If you manage a worksite or are planning an outdoor event, port-a-potty rental will come in handy. People won't have to take time to walk long distances to use indoor restrooms. How convenient portable bathrooms are, however, depends on placement. Here are a few tips to ensure the units are placed in the best locations. 

What Are Some Important Port-a-Potty Placement Tips?

1. Choose a Stable, Flat Surface

Placing port-a-potty rentals on rough, uneven, wet ground is dangerous. The units could tip over when exposed to high-speed winds, sink in damp ground, or someone using the restroom could accidentally hit a wall and knock the mobile toilet over. It is also hard for service trucks to access units placed on difficult-to-maneuver terrain. 

For these reasons, secure the units to even, smooth pavement or level, dry grass. Place the units against an exterior wall of a building for additional stability.

2. Use Enclosures 

Look for covered, permanent structures on the property, such as empty picnic shelters. Because the shelter has a roof, people will be protected from wind, rain, and the harsh glare and heat of direct sunlight while waiting in line to use the facilities. If there is not a permanent shelter on the grounds, place the units under a large tent. 

3. Consider Location of High-Traffic Areas

Place the port-a-potty rentals in locations near the entrances, exits, and other high-traffic areas. This can prevent large crowds from gathering and interrupting the flow of traffic in other areas of the worksite or event. Just make sure the restrooms are away from food tables and dining areas.
