Gunbarrel at a Glance
Climate figures: NOAA 1991–2020 normals from the Boulder 14 W, CO station, about 20 miles away. Snowfall is from the Boulder, CO station, about 7 miles away. Conditions on your site can differ from the station's.
Planning Around the Weather
The closest NOAA climate-normals station, Boulder 14 W, CO, is about 20 miles from Gunbarrel's Census point, far enough that conditions on your site can differ; treat the 1991–2020 normals below as a guide. DOE's Building America map puts Boulder County in the Cold climate region (IECC 2021 zone 5B, PNNL county guide). Winters in this region are long enough that freezing, not heat, is usually the main limit on units that carry water.
Freezing Nights
About 244 nights a year drop to 32°F or below, more than nine in ten U.S. places in our data, so freezing weather covers a large part of the year. Anything that holds fresh water freezes first: hand-wash stations, deluxe flush tanks and trailer plumbing. For winter dates, ask for winterized units or a heated restroom trailer, or plan on sanitizer.
Snow and Access
Average snowfall is about 93 inches a year (snowfall normals from the Boulder, CO station, about 7 miles away), more than nine in ten U.S. places in our data, enough to bury a ground-level path several times a winter. Service trucks need a plowed path to each unit all winter, and a cleared, packed pad keeps units level as snow piles up; agree who clears the route.
Job Sites and Home Projects
Building in Existing Neighborhoods
About 6.2% of Gunbarrel's housing units were built in 2010 or later (ACS 2020–2024), below the U.S. share of 11.4%, 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 Gunbarrel's housing is 1979 (ACS 2020–2024), newer than most U.S. places in our data. 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.
Older Paint on Renovation Jobs
A large share of Gunbarrel's housing, about 55% of units, was built before 1980 (ACS 2020–2024). EPA’s Renovation, Repair and Painting Rule covers paid work that disturbs painted surfaces in homes built before 1978, and OSHA’s lead standard for construction (29 CFR 1926.62) requires adequate hand-washing facilities for workers exposed to lead. If the crew will sand, scrape or demolish old paint, put one of the hand-wash stations next to the toilet.
Apartments, Townhouses and Rentals
The most common housing type is detached houses, about 49% of units (lower than three in four U.S. places in our data), followed by buildings with five or more units at about 37% (ACS 2020–2024). Apartment and condo projects bring larger crews, and a property manager decides where units go. About 37% of occupied homes are rented (owner share lower than most U.S. places in our data), so check who controls the property before a unit goes on it.
OSHA 29 CFR 1926.51 scales with headcount: 45 workers on an apartment or condo site need 2 toilet seats and 2 urinals, 210 need 5 of each. More on sizing: construction rentals in Colorado.
Events, Weddings and Parties
A three-hour winter event for 1,000 people needs 8 units on the PSAI event chart, or 9 to 10 with alcohol (PSAI adds 10–20%). Every cluster of restrooms needs at least 5% accessible units, rounded up; for winter events, clear the route to the ADA unit at full width, not just a footpath.
Cold, not heat, limits the outdoor season: from late fall into spring, ask for a heated restroom trailer or units that do not depend on running water. For winter events, clear and pack a path for guests and for the service truck before setup. For a party at an apartment complex or a rented home, the property manager or landlord decides where units can stand. More: event rentals in Colorado and wedding restrooms in Colorado.
Who to Ask About Local Rules
Gunbarrel is unincorporated (a Census-designated place), so Boulder County, not a city hall, handles local roads, parks and events. For an event on public land, or a unit that will stand on a street, sidewalk or in a park, ask the Boulder County government before you book what applies.

What weather should I plan for in Gunbarrel?
NOAA 1991–2020 normals from the Boulder 14 W, CO station, about 20 miles away: about 0 days a year at or above 90°F, 244 nights at or below 32°F, 34 inches of precipitation and 93 inches of snow (snowfall normals from the Boulder, CO station, about 7 miles away). The station is more than 15 miles away, so your site can differ. Plan for freezing first: water-carrying units need winterizing or heat.
Who keeps the path to the units clear of snow in Gunbarrel?
Agree it with the provider when you book. With about 93 inches of snow a year (snowfall normals from the Boulder, CO station, about 7 miles away), the service truck needs a plowed route to every unit, and an ADA unit needs its route cleared at full width.

It depends on the crew, not the building: 15 workers need 1 toilet, 45 need 2 toilet seats and 2 urinals (OSHA 1926.51). About 37% of Gunbarrel's housing units are in buildings with five or more units (ACS).
Who do I ask about a permit for an event or a unit on the street in Gunbarrel?
Ask the Boulder County government. There is no city hall; the county handles local roads, parks and events.
