Winter Parties and Port-a-Potties Go Together when you cal Westway Site Services
Would it surprise you to know that port-a-potties can be used in the winter? Most people don't think about port-a-potty rentals once the weather gets cold, but they are a year-round option! Fortunately, port-a-potties can brave the cold thanks to additives that can be included in their water-filled holding tanks. Eco-friendly varieties of antifreeze can be used for port-a-potties just like it would be used for winterizing vacation homes, RVs, boats, etc. Rock salt is another additive that allows port-a-potties to, seamlessly, function once the temperatures plummet.
Winter Fun
Whether it's ice fishing, ice skating. winter marathons, winter camping, or other cold-weather fun, having port-a-potties on hand is a huge convenience!
*** Sledding Parties: Perhaps your family and friends will hold a sledding party with the kids, and you plan on enjoying the festivity for a couple of hours. Better yet, you may know a landowner who would welcome you to take advantage of their sled-perfect hills. Having a port-a-potty on hand can make any potential 'emergencies' a non-concern. Especially with younger children, having the convenience of a port-a-potty on site is far more enjoyable than having to head back to the car and find the nearest indoor restroom. Port-a-potties allow everyone to do their business and get back to the fun, within minutes. You might plan on hot-cocoa during 'intermission' along with thermoses of hot soup or broth – you would have it all: warm liquids to soothe the soul and an accessible port-a-potty to ease everyone's mind.
*** Ice Fishing: Then, there are hearty people who can't wait for a nearby lake to freeze over so their favorite pastime – ice fishing – can commence! For those who love the cold weather, nothing beats a frozen lake, a sled full of fishing gear, and knowing a port-a-potty has been delivered by WESTWAY SITE SERVICES at the shoreline to address any 'nature calls' that are sure to crop up. While ice-fishing, an on-site port-a-potty becomes a 'creature comfort' regardless of how basic it might be.
As a safety precaution, always check with the Texas Parks & Wildlife Department before making arrangements to go out on the ice. A good rule of thumb is to wait until the ice is 4'' thick. And here's an interesting bit of historical trivia: During the winter of 1930, Lake Worth – near Fort Worth – had areas of ice reaching a thickness of 7''! According to news reports at the time, local residents enjoyed ice fishing for days!
*** Winter Runs: Ah yes – Texas winter marathons! Whether it's Denton's Mardi Gras Mad Dash or Fort Worth's Cowtown Marthan – both, of which begin in late February – thousands attend to be a part of the fun. Port-a-potties, on-site, ensure nature calls can be addressed without an issue. Even though port-a-potties aren't thought of much, when they are needed, they become one's best friend!
