Portable toilets offer guests a convenient and comfortable way to use the facilities while attending an outdoor event like a wedding or a concert. When planning the festivities, it's important to consider where you place the port-a-potties so you can ensure guests have easy access without the units being disruptive to the event. Below are a few tips for proper portable toilet placement.

A Guide to Port-a-Potty Placement

1. Choose a Spot With Firm, Level Ground

A portable toilet should have solid support to prevent pitching and tip-overs and to make the units easy to utilize. Select a patch of ground where the surface is both firm and even. Try to avoid areas with soft or uneven terrain, like rocky or sandy spots or spaces with an excess of dirt. Ultimately, you want to find relatively level surfaces that are free of bumps and not vulnerable to mud. For added protection and structural reinforcement, consider putting the port-a-potties up against something large and solid, such as a wall or building.

2. Don't Hide the Portable Toilets

Portable toilets are always going to stick out to some extent, especially at formal affairs like outdoor weddings, so you may be tempted to try to conceal them as much as possible. But don't hide them to such a degree that guests are left wandering around, wondering where the facilities are. Station the port-a-potties at easily identifiable locations, such as near entrances and exits, and post tasteful signs directing attendees to the toilets.

3. Avoid Food Service Areas

Place portable toilets away from all areas serving food, whether the event has catered dining, a food truck, a concession stand, or a potluck. Also, aim to position the toilets downwind of these locations. At the same time, make sure that the toilets are still a walkable distance and readily accessible to those enjoying the food service; this is especially true for events that are serving alcohol, which naturally makes people have to use the facilities with greater frequency.
