Picking The Right Number of Rental Porta-Potties
When you are organizing an event, one thing that you want to make sure is that you have everything that your guests are going to need. This means that it’s essential that you have an RSVP list.
This gives you an accurate count for food, drinks, and other, more essential items. Whether you think about it or not, an outdoor event or party needs essential facilities, and without the right amount, you could be looking at a disaster in no time!
Choosing The Amount For Rental Events
When you’re having a party in a spot where bathrooms aren’t readily available, like someplace outside, you want to make sure that you have enough porta-potties for your guests to use when the need arises.
That’s why having a final count for your party is so essential. Do you rent one, two, three? Or maybe even more? You won’t know how many you will need until you have a final count.
Additionally, if you’re looking to add even more convenience, and have separate men’s and women’s facilities, be sure to break down your RSVP list even further!
Not Enough Porta-Potties = A Disaster Waiting to Happen
What can happen if you don’t have enough porta-potties? Think about your house. How many bathrooms do you have in your house? A lot of houses have at least two, but there are plenty who only have one bathroom. Now think about how crazy it is when multiple people need to use the bathroom at the same time. Now multiply that by the number of people coming to your event.
This can lead to:
- Stains
- Accidents
- Overflows
- Flooding
- General discomfort
The last thing you want is for your guests to have a bad time. By anticipating all their needs, you can ensure a successful event.
