Hosting or planning a major event entails a lot more than first-timers imagine, right down to a decision many new event planners don’t consider until they’re well along in the process: where to place your port-a-potty rentals. This is a more important decision than you might realize, one that can directly impact how smoothly your event goes. Thankfully, some basic tips will put you on the right path.

Best Locations for Porta Potty Rental Placement

1. On Level Ground

First and foremost, it’s important to place your porta potties where they will not rock, wobble, or move. This will help ensure the safety and comfort of your guests, keep the waste inside them leveled and stable, and support the crew by providing an easier and safer experience when it comes to installation and transportation. 

2. Close to the Concessions

Whether your event is small to mid-sized, such as a workplace gathering, or a larger event such as a concert, festival or fair, you can be sure that people will be eating and drinking. With that in mind, it makes sense to place the port-a-potties where they will be accessible, preferably with the concessions being located between the bathrooms and the main event area. This allows people gathering for a break to easily choose either the event or the restrooms.

3. Along Walls or Back-to-Back

Placement along a wall, if possible, isn’t merely about keeping them in a more secluded and private area. It’s also a safety precaution, helping protect them from wind and bad weather. If a location like this isn’t available and the weather forecast looks questionable, consider placing the stalls back-to-back and securing them together instead.

4. Accessible By Vehicles

No matter the final location for your toilet rentals, it’s a good idea to locate the port-a-potties somewhere where they can be easily accessed by vehicle. Having to manually move them through the event premises can increase the workload and labor needed to set them up, as well as expose workers to an increased risk of accidents.

5. Where Crowds Are Moving

Finally, locate your port-a-potty rentals where your guests are guaranteed to be moving. This might mean placing them alongside the paths between the entrance and the main event field, the walkways between key attractions, and other high-traffic locations.
