Planning an outdoor event can be exciting, but there's one thing you absolutely need to get right: restrooms. Whether you're hosting a festival in Lafayette, organizing a festival on the Gulf Coast, or managing a construction site, having clean and comfortable facilities makes all the difference. That's where Potty Girl comes in!
Why Every Event Needs Quality Restrooms
Think about the last outdoor event you attended. The restrooms probably weren't the first thing on your mind, but you definitely noticed if they were dirty or uncomfortable. Guests will remember and speak about their unpleasant bathroom experience long after your event ends.
A portable restroom trailer gives your guests a clean, comfortable space that feels almost like a regular bathroom. These aren't your typical basic units. We're talking about trailers with flushing toilets, running water, mirrors, and even climate control.
Understanding Your Options
When you start looking for portable bathrooms, you'll notice there are different types available. Let's break down what works best for different situations.
Standard Porta Potty Rental
Standard portable toilets are perfect when you need something simple and budget-friendly. They work great for construction sites, casual outdoor gatherings, or large festivals where you need many units spread across a big area.
While our standard porta potties are space-saving and highly maneuverable for events, and lack premium features like “hands-free” flushing toilets, running water for hand hygiene, climate-controlled air conditioning, and the ease of electrical access, this resulting in a less comfortable experience.
The Portable Restroom Trailer Difference
Now, here's where things get interesting. A portable restroom trailer is ideal for outdoor venues where comfort, convenience, and aesthetics are important, such as a wedding, festival, family reunion, employee retreat, or customer appreciation event.
Our trailers are like bringing an indoor bathroom outside. You get separate stalls, flushing toilets, sinks with running water, and proper lighting. All of our units have air conditioning and heating, which is essential for Louisiana's hot summers and cool winters.
When to Choose a Restroom Trailer
Wondering if you should go with standard units or upgrade to a trailer? Here are some situations where a portable restroom trailer makes perfect sense:
Weddings and formal events deserve something special. Your guests are dressed up, and they expect a certain level of comfort. A luxury trailer matches the elegance of your celebration.
“Excellent service with an excellent staff! We highly recommend Potty Girl! Beautiful bathroom trailer very well maintained! From the first showing to the delivery everyone on the staff was very friendly and knowledgeable of the products they rent. Thanks again Potty Girl!” - S. Landry
Corporate events and festivals benefit from trailers because they handle high traffic better. Portable restroom trailers accommodate nearly twice the amount of traffic as a porta potty can before needing maintenance.
“Deborah Young and her team at Potty Girls really care so much and give you a FIRST-CLASS experience! I have been all over the world and it is nice to have such a classy option for your social needs. I recommend Potty girls for your next level event!!!!!” - K. Kountz
Multi-day events work better with trailers since they stay cleaner longer and have larger holding tanks. This means fewer service calls and less disruption during your event.
“Potty Girl did a great job serving our event with over 1000 people. They even serviced the restrooms mid-day at an all day event. I would highly recommend them for all your portable restroom needs.” - J. Wood
VIP areas at any event become more exclusive when paired with premium restroom facilities. It's one more way to show your special guests they matter.
“My wife and I are at Festival International de Louisiane and have the opportunity to utilize the Potty Girl air conditioned and spacious portable restrooms. These are AMAZING! Roomy, VERY clean, and quiet. It smells nice and I grabbed a peppermint on the way out. But honestly, my favorite feature is the air conditioning!” - A. Benit
Monthly Rentals: Perfect for Extended Projects
Sometimes you need restrooms for more than just a weekend. That's where monthly rentals shine. Construction companies in Lafayette and across the Gulf Coast rely on long-term rentals to keep their workers comfortable and productive.
Monthly rental pricing takes into account the event size, rental duration, and additional services such as delivery and setup. The longer you rent, the more cost-effective it becomes.
