What makes a porta potty wheelchair-accessible?
A wheelchair-accessible porta potty is built for wheelchair users. Our typical unit is about 87 inches wide and 87 inches deep, with a ground-level floor and no step at the door. It has a wide door, grab bars beside the seat and about a 60-inch turning space inside.
- Footprint
- about 87 x 87 in. (typical)
- Entry
- Ground level, no step
- Door
- Wide, opens for a wheelchair
- Turning space
- about 60 in. inside
- Grab bars
- Beside the seat
- Hand washing
- Hand sanitizer; no sink inside
There is no sink inside on purpose. That keeps the floor clear for turning. If you need hand washing, set a hand wash station on firm, flat ground next to the unit.
How many accessible porta potties does my event need?
The 2010 ADA Standards, section 213.2, say that where portable toilets are grouped in one spot, at least 5 percent of each cluster, and never fewer than 1, must be accessible. That works out to 1 accessible unit for every 20 units in a cluster. The accessible unit counts toward your total.
| Units in one cluster | Accessible units |
|---|---|
| 1 to 20 | 1 |
| 21 to 40 | 2 |
| 41 to 60 | 3 |
A festival with 2 restroom areas needs at least 1 accessible unit in each area. Read the rule yourself in the 2010 ADA Standards, section 213. For crowd sizing, see festival porta potty planning.
Why does the 60-inch turning space matter?
A 60-inch turning space lets a person in a wheelchair roll in, turn around and back up to the seat without help. The ADA Standards set a 60-inch circle as the basic turning space in section 304.3. Our accessible unit gives about that much room on a clear floor.
The turning space rule in section 304 explains the circle and the T-shaped option.
The room helps more than wheelchair users. Parents with a toddler, someone with a walker, or a guest who needs a helper all fit inside.

Where should I put a wheelchair-accessible unit?
A wheelchair-accessible unit needs a flat, firm spot about 8 feet square, plus a firm, level path to the door. Concrete, asphalt and packed gravel work best. Thick grass, loose gravel and soft mud make a wheelchair hard to push, even when the unit itself sits level.
- Pick the flattest ground on site. A slope that is fine for a standard unit can tilt this floor.
- Keep the path short and away from cables, hoses and tent stakes.
- Set it closest to parking or the main walkway, not at the far end of the row.
- This unit is too wide for a 4-foot gate or the dolly. The truck needs to reach the spot.
Our yard prep guide covers paths, wires and septic lids.
Can anyone use the accessible porta potty?
Anyone can use a wheelchair-accessible porta potty. Older guests, pregnant guests and parents with small children often prefer it for the extra room and the grab bars. Because it counts toward your total, an event with 3 units can make 1 of them the accessible unit at no loss of capacity.
It is a good pick for a family reunion with grandparents or a church event where some guests use canes. Crews with a worker on light duty use it too, and so do sites like a jobsite with a long-term rental.
Wheelchair-accessible porta potty questions
What does a handicap porta potty rental cost?
A wheelchair-accessible unit starts at $225 for an event up to 7 days, with delivery and pickup. On a monthly plan it starts at $215 per 28-day cycle plus a one-time $60 delivery. Tax is extra.
Does the ADA porta potty have a sink?
The accessible unit has hand sanitizer but no sink, so the floor stays clear for turning. Add a 2-sink hand wash station, from $125 for an event, on flat ground beside it.
Is your accessible unit ADA-certified?
We describe it as wheelchair-accessible: no step, a wide door, grab bars and about 60 inches of turning space. Whether a site meets every ADA rule also depends on the ground and the path, so check your own setup against the 2010 ADA Standards.
Can a wheelchair fit inside and turn around?
A standard-size wheelchair fits through the door and can turn inside the roughly 60-inch clear space. The floor sits at ground level, so there is no ramp or step to climb.
Do I need an accessible unit for a private backyard party?
The 5 percent rule is written for places open to the public. For a private party it is your call, but if any guest uses a wheelchair or walker, plan on 1. It replaces one standard unit in your count.
Will the accessible unit fit in my backyard?
It is about 87 inches wide, so it cannot go through a normal gate or on a dolly. The truck needs to drive close to the spot. If the backyard is fenced, a driveway or side lawn usually works better.
