Do you have an event coming up? Wondering which septic solution is best? By definition, portable restrooms, portable toilets, or porta-potties are single units that stand alone and can be customized or fit alongside many other toilets. On the other hand, restroom trailers are more luxurious, a comfort station with a standalone unit that offers more space and individual stalls within the trailer for additional privacy and convenience.

Both options are great for various events, but you may need a few factors to consider to be sure about your choice. Discover four crucial things to consider before making the final choice.

Capacity

How many people do you expect at the event? For example, is it a concert with an unknown number of people or a graduation party with invites only? The amount of guests you expert dramatically affects your decision because porta-potties are best suited for extensive use compared to restroom trailers. 

The luxury trailers are excellent too at large service, but portable toilets allow for fast and effective toilet service for larger crowds. Moreover, you will have less crowding as the toilets can only serve one at a time.

However, before you conclude that large crowds need porta-potties and small crowds need trailers, consider the next point.

Type of Event

The type of event you host goes hand in hand with capacity, meaning that even if you have a large wedding with an unknown number of guests, you can still opt for restroom trailers. In this case, you must look at the kind of bathroom needs you want to offer your guests.

For example, concerts and sporting activities may do well with porta-potties with multiple units because attendees need to use the bathroom as quickly as they can and head back to their activities.

On the other hand, if it is a wedding, a product launch, a festival, or a gala, you can assume that the event may need people to do some touch-ups to maintain their appearance. Therefore, a restroom trailer would be best since it contains a sanitizing station, a sink, a diaper station, odor control, and other amenities to support these needs.

Whatever septic solution you choose, just be sure to choose one that offers convenience, comfort, functionality, and good traffic flow.

Budget

The cost is a significant concern because luxury and extra comfort come with a price. Depending on your event budget, choose the septic solution that will be cost-effective for you.

Additional Features 

The portable restroom is often rudimentary. It will feature a toilet, urinal, and hand sanitizing station. An elite portable toilet, on the other hand, will have additional features like a coat hook, mirrors, shelves, and sink, and in some cases, flushing toilets.

Despite all these good things, these features usually can't surpass those of the restroom trailer. These luxury restrooms offer top-notch service, comfort, and the most outstanding functionality. Examples of luxury trailer features include showers, large mirrors, cabinetry, interior and exterior lighting that would be excellent for late-night events, climate control, hot and cold water, and flushing toilets. 

What's more, the trailer could also include art, flowers, and air fresheners to create ambiance within the trailer.

Which One Should You Choose? 

There are many more factors to consider such as location and environmental space, but the four factors above are the most significant. If your budget allows, a restroom trailer would be an excellent choice for your weddings, festivals, and luxury events, while portable restrooms take the lead for sports tournaments.
