Stay Cool. Stay Clean. Keep Your Guests Happy. 

Summer is the season of outdoor fun—block parties, weddings, concerts, food festivals, charity runs, and everything in between. But when the temps start climbing, one detail can make or break your event: portable restroom planning.

Whether you're hosting a cozy backyard celebration or a multi-day music fest, hot weather requires thoughtful porta potty prep. Here’s everything you need to know to stay ahead of the heat.

 1. Know How Many Porta Potties You Need

One of the biggest mistakes event planners make is underestimating restroom demand.

General rule of thumb:

• 1 unit per 50 guests for every 3-4 hours

• Add more if alcohol is served or for longer events

• Consider ADA-compliant units for accessibility

 Pro Tip: For large summer events, always err on the side of more. No one wants long lines under the blazing sun!

2. Choose the Right Units

Not all porta potties are created equal—especially in the heat.

Options include:

• Standard Units: Basic, budget-friendly solution

• Deluxe Flushable Units: Offer improved comfort, handwash stations

• VIP Restroom Trailers: Air-conditioned, running water, mirrors, and lighting

• ADA-Compliant Units: Spacious and accessible for all guests

 Pro Tip: VIP trailers are a game-changer for weddings and upscale events. They’re also great for heat relief!

 3. Placement is Everything

Think about where you place your restrooms—not just for convenience, but for comfort.

• Choose shaded areas to reduce heat buildup

• Ensure they are easily accessible, but not too close to eating areas

• Consider winds and traffic flow

• Place handwashing/sanitizing stations nearby

 Pro Tip: If no natural shade is available, consider renting pop-up tents or canopies to cover the units.

 4. Keep It Cool & Clean

High temps can lead to high odor and discomfort—stay ahead of it!

• Schedule mid-event cleanings for multi-day events

• Add deodorizer packets and vented units

• Provide handwashing stations and sanitizer dispensers

• Stock up on toilet paper, towels, and soap

 Pro Tip: Want bonus points from guests? Add cooling towels, misters, or fans nearby for extra refreshment.

5. Communicate With Your Rental Provider

Work with a porta potty provider that understands the unique challenges of summer events.

Ask about:

• Delivery & pickup times to match your schedule

• Servicing frequency for longer events

• Backup plans in case of heat waves or high demand

• Bundle deals with dumpsters and site support

 Final Thoughts:

Hot weather doesn't have to mean hot mess. With the right planning, porta potties can be a seamless part of your summer event experience. Focus on comfort, cleanliness, and convenience—and your guests will thank you.
