What types of porta potties can you rent?
There are five common types of porta potties to rent: the standard unit, the wheelchair-accessible unit, the deluxe flushing unit, the hand-washing station and the restroom trailer. They differ in size, whether they flush, whether they have a sink and whether they need power and water.
| Unit | Width (gate) | Flush | Sink | Hookups | Best for | Wrong for |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Standard | ≈ 44 in | No | No | None | Job sites, parties, remodels | Formal weddings; wheelchair users |
| Wheelchair-accessible | ≈ 86 in | No | No | None | Events (5% rule), seniors, care sites | Narrow yards and gates |
| Deluxe flushing | ≈ 47 in | Yes | Yes | None | Weddings, upscale parties, offices | Heavy daily crew use |
| Hand-washing station | ≈ 36 in | — | 2 basins | None | Food events, OSHA wash needs | Use as a toilet |
| Restroom trailer | 10 ft gate | Yes | Yes | 110V + hose | Formal events 100–300 guests | No power/water; tight access |
How do I choose the right porta potty type?
Choose by three questions: who will use it, how long the event or job runs, and what the site can supply. Workers and casual guests do fine with standard units. Guests who expect a flush need deluxe units or a trailer. Anyone using a wheelchair needs an accessible unit on level ground.
- Count people and hours. Use the sizing calculator.
- Check the guest list. Wheelchairs, walkers or older guests → add an accessible unit.
- Check the menu. Food served → add hand washing or choose deluxe units.
- Check the site. Measure the gate; find the nearest outlet and hose for a trailer.
Will a porta potty fit through my gate?
A standard porta potty is about 44 inches wide, so it fits through most 4-foot (48-inch) gates with the dolly. A deluxe unit is about 47 inches wide and needs a 4-foot gate with the latch removed or a wider one. Accessible units and trailers need driveway or open-yard access.
