PolyJohn calls the Comfort XL “wheelchair accessible.” The maker does not claim ADA compliance, so we do not either. If your venue or permit requires an ADA-compliant unit, send us the requirement and we will check it against the unit.
How many accessible units does an event need?
An event needs at least 5% of the porta potties in each cluster to be accessible, with at least one, under the 2010 ADA Standards section 213.2. If you have 6 units in one area, 1 must be accessible. If you have 22 units, 2 must be accessible. Confirm the rule with your venue or permit office.
| Units in a cluster | Accessible units (minimum) |
|---|---|
| 1–20 | 1 |
| 21–40 | 2 |
| 41–60 | 3 |
Where should an accessible unit be placed?
An accessible unit needs firm, level ground and a smooth route from parking or seating, such as pavement, packed gravel or short mowed grass. Avoid slopes and soft lawns. Leave a 60-inch clear circle in front of the door so a wheelchair can turn and line up with the entry.
Accessible porta potty questions
Is a wheelchair-accessible porta potty the same as ADA compliant?
Not always. “Wheelchair accessible” describes the unit’s design. “ADA compliant” is a legal standard for the whole setup, including the route to the unit. We use the maker’s wording and help you check your venue’s requirement.
Do I need an accessible unit for a private backyard party?
A private party at your home has no legal requirement. Many families still rent one when an older relative or a guest using a wheelchair or walker is coming. The larger floor also helps parents with small children.
Does an accessible unit cost more?
An accessible unit starts at $245 for an event of up to 3 days, or $235 per 28-day cycle with weekly service. Delivery and tax are added on their own lines.
Can the accessible unit go on grass?
Short, firm, dry grass works. Soft or sloped lawns do not, because the wheels of a chair sink and the unit can rock. Choose a driveway or patio if the lawn is wet.
