Port O Potties Fairlawn, OH

High and Dry Location

The first thing to look for is a high and dry location. This keeps the area surrounding the toilets clear in case of rain. If the toilets are placed low, where water easily floods the area, guests will have a hard time making their way inside to use the facilities.

Types of Toilets

The first thing to note is that there are many types of toilets to rent. Event hosts cannot simply order one style and call it good. The type of event, and type of people in attendance, are key in determining what type of toilet is required. A restroom trailer is ideal for more formal events, such as a wedding or large festival. These trailers offer several restroom stations, as well as places for handwashing. They are more upscale and well-liked because of their typical bathroom appearance. Most include lighting as well, which porta johns do not have.

A typical porta john is a simple option that is meant for emergencies. There may be a regular bathroom located nearby, but several porta johns are put in as well so those who need to go quickly can do so. This type is often placed at a construction site where men are on the job for long periods of time. They also work well for outdoor concerts and fairs where a large amount of people are in attendance and need to get in and out of the bathroom quickly. This type is low-key, but cost-friendly.

Handicap stalls are now also available. These are relatively the same as the regular port o potties in Fairlawn, except they are larger in size. This allows for extra space for a wheelchair to make its way inside. They also work well as family restrooms when a parent needs to go in to assist a child. These stalls also include a grab bar that provides a way for people to pull themselves up to standing when they are not able to do so on their own.

Tips for Renting

Before someone decides to rent a portable toilet, they should be aware of several factors. Certain features and price options should be considered before making a final rental decision.

Ensure Enough Space is Available

It may be easy enough to find space for a few porta johns. The trouble will be finding a large enough area to accommodate either a large number of porta johns, or an entire restroom trailer. A restroom trailer can take up as much space as an RV, so there needs to be a big location on site for this to be accommodated. The space also needs to match the other special requirements as discussed earlier, including well-lit and on high ground.

Find the Features You Want

• toilet paper
• a hand sanitizer dispenser
• door lock

More advanced solutions have a mirror and soap dispenser. A VIP solution goes as far as offering interior lighting. The more features included, the pricier the rental will be, but it may be worth it to keep guests happy.

A hand washing station can be added nearby to help save on costs. The regular porta johns can be rented, with a hand washing station situated close by for use.

One Toilet For Every 10 People

If there are 10 people present at an event, that does not mean 10 toilets are needed. One toilet is sufficient for every 10 guests in attendance. Not all will have to use the facility at once, and a slight wait time is to be expected. Using this method, some money can be saved. It just means that servicing of the toilet may need to be done a little more often than expected.
