Portable toilet hire for sports events

The importance of portable toilets at sports events

Hygiene and sanitation - maintaining hygiene is crucial, especially in outdoor and temporary venues where permanent restroom facilities are unavailable. Portable toilets provide a clean and sanitary solution, preventing people from ‘going’ anywhere and everywhere throughout the venue grounds, and reducing the strain on limited existing facilities.

Convenience for participants and spectators - participants need toilet facilities before and after their performances, while spectators could require them throughout the event as well. Having portable toilets strategically positioned around the venue ensures easy access, reducing queues and discomfort.

HSE compliance – there are many regulations that govern the provision of toilet facilities at public events and, for organisers, failure to provide sufficient restrooms can lead to fines or event cancellation. Hiring portable toilets ensures complete compliance, keeping your event within the law and following the Green Guide to Safety at Sports Grounds.

Environmental considerations – at Fortis Hire, our portable vacuum toilets use up to 90% less water than their traditional flushing cousins and are completely chemical-free. We also supply the Fresh Flush 5 Bay Toilet which is powered exclusively by solar energy. All our units are also stocked with quality, recycled paper products.

Choosing luxury toilet units for your sports event

Selecting the appropriate type and number of portable toilets is vital for efficiency and user satisfaction. Here are the key factors we ask clients to think about:

Attendee numbers - a general rule is to have at least one toilet per 50 attendees for shorter events. For full-day or multi-day events, additional units may be needed to accommodate increased usage. How many portable toilets do I need? can help with this.

Location and placement - portable toilets should be strategically placed near spectator stands, food stalls, and participant rest areas. Proper distribution minimises long queues and ensures accessibility for all attendees. Our toilet units require firm, flat ground with enough access for our delivery vehicles, plus a 13 amp power supply. Where generator power is required, sufficient space should be allowed.

Maintenance and servicing - to keep restrooms clean and functional, event organisers should consider a regular servicing contract, especially for longer events. At Fortis Hire, we take responsibility for all waste disposal, restocking of toiletries and consumables, and cleaning where required.

Types of portable toilet units

From the village cricket match to a national Fi event, there are portable toilet units to cater for every size of event and any number of spectators.

At Fortis Hire, we offer different options that cater to different needs, as follows:

Our standard portable toilet range comprises basic units with a toilet, and a foot-operated freshwater hand basin with soap dispenser and paper towels. These units are ideal for high volume sports events with heavy foot traffic.

Our luxury toilet units offer a truly VIP experience for users, with quality interiors finished to a high standard. Features including fully flushing ceramic toilets, ceramic basins and well-stocked vanity areas are just some of what makes our toilet trailers luxury. Luxury toilet units are the ideal solution for VIP sections of your venue, and our full range of luxury toilets includes the smallest Luxury 1 plus 1 toilet that caters for up to 100 users, the popular Luxury 3 plus 1 for up to 300 people, and our largest unit, the Luxury 4 plus 2 for up to 450 visitors.

Accessible toilets - designed for people with disabilities, as well as families with babies and young children, our luxury disabled toilet is completely DDA compliant and features wider doors, grab bars, and ramps, plus an integral baby-changing station.

Portable urinal hire is ideal for events with a higher proportion of male attendees where it can reduce queues for cubicled units, leaving them free for female users. Our complete guide to luxury urinal hire at public events has lots more helpful information.

Benefits of hiring portable toilets for sports events

Cost-effective solution - portable toilet hire is more economical than constructing permanent facilities. Scalable according to event size, portable toilet hire ensures budget efficiency for organisers.

Time-saving setup - portable toilets can be quickly installed and removed without disrupting the event setup. Fortis Hire handles delivery, installation, and removal, allowing event organisers to focus on other aspects of the event.

Enhanced event experience - providing adequate toilets enhances the overall event experience for both participants and spectators. Clean and accessible facilities contribute to attendee satisfaction and event success. Luxury toilet units show users how valued they are and contribute positively to public perception of the event and its organisation.
