Not really needed

P-Tree, A Panacea For Public Peeing Problems (For Men, Anyways)
The P-TREES were a great success at the Roskilde festival 2011 in Denmark, with more than 100.000 visitors and many of them using the P-TREE more than ones. For Roskilde AANDEBOOM produced 50 P-TREES in the typical Roskilde Orange color. The P-TREES were placed on 2 different spots near the main stage. By using the P-TREE the festivals problem with public peeing was significant reduced.


The P-TREE is a temporary tree-friendly urinal that can be fixed on every tree using straps and lashings. The P-TREE gives a feeling of freedom. The P-TREE can be hooked up to a central sewerage system or connected to a tank with a pump. Material: rotation molded recycled plastic, stainless steel and straps and lashings.


I am also not sure what proportion of the population is ready to pee in public like this in the daytime, sober. But even if some people use it, the load on the porta-potties will be reduced, benefitting both men and women.
Neat idea and concept for public events.  But in my garden - just give me a bit of privacy.

Though if I can install a "ground" mounted urinal -  with small sidewalls....
