Conditions at a Glance
Climate figures: NOAA 1991–2020 normals from the Nashville Intl Ap, TN station, about 7 miles away.
Ground and Route Conditions
DOE's Building America map puts Davidson County in the Mixed-Humid climate region (IECC 2021 zone 3A, PNNL county guide). This region gets both a real summer and a real winter, so a July rental and a January rental need different planning.
Rain and Ground
About 51 inches of precipitation falls in an average year, with about 14 days of an inch or more. Rain is the main threat to an accessible route: grass and bare soil soften, and a route that was firm at setup can rut by evening. Use pavement or compacted gravel for the route where possible.
Freezing Nights
About 66 nights a year reach 32°F or below, fewer than most U.S. places in our data, mostly between late fall and early spring. On frosty mornings, check the ramp and route for ice before people arrive.
How Many Accessible Units
The U.S. Access Board's guide to the ADA Standards says that where portable toilets are clustered, at least 5% of the units in each cluster must be accessible, rounding up:
| Units in the cluster | Accessible units (minimum) |
|---|---|
| 1 to 20 | 1 |
| 21 to 40 | 2 |
| 41 to 60 | 3 |
| 61 to 80 | 4 |
Worked example: the PSAI chart gives 12 units for 2,000 people over 4 hours. In one cluster, 5% of 12 is 0.60, which rounds up to 1. Split into 2 clusters of 6, and each cluster needs its own: 2 ADA units in total (so splitting raises the count, because the 5% applies per cluster).
See ADA unit counts for more cluster sizes.
Placement
An accessible route has to reach the unit: firm, level ground such as pavement or compacted surfaces rather than deep grass or loose gravel, with a compliant ramp at any level change. Keep the accessible unit next to the main restroom row rather than off on its own. The Access Board's guide exempts portable units on construction sites that are used only by construction workers; units there for visitors or the public are not covered by that exemption.
Who to Ask About Local Rules
Nashville has a consolidated city-county government, so one government covers both city and county matters. For a public event on public land, including where the accessible units and their route will go, ask the consolidated government of Nashville before you book what applies.
What to Ask For
- How many units are in each cluster (at least 5% accessible, rounded up)
- The surface between the path and the door
- A ramp for any level change
- Placement next to the main restroom row
- A firm surface for the route if the ground is soft
