How Portable Restrooms Have Evolved Throughout The Years

By Sally Delacruz


Whether planning a major affair or completing a long-term construction job, it is vital to have the necessary bathroom accommodations on hand. For this reason, portable restrooms are incredibly popular. These units are movable and thus, they can be taken away as soon or a project or event has reached its end.

A lot of people believe that these enclosures are very basic and absent of comfortable amenities. Even though there are plenty of affordable options to choose from, there are units that have also received a variety of impressive upgrades over the last few years. They make it possible for consumers to access various amenities that provide an extra measure of comfort and luxury.

For instance, there are currently large, executive style options that people can secure. These are great for companies that are hosting large, outdoor events and want to impress their guests. These units are roomier and can have full sinks for washing the hands, interior lighting and features that are gender specific such as urinals.

Executive bathrooms can also come with several stalls. Rather than being a single unit that will accommodate just one person at a time, these will have several individual areas so that multiple people can be in the unit at once. These help to prevent long lines and crowding. These units are also great for people who feel crowded or claustrophobic when using a smaller and more conventional design.

People of differing mobility levels and ages will need to have the proper accommodations as well, especially at large events. This is why it is important to have one or more units that are accessible to those who are in wheelchairs. These are easy to enter and they are very spacious with grab bars on the inside so that people can transfer themselves from their chairs to the toilet with no hassle.

Certain units also include baby changing tables. These can actually be very comprehensive stations for parents who need a safe place to diaper their babies. These have shelves that can be pulled out along with belts that secure infants in place. Dispensers can be positioned nearby with sanitary covering that are used to line these shelves. Some companies have installed small booths that allow parents to purchase additional changing tools at a low cost, such as wipes and even diapers.

Facilities like these are essential for large crowds at big events but they are also needed by companies when working on ongoing construction projects. Using the bathrooms in a customer's home is highly unprofessional and rarely done in this industry. This is often a requirement for the work site that companies write into their job contracts.

Sometimes it will be required by law for event planners to ensure that there are adequate restroom facilities on site. This is why you have to check into local requirements when you rent an outdoor venue to plan any gathering. Doing so will allow you to choose affordable designs that are capable of meeting the needs of your group while providing these individuals with an adequate level of comfort and convenience.
