The need for port-a-potties doesn't end just because it is cold outside. Port-a-potties are essential for construction sites and large events even during the wintertime. Using a port-a-potty when it is freezing outside is not always a pleasant experience, though. There are steps you can take to make sure that using a port-a-potty is as pleasant an experience as possible.

#1 Put the Portable Toilet in the Direct Sunlight

When you have the portable toilet delivered to your construction site or event, think carefully about where you place the toilet. Try to find a location that is in the sun all day. A nice shaded area is perfect for a port-a-potty in the summertime; however, the opposite is true in the wintertime. You want to place a port-a-potty somewhere where the sun will warm things up. That way, when you go into the portable toilet, it will not be as cold as it is outside.

#2 Protect Your Portable Toilet from Strong Winds

Next, you are going to want to protect your toilet from strong winds. Strong winds are common in the winter time, so make sure that you place your portable toilet somewhere where it is protected from strong winds that could push your toilet over, or could just contribute to the wind chill that you experience while inside of the portable toilet.

One of the best ways to avoid cold wind chill is to put your portable toilet on the east side of a physical structure. The structure could be fence or building.

#3 Consider Putting the Portable Toilet Inside

If it is really cold where you are working, you may want to consider putting the portable toilet inside. If there is a garage that you can put the portable toilet inside, this is a good way to ensure that the experience of using the toilet is not so freezing. Putting your portable toilet inside of a garage is also a great way to avoid the toilet getting pushed over by strong winds. This may not work for every situation, but it is a solution for some situations.

#4 Add a Heater to Your Portable Heater

Finally, you may want to consider adding a portable heater to your portable restroom. You may be able to mount a small portable heater up high inside of the restroom. You may use a portable heater that is battery-operated. A portable heater is a quick solution that can make using an outdoor restroom a more tolerable experience in the wintertime.
