Everyone who's ever planned an occasion where several people plan to be outdoors for an extended length of time—be it a wedding, a music festival, or a large-scale jobsite in Kentucky—they understand that one of the most crucial and often overlooked details involves the portable bathrooms. Figuring out just how many portable bathrooms to rent can feel like an unscientific guessing game.

However, at A1 Portables, we’re a Kentucky-based family business here to lend our 80+ years of expertise. Plus, we can help you take an informed guess on the right number of portable bathroom rentals, saving you from the disastrous consequences of underestimating this vital need.

When it comes to the question of how many portable bathrooms you should rent, several factors come into play. These include the number of attendees, the duration of the event, whether there's food and drink service, and the male to female ratio. For instance, a multi-day festival with food and drink service will require a greater number of portable restrooms as compared to a half-day wedding with fewer attendees. mean.

For simplistic understanding, we break it down based on the nature of your event:

You need to factor in the number of guests, the duration of the event, and whether alcohol will be served. A good rule of thumb for a party lasting 4 to 5 hours with a guest list under 100 should be around 2 to 3 portable bathroom units.

OSHA recommends at least one portable toilet for up to 20 workers on a 40-hour week construction site for optimum productivity and convenience.

The number can increase exponentially based on the estimated attendance and the duration of the activity. A one-day event with about 1,000 attendees generally needs around 12 units for proper sanitation and convenience.

These are merely guidelines, and many other variables can influence the number of units required. It's also recommended to include portable restrooms designed for disabled attendees.
