Planning an outdoor event is one of the biggest tasks. No matter how much you plan or try to keep things on point, something or the other goes wrong. Sometimes, the mistake becomes so big that the entire event turns into a failure, and guests leave with a bad experience. The entire efforts go into vain.

In the list of outside event arrangements, one thing that is undoubtedly important is a portable restroom. You cannot imagine hosting an event without it. If you do so, the event will become a mess and leave a poor impression on your guests.

A portable restroom is important for a clean and hygienic event, so you shouldn’t skip this on your list. But before you rent the product, ask the following questions to your vendor. The answers to these questions will help you find the right product with no problem during the event.

How many portable restrooms will I need for my event?

The number of portable restrooms should be very accurate; it can neither be too many nor too few. If the numbers are less, you will find your guests standing in queue for long. On the other hand, if the numbers are more than required, it will look overcrowded and spoil the look of your event. So you should calculate the average number of portable restrooms before renting.

According to experts, in the event of three hours, 50 people can use a portable restroom. If the number of guests in the event is above 50 and the event is longer than 3 hours, you will need more restrooms. Using one or a limited number of restrooms in the event will raise questions on your hygiene level.

You can determine the exact number with the event planning chart that usually restroom vendors have. You should give the list of headcounts and evaluate things accurately.

Which portable restroom will be best for my event?

Different portable restroom options are available with the vendor. You should know their pros and cons before renting.  

You can rent standard-sized portable restroom units for not sophisticated events. If it’s a simple get-together on small scale with no additional requirements, the standard unit will be enough.

In case you are organizing an event for handicapped people or have handicapped guests, you should rent a portable restroom with wheelchair accessibility. These kinds of restrooms will also help families with young children.

If you’re organizing a VIP level event with a huge sophistication level, you should rent special events suite restroom trailers. These trailers offer amenities like flushing toilets, running hot/cold water, climate-controlled interiors, and elegant finishes. They are large to be used individually or supplement other bathroom options.

Do I need add-ons for my portable restroom units?

The special events suite restroom trailers have everything in them. They give a feel of a home bathroom with all the amenities.

If you are renting small or standard restroom units, you will need hand washing stations or hand sanitizer stations. With this, the attendees do not have to wait in a queue to wash or sanitize their hands without needing to use the bathroom. It will help the people who are preparing, serving, or consuming food at your event.

You can add many other things to enhance the experience of your guests.

Renting a portable restroom is not enough, renting it right is important. You should make sure all the factors are considered and analyzed before getting the units.
