Party planning

How many porta potties for a party?

One simple rule gets you close. Here is the math.

Austin Rental Works · Beaufort, SC

The rule

Guests × hours ÷ 200

Multiply guests by hours, divide by 200 and round up. That is your unit count.

Examples

100 guests, 4 hours = 2 units

150 guests for 5 hours = 4 units. 250 guests for 4 hours = 5 units.

Beer on ice?

Add 1 unit for every 4

Guests drinking beer use the restroom more, and lines build late in the party.

Food served?

Add a hand wash station

Two foot-pump sinks, soap and towels. About 400 washes per fill.

Every guest

Add a wheelchair-accessible unit

ADA-style units are about 87 inches square, with a ground-level floor and grab bars.

Dressy party?

Think restroom trailer

Flush toilets, sinks and lights. Needs a 110V/20-amp outlet, water and level ground.
