How to Winterize a Portable Restroom
Anyone who works in the construction business will tell you that using a portable restroom during the winter months can sometimes be a frigid experience. As the winter approaches, we wanted to share 6 quick tips that can help keep your porta potty a little warmer. To help prevent unwanted freeze-ups, we’ve put together a few quick tips to ensure your restrooms remain fully functional this winter.
5 Ways to Keep Your Restroom From Freezing
Place in Direct Sunlight
It’s amazing what a little sunlight can do. As the sun shines and moves across the sky, it can warm the outer walls of your restroom and radiate heat inside the facility.
Shield from Winds
Consider placing your restroom on the east side of the building, fence, or structure to help shield from the bitter wind chills. By doing this, you’ll not only be fighting the cold, but you’ll also prevent unwanted tip-overs.
Place in Garage
On occasion, it makes sense to bring the restroom indoors. Once inside, you’ll avoid wind chills and extreme temperatures.
Remove Snow
Snow build-up is the perfect recipe for creating an even colder experience. Removing piles of snow against the exterior walls will prevent a freezing interior.
Add a Heater
A small portable heater can often be the simplest and most effective solution for a cold, winter day. These small portable heaters fit perfectly inside the restroom, providing maximum convenience and comfort.
Restroom Trailer
Trailers are equipped with well-lit, heated interiors, eliminating any daylight or cold weather restrictions. Restroom trailers are durable and provide extreme relief from the frigid elements.
