Event planning

How many porta potties do you need?

Four steps. Whole numbers. No guessing.

Step 1: guests ÷ hours

Up to 4 h: 1 unit per 50 guests
Up to 6 h: 1 per 40
Up to 8 h: 1 per 30

Step 2: bar?

Add 1 unit for every 4 when alcohol is served. Round up.

Step 3: accessibility

At least 5% of units in each cluster, and no fewer than 1, should be accessible where required.

Example: 150-guest wedding, 5 hours, bar

5 units

150 ÷ 40 = 3.75 → 4. Bar adds 1. One of the 5 is accessible.
