Specs from the PolyJohn manufacturer sheet for the PJN3. The PJN3 is a single-user unit, so plan the count with our sizing rule, not the tank size.
paid bookings in our call review were standard units. Renters asked about sinks and flushing, but most chose the standard unit for a one-day event or a jobsite.

A standard porta potty fits through a gate that is at least 48 inches (4 feet) wide. The PolyJohn PJN3 is 43.5 inches wide, and two crew members need a few inches on each side to cart it. Our crew can hand-cart an empty unit about 25 feet from the truck.
Most Denton backyard gates are 36 to 48 inches. A 36-inch walk gate will not pass a standard unit. A double gate or a 4-foot gate usually will. If the truck can drive into the yard, the gate needs about 10–11 feet of width and no wires or branches below 12 feet.
| Your access | Will the standard unit get there? |
|---|---|
| Gate 48 in or wider, spot within 25 ft of the truck | Yes. The crew carts it in empty. |
| Gate under 48 in (a 36-in walk gate) | No. We place it on the driveway edge or side yard. |
| Spot more than 25 ft from where the truck parks | Ask dispatch. A closer spot is usually the answer. |
| Truck drives into a field, pasture or lot | Yes, with a 10–11 ft path and 12 ft of overhead clearance. |
| Alley access behind the house | Often yes. Text us a photo so dispatch can check width and wires. |
callers asked the exact unit size so they could clear a spot. One needed about 11 feet of access to reach a backyard. A photo texted to dispatch settles the question before the truck leaves.

A standard porta potty has 6 things inside: a toilet seat over the 60-gallon tank, a non-splash urinal, 2 rolls of toilet paper, hand sanitizer, a mirror and an occupancy latch that shows "occupied" from outside. A vent pipe pulls odor up and out, and the translucent roof lights the inside during the day.
- Seat and lid at 19 inches, close to a household toilet.
- Non-splash urinal so men do not use the seat. That keeps the seat cleaner for everyone.
- Two toilet paper rolls, replaced at every service.
- Hand sanitizer, refilled at every service.
- Mirror for a quick check before going back to the party.
- Occupancy latch with an outside indicator, so nobody pulls on the door.
- Vent pipe and translucent roof for airflow and daylight.
What is a standard porta potty best for?
A standard porta potty is best for 3 kinds of jobs: construction and remodel sites, backyard parties up to about 50 guests per unit, and ranch or farm work. OSHA 29 CFR 1926.51(c) Table D-1 allows 1 toilet for up to 20 workers, and the PJN3 has the seat and urinal that the table counts.
| Job | How many standard units | Service | Next read |
|---|---|---|---|
| Construction or remodel | 1 for up to 20 workers (OSHA Table D-1 minimum) | Weekly, included; 2× weekly for 11–20 workers | Construction site toilets |
| Backyard party, 4 hours | 1 per 50 guests, rounded up; +1 if alcohol is served | None needed for 1–3 days | How many porta potties |
| Party or reunion, 4–8 hours | 1 per 35 guests, rounded up | None needed for 1–3 days | Same guide |
| Ranch, farm or hunting lease | 1 toilet + 1 hand-wash facility per 20 farm workers (OSHA 1928.110) | Weekly, included | Ranch & camp toilets |
| Plumbing outage or septic relief | 1 for a household or small building | Weekly on longer rentals | Ask dispatch |
Ranches and pipeline crews that move every few days can also rent a standard unit mounted on a single-axle trailer. The crew tows the unit to the next work area, and we pump it on the weekly route. Homes on septic are another common use: callers in our review rented a standard unit so party traffic stayed off the septic system.

When is a standard porta potty the wrong choice?
A standard porta potty is the wrong choice in 4 cases: guests who use wheelchairs, a formal wedding where guests expect a flush and a sink, a food event with no separate hand washing, and a spot behind a gate narrower than 48 inches. Each case has a better unit or a simple add-on.
| Situation | Why standard falls short | Better choice |
|---|---|---|
| A guest or worker uses a wheelchair or walker | The PJN3 door and floor are not built for a wheelchair. | Wheelchair-accessible porta potty |
| Wedding or shower with dressed-up guests | No flush and no sink. | Deluxe flushing unit with sink |
| Food served, kids eating, crew handling chemicals | Sanitizer only; no soap and water. | Add a hand-wash station |
| Large formal event with power on site | Guests may expect lights, a mirror and climate control. | Restroom trailer |
| Backyard behind a 36-inch gate | The 43.5-inch unit will not pass. | Place it out front, by the driveway |
How is a standard porta potty serviced?
Every standard porta potty is pumped, pressure-washed, sanitized and restocked at our Denton yard before delivery. A 1–3 day event unit needs no mid-event service under normal use. A jobsite or long-term unit gets 1 service visit every week, included in the 28-day rate, with a dated ticket hung inside the door.
- Pump the 60-gallon holding tank with the vacuum truck.
- Charge the tank with fresh deodorizing chemical.
- Scrub and sanitize the seat, urinal, walls, latch and floor.
- Restock toilet paper and hand sanitizer.
- Check the latch, vent and footing, then sign the service ticket.
When to add a second weekly service
- Crews of 11–20 workers on a 40-hour week.
- June to September, when Denton's average July high is about 96°F and heat speeds up odor.
- Multi-day gatherings with heavy use, such as family reunions or tournaments.
Extra service visits are added per visit and show on your invoice as their own line.
Where should I put a standard porta potty?
Put a standard porta potty on level, firm ground within about 25 feet of where the truck parks. Clear a spot about 5 by 5 feet, with 3 feet open on the door side. Grass, gravel, dirt, concrete and asphalt all work. Keep the standard unit off sidewalks and streets, which need a right-of-way permit.
- Pick the flattest spot. A sloped driveway can tip the unit or swing the door shut.
- Face the door away from the party but toward a lit path if guests stay after dark.
- Mark the spot with a cone, flag or sign. Nobody needs to be home.
- Warn us about obstacles: gate codes, low cable lines, sprinkler heads and parked cars.
- Leave the service side reachable within about 25 feet of the pump truck on long rentals.
- Place it once. A used unit stays put until it is pumped.
