How ready is your site?
| Question | Established venue | Temporary or open site |
|---|---|---|
| Delivery access | Usually a known service entrance | Route may cross lawn, gates or soft ground |
| Placement spot | Often a designated area | Needs to be chosen and checked |
| Lighting | Existing site lighting | May need temporary lighting for the path |
| Power and water | Venue can usually say what exists | Arrangement needs to be planned per model |
| Accessible route | Existing paths to check | Route may need to be created across grass or gravel |
| Who decides | Venue coordinator | Owner, park office or organizer |
For the details of each row, start with the five placement questions in the placement guide, which has an illustrative diagram and a full site checklist.
Weather and season
Restroom trailers are climate-controlled, which is a large part of their appeal outdoors. The site around them is not, so think through:
- Rain: does the delivery route or guest path turn soft? Is there a firmer alternative spot?
- Heat: is the path shaded, and is the trailer close enough that guests do not avoid the walk?
- Cold: are steps and paths likely to ice, and who clears them?
- Wind: are tents, signage or décor near the trailer secured?
Share a rain plan with your rental team if the event may move.
Lighting and access after dark
An outdoor event that runs past sunset needs a lit path from the event to the trailer doors. Check it at the time of day it will be used, not at a midday site visit.
Accessible route
On grass, gravel or a field, a step-free route may need to be planned rather than assumed. Ask the owner or organizer how guests will reach the accessible entrance from the main event area.
The U.S. Access Board describes accessible routes as connecting accessible spaces and running with, or near, general circulation (Chapter 4: Accessible Routes). More in the placement guide.
What to ask the venue or owner
- Where can a delivery vehicle enter, and are there access-hour limits?
- Which spots are firm and reasonably level, and which areas must be avoided?
- What power and water exist near those spots?
- What lighting is available after dark?
- Who is the day-of contact for delivery and pickup?
