What comes with a wheelchair accessible porta potty rental in Chattanooga?
A wheelchair accessible porta potty rental in Chattanooga includes a unit about 88 inches square with a ground-level floor, a door opening of about 36 inches, grab bars and a 60-inch turning circle inside. Toilet paper and hand sanitizer come stocked. Delivery, setup and pickup are included in our core area.
- No step at the door. The floor sits at ground level, so a chair rolls straight in.
- Wide door. The opening is about 36 inches.
- Grab bars. Bars beside the seat help with transfers.
- Room to turn. The inside has space for a 60-inch circle, so a chair can turn around and face the door.
How much space does a handicap porta potty need?
A handicap porta potty is about 88 inches wide, 88 inches deep and 90 inches tall. Plan a flat, firm pad about 7.5 feet by 7.5 feet, plus a clear path to the door. A unit that wide will not fit through a normal yard gate, so it usually sits in a driveway or lot.
| Outside size | About 88 in. wide x 88 in. deep x 90 in. tall |
|---|---|
| Floor | Ground level, no step |
| Door opening | About 36 in. |
| Inside | Grab bars and a 60-inch turning circle |
| Stocked with | Toilet paper and hand sanitizer |
| Pad needed | Flat, firm spot about 7.5 x 7.5 ft |
| Gate it fits through | Wider than about 8 ft. Most yard gates are too narrow. |
| Water or power | None needed |
How many accessible porta potties does a public event need?
The 2010 ADA Standards, section 213.2, call for at least 5 percent of portable toilets in each cluster to be accessible, and never fewer than 1. A group of 1 to 20 units needs 1 accessible unit. A group of 21 to 40 units needs 2.
| Units in one group | Accessible units needed |
|---|---|
| 1 to 20 | 1 |
| 21 to 40 | 2 |
| 41 to 60 | 3 |
| 61 to 80 | 4 |
Section 304 of the same standards sets the turning space as a 60-inch circle. Our accessible units are built around that size.
Check before the event: your venue, park office or permit office has the final say on how many accessible units you need and where they go. Confirm with them, then tell us the count.

When is an accessible porta potty the wrong choice?
An accessible porta potty is the wrong choice when the only open spot is a slope, loose gravel or soft grass after rain. A ground-level floor only helps when the path to the door is firm and flat. The unit also takes nearly 4 times the space of a standard one.
- A tight backyard behind a gate. A standard unit fits through a 48-inch gate. The accessible unit does not.
- A steep lot. Call and describe the grade. We may find a flat spot near the street or a paved area.
- Guests need to wash with water. The accessible unit has sanitizer, not a sink. Add a hand washing station.
- A wedding with a trailer. Restroom trailers have steps, so pair the trailer with an accessible unit.
How does an accessible unit compare with a standard porta potty?
An accessible unit is about twice as wide as a standard porta potty, at 88 inches against 44 inches. It has a ground-level floor, grab bars and room to turn, while the standard unit fits a seat and a urinal into a much smaller box. Both carry hand sanitizer and need no water or power.
| Feature | Wheelchair-accessible | Standard |
|---|---|---|
| Outside size | About 88 x 88 x 90 in. | About 44 x 47 x 90 in. |
| Grab bars | Yes | No |
| Turning room inside | 60-inch circle | None |
| Space needed | About 7.5 x 7.5 ft, flat and firm | About 4 x 4 ft, level |
| Fits a 48-inch yard gate | No | Yes |
How is a wheelchair accessible unit serviced?
A wheelchair accessible unit on a long-term rental gets 1 service visit a week, included in the price. The driver pumps the tank, scrubs the floor, walls, seat and grab bars, adds deodorizer and restocks paper and sanitizer. A dated tag inside the door shows the last visit.
Event units arrive clean and stocked. For events longer than 2 days, add a mid-event service. Keep the path to the door clear so users and the service truck can both reach it.
Where should an accessible porta potty be placed?
An accessible porta potty should sit on flat, firm ground about 7.5 feet square, close to the main path guests use. Pavement, a packed gravel lot or a plywood pad on clay all work. Keep cords, ropes and parked cars out of the 36-inch doorway.
- At a public event, put an accessible unit in each group of toilets, not off by itself.
- Chattanooga gets about 52 inches of rain a year. On red clay, we set the unit on plywood or pavement so the floor stays level.
- Mark the spot with a cone or ribbon. The driver calls about 30 minutes before arriving.
- Running a festival or ball tournament? The event porta potty page covers counts and layout.
Do you have photos of the accessible unit?
The 3 photos on this page show a grey unit beside a home garage, a row of 5 units along a driveway, and the clean floor inside a serviced unit. None of them shows the wheelchair accessible model, which is about twice as wide and sits flat on the ground.
Accessible porta potty questions
Is the accessible unit wide enough for a wheelchair?
The door opening is about 36 inches, and the inside has room for a 60-inch turning circle. That is the turning space the 2010 ADA Standards use for a wheelchair. If a guest uses an extra-wide chair or a scooter, tell us when you book so we can talk it through.
How much does a handicap porta potty rental cost?
A wheelchair-accessible unit runs $225 to $295 for a weekend event, with a Friday drop and Monday pickup. On a long-term rental, it runs $195 to $260 per 28-day cycle with weekly service. Sales tax is added. See the porta potty cost guide.
Do I need an accessible unit for a private backyard party?
The 5 percent rule on this page is written for public sites, such as parks, festivals and venues. For a party at home, the real question is whether a guest needs one. If anyone uses a wheelchair or walker, rent an accessible unit and set it on the driveway.
Can an accessible unit sit on grass?
Dry, firm grass works. Soft grass after rain does not, since wheels sink and the floor can tilt. On wet ground or red clay, we set the unit on a plywood pad. Tell us if the spot floods.
Does a construction site need a wheelchair accessible toilet?
OSHA Table D-1 counts toilet seats and urinals, not accessible units. Add an accessible unit when a worker or visitor needs one, or when the owner or permit calls for it. Crew counts are on the construction porta potty page.
Is there room for a caregiver inside with the user?
The accessible unit is about 88 inches square on the outside, with a 60-inch turning circle inside. That usually leaves room for a helper to step in and assist with a transfer.
