The average person needs to use the bathroom between 6-7 times every 24 hours. Restrooms are a necessity for outdoor work areas or outdoor venues hosting a day-long event. And the availability of portable toilets is more abundant than ever before. The concern now is what option to choose.

Portable bathroom trailers and portable toilets have similar functions, but they differ in how they offer the service. No one wants to spend more money than necessary, but they also do not want to have less than their employees or guests need.

Here are examples of when a restroom trailer is the better option, and when a portable toilet is preferred.

Bathroom trailers include several enclosed toilet stalls as well as sinks and mirrors. The interior setup of the unit often looks like a public bathroom but with a more high-end appearance than a basic public restroom. Some companies can provide separate trailers for male and female guests, and others have the two areas separated but within one trailer.

The upscale appearance of the trailers makes them popular for use during formal events. The appearance can appeal to event planners that want an outdoor gathering but prefer it to stay as elegant as possible. The extra space inside allows people to fix their hair, adjust their clothing, and perform other hygiene tasks without forcing others to wait to use the bathroom.

The trailers are also beneficial at events with small children. Parents and children may struggle to fit into a portable unit together, especially when there is more than one child per parent. Most parents dislike allowing their children into the toilets alone for safety or sanitary reasons. They may also worry about the risks of letting their child stay outside while they attend to their business.

A trailer enables everyone to be under the same roof.

Trailers help during uncomfortable weather, like temperature extremes or rainy days. The ability to serve multiple people in one contained unit lowers the number of people that need to wait outside. The climate-controlled units also keep people comfortable during their use.

Traditional one-unit portable toilets work well for event planners on a tight budget or with a small yard. The event still has something available for the guests, even if only one unit is feasible for the host. The option is also useful for at-home events to handle the overflow of guests when someone is already occupying the inside bathroom.

Worksites also benefit from single portable toilets. Regulations on construction sites require a certain number of toilets and urinals for the number of employees. The law requires one toilet and one urinal for every 40 workers (or every 50 workers if there are more than 200 people on the site). Many experts find this insufficient and recommend one toilet for every 10-15 employees.

Trailers include multiple stalls per unit, but construction sites often have people spread out over a large distance. To have only one location for the restrooms would force people to waste time and energy just to walk to the bathroom. Single units enable the employer to rent the appropriate number of toilets and place them throughout the work area, so each employee has an accessible and easy-to-find restroom.

Do not attempt to skimp on bathroom facilities or think that local businesses will accept the guests. Many companies will not allow anyone that is not a customer to use their facilities. Guests may either leave the event or create a mess at the event area if there are an insufficient number of facilities available.