Monthly rentals are ideal for:
-
Long-term construction and renovation projects
-
Seasonal outdoor businesses
-
Outdoor venues
-
Film and television production sets
-
Agricultural operations
With a portable restroom trailer monthly rental, your crew gets reliable facilities that are serviced regularly throughout your project timeline.
What Makes Gulf Coast Events Special
From Lafayette's vibrant festival scene to the beautiful beaches along Florida's Emerald Coast, these regions host some incredible events. From the lively downtown of Lafayette during Festival International de Louisiane to summer concerts on 30A, we have covered a wide range of Gulf Coast events.
The Gulf Coast's warm climate and outdoor lifestyle mean people are outside celebrating year-round. This also means your restroom facilities need to handle heat, humidity, and sometimes unpredictable weather.
Features That Matter
When you rent from Potty Girl, here's what you should expect from a portable restroom trailer:
-
Climate Control keeps users comfortable no matter the temperature outside. Louisiana and Florida restroom trailers have a flushable toilet system that transfers to a holding tank located outside of the trailer, which keeps the interior clean and odor-free.
-
Privacy and Space matter too. Multiple stalls mean shorter wait times, and the extra room makes these trailers accessible for everyone, including families with young children.
-
Lighting and Power gives you an evening without any issues. Low amp interior and exterior lights make the restroom trailer safe and easy to find after dark. Florida summers can be brutal, and nobody wants to step into a stifling bathroom.
-
Running Water isn't just about comfort—it's about hygiene. Porcelain sinks and soap make it easy for guests to properly wash their hands.
-
Hands-Free Flushing Toilets create a familiar, sanitary experience. A portable restroom trailer
Accessibility Matters
Great events welcome everyone! ADA-compliant portable restrooms ensure events are accessible to all attendees, regardless of mobility needs. Our units have wider doors, spacious interiors, and proper handrails to accommodate wheelchairs and other mobility devices.
If you're planning a public event or working on a commercial project, ADA-compliant options aren't just nice to have—they're often required by law.
How Many Units Do You Need?
This is one of the most common questions customers ask. The answer depends on several factors:
For events, a general rule is one restroom station for every 50-75 guests for a four-hour event. If you're serving alcohol, you might want to increase that ratio.
For construction sites, ANSI standards suggest one portable toilet per 10 workers for a 40-hour work week.
A good rental company will help you calculate the right number based on:
-
An estimate of how many people will be at the event
-
How many hours or days is the event
-
Whether alcohol is served
-
Access to other restroom facilities nearby

Preparing Your Site
Before your portable restroom trailer arrives, you'll need to prepare the location. We collaborate with you and ensure you have:
-
Level Ground - Trailers need stable, flat surfaces to set up properly.
-
Access for Delivery - Our delivery trucks needs clear access to drop off and pick up the units.
-
Proximity to Your Event - We place restrooms close enough to be convenient but far enough to maintain your event's aesthetic.
-
Power and Water (if required) - Some trailers can run completely self-contained, while others need hookups. We will confirm with you in advance.
Environmental Considerations
We take environmental responsibility seriously. Chemical toilets use chemicals to control odors, reduce bacteria growth, and break down waste, but these are designed to be environmentally safe when properly managed.
Portable restroom trailers with flushing systems are even more eco-friendly since they use water-based systems similar to regular plumbing.
Beyond Basic Restrooms
Some situations call for more than just toilets. We offer:
-
Handwashing Stations - Perfect for festivals, construction sites, or anywhere food is served. These standalone units make it easy for people to maintain good hygiene.
-
Shower Trailers - Ideal for disaster relief, sporting events, or industrial renovation jobs where people need to clean up. Our restroom trailers and shower facilities offer private stalls with hot water and climate control.
-
Holding Tanks - For very remote locations or extended events, additional holding capacity might be necessary.
Why Local Matters
Choosing a local Lafayette-based rental company offers real advantages. We know the area, understand regional event needs, and can respond quickly if you need anything during your rental period.
We also understand Gulf Coast weather patterns and can advise you on the best solutions for hot, humid conditions or unexpected rain.
