duration of the event.  An often-overlooked consideration is alcohol consumption.  Additional portable restrooms should be made available for events where alcohol is served to avoid guests having to wait in line to use a restroom.

 

Other Considerations

  1. If your event will last for multiple days, use the longest day of the event to determine how many portable restrooms will be required.  
  2. For a multiple-day event, calculate the number of portable restrooms by using the day that will experience the largest anticipated attendance. 
  3. Don't overlook handicap restrooms, also ? for every 20 portable restrooms, add one Handicap Accessible Restroom.
  4. Include additional restrooms for a guest list with more women than men.
