Outdoor Events – Dealing with the Weather
There is a saying, There is no such thing as 'good weather' or 'bad weather' – it's just your attitude toward it. And though that insightful perspective may hold a lot of truth, the fact remains that outdoor events can be negatively impacted when undesirable weather creeps in.
If you are planning an outdoor event, staying abreast of upcoming weather conditions is always wise. That kind of prudence and planning has a lot to do with the port-a-potties or portable restrooms you would provide your guests or attendees. Whether your outdoor event will be planned for a public festival or concert or whether your outdoor event will be a more intimate occasion such as an outdoor wedding, WESTWAY SITE SERVICES, formerly Moore Cans' port-a-potties and portable restrooms would love to partner with you!
Our port-a-potties and portable restrooms can be fully ready for your crowd even if the weather is:
Windy ~
High winds have the potential to tip over port-a-potties – as well as exhibits, food kiosks, etc – not good! By placing port-a-potties against sturdy structures, they can become protected from windy gusts. If you anticipate windy conditions, our WESTWAY SITE SERVICES, formerly Moore Cans' team can offer suggestions with placement against walls or buildings. If those options are not possible, port-a-potties can be securely staked to the ground. It's, also, important that any wind doesn't get a stronghold on your port-a-potties if they have been placed on unstable terrain. You will want to choose surfaces that are solid and flat – whether it would be the ground itself or a paved area.
Cold ~
From concerts to farmers' markets to family reunions, warm weather is, typically, when port-a-potties are used the most. But did you know that cold weather is, also, port-a-potty weather? Yes, there are cold-weather activities that are conducive to having port-a-potties on hand: ice-fishing, ski parties, outdoor ice-skating rinks, winter Olympic events, cold-weather construction, etc.
The blue sanitizing and deodorizing liquid used in port-a-potties is capable of freezing but, fortunately, there is a remedy for that: Our technicians would add a non-toxic solution to the water to keep it from freezing. So, whether you have a construction site that needs to 'keep on keeping on' or if you have an outdoor event where 'fun' is the operative word, WESTWAY SITE SERVICES, formerly Moore Cans' port-a-potties will be fully functional!
As a side-note: If you are planning a special celebration, such as a surprise birthday bash, during cooler times of the year, be aware that port-a-potties and portable restrooms can be placed in garages or other buildings with space heaters, nearby. One of our team-members can give you details!
Hot ~
The biggest challenge with high-temps and port-a-potties is combating any odors than can increase since bacteria love to duplicate in warmer, more-humid environments. At WESTWAY SITE SERVICES, formerly Moore Cans, we utilize environmentally-safe products that act as odor destroyers. Tech-advanced formulas are able to absorb and eliminate odors at a molecular level.
Also, placing your summer-time port-a-potties in the shade can do a lot to help keep your units cooler – the difference between shaded areas and sunny areas can be a whopping 15 degrees Fahrenheit!

Use Weather Apps
Through the wonders of technology, our lives run much smoother, and that would include ensuring your event succeeds even if the weather isn't going to fully cooperate. Thankfully, weather apps provide accurate 10-day forecasts of temperatures and, possible, precipitation. By knowing this information ahead of time, you might realize you'll need an event tent for drizzle, for example, to keep entrances to port-a-potties dry. One can, also, move port-a-potties in an available garage or building. And, as mentioned, if the wind were to whip up, port-a-potties can be staked to the ground.
