Smiths Station at a Glance
Climate figures: NOAA 1991–2020 normals from the Columbus Metro Ap, GA station, about 9 miles away.
Planning Around the Weather
DOE's Building America map puts Lee 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 49 inches of precipitation falls in an average year, with about 15 days of an inch or more. Soft ground is the risk: units belong on a firm, level base the service truck can reach without crossing a soggy lawn, and an ADA unit needs a route that does not turn to mud.
Heat
About 81 days a year reach 90°F or more, more than three in four U.S. places in our data, most of them in the summer months. For long rentals in the hot, humid months, ask how often units will be serviced. In the summer months, ask how often units will be pumped and restocked, and put them where they get afternoon shade.
Occasional Freezes
Only about 28 nights a year reach 32°F (fewer than three in four U.S. places in our data), but one hard freeze is enough to damage anything that holds water. For winter dates, ask what the provider does with water-carrying units when a freeze is forecast.
Job Sites and Home Projects
Building in Existing Neighborhoods
About 10.3% of Smiths Station's housing units were built in 2010 or later (ACS 2020–2024), below the U.S. share of 11.4%, though above the median U.S. place in our data, so most homes predate 2010 and many projects are renovations or additions to existing buildings.
Homes From the 1970s and 1980s
The median year built for Smiths Station's housing is 1989 (ACS 2020–2024), newer than most U.S. places in our data, and 34% of housing units predate 1980. Housing from that era is now 35 to 55 years old; crews replacing roofs, windows or mechanical systems on it need a toilet on site like any other crew.
Mobile Homes
The most common housing type is detached houses, about 74% of units (higher than most U.S. places in our data), followed by mobile homes at about 24% (ACS 2020–2024). Detached houses usually have a driveway or yard where a crew's unit can stand within reach of the service truck. In a manufactured-home community, the community's management decides where a unit for setup or repair work can stand. About 85% of occupied homes are owner-occupied (higher than three in four U.S. places in our data); for a rented home, the landlord's OK comes before the unit.
Under OSHA 29 CFR 1926.51, a crew of 20 or fewer needs one toilet, so a single unit covers a typical renovation crew; you can ask for exactly one. More on sizing: construction rentals in Alabama.
Events, Weddings and Parties
A four-hour summer event for 2,000 people needs 12 units on the PSAI event chart, or 14 to 15 with alcohol (PSAI adds 10–20%). Every cluster of restrooms needs at least 5% accessible units, rounded up, and with heavy rain this common the ADA unit needs a route that stays firm when the grass is wet.
With only about 28 freezing nights a year, summer is the season to plan around; for a summer wedding, a restroom trailer brings air conditioning but needs a power source, while deluxe units need no hookups. More: event rentals in Alabama and wedding restrooms in Alabama.
Who to Ask About Local Rules
Smiths Station is an incorporated city with its own municipal government. For an event on public land, or a unit that will stand on a street, sidewalk or in a park, ask the Smiths Station city government before you book what applies.
In a manufactured-home community, ask the community's management first.
