Porta Potty Rental for a Backyard or Graduation Party

There’s much to love about hosting a backyard or graduation party with your closest friends and family.  There’s only one problem: depending on how many guests you’re planning to invite, you might find that your property’s bathroom setup isn’t appropriate for the get-together. This could be because you only have one bathroom, which won’t be enough for the number of people at the party, or because you simply don’t want people walking throughout your property. Happily, there’s a solution, and that’s to rent a porta potty (or even a few) for your party. That’ll help provide your guests with easy access to bathroom facilities, all the while keeping your home in perfect condition. 

The Benefits of Renting a Porta Potty For a Party

Your property’s bathroom(s) were made to accommodate your immediate and perhaps a couple of guests; when you suddenly have dozens of people in your house, things can quickly become complicated. With cheap porta potty rentals for parties available, you can ensure your guests can go to the bathroom while minimizing (or eliminating) the time you have to spend cleaning your bathroom once the party is over. Renting a porta potty for a party also just helps the party to flow well. Rather than having to spend your time directing people to the bathroom, they’ll know exactly where to go, since it’ll be outside, near where the party is taking place.

Porta Potty Rental for a Party: When Does It Make Sense? 

Unsure if you actually need a porta potty rental for your party? There are times when it doesn’t make much sense; other times when it’s essentially a necessity. Mostly, it comes down to how many guests you have. If your party is expected to have more than 25 guests present at any one time, it can be worthwhile to look at porta potty rental options. It’s less necessary if people will be coming/going throughout the day, and you’re not expecting there to be any one moment where the party is busy. You’ll also need a porta potty rental for the party if the bathroom is inaccessible. For example, if you’re currently undertaking renovation work, or if you simply prefer that your guests don’t go to the inside part of your property.  

Backyard Party Porta Potty: How Many Do You Need?

If you’ve decided that a backyard party porta potty is right for you, then the next thing you’ll need to consider is how many porta potties you’ll need. One will probably be sufficient if there are under 75 people for a party that’s only expected to last a few hours. Once the guest list or party time increases, it’s worthwhile to consider adding a second. If you’re hosting a big party that involves 100+ guests and plenty of alcohol, it’s worth considering a multi-unit setup. Remember: it’s best to have too many porta potties, rather than not enough.  If you need some help figuring out how many units you need, click the ‘Unit Calculator’ button at the top of this page. Just input your number of guests and the number of hours the event will last, and you’ll get a quick, accurate answer. 

Different Types of Porta Potty Rental Options

If you pay a visit to the porta potty rental collection we offer here at John To Go, you’ll quickly learn that there are plenty of different types of porta potties available. Most will work for a party, but some will be more suitable than others, depending on the type of event you’re hosting.  If you’re planning a low-key, casual backyard party or graduation party, then a standard porta potty unit will suffice. They’re no frills, but they tend to work well for casual events. If you’re planning something a little more formal or upscale, then it’s worthwhile checking out our more premium porta potty rental options. You’ll also need to think about whether the porta potties (or at least one of them) needs to be ADA-accessible, especially if you have older guests coming to the event. 

When to Book a Backyard or Graduation Party Porta Potty Rental

As with most things, it’s generally advised to book early, especially if it’s a graduation party. With graduation events happening all over the same weekend, porta potty rentals tend to be in high demand. Booking early — say, a month or so before the event — ensures that you have a porta party secured well in advance. The same can generally be said for summer backyard parties, especially those over the 4th of July weekend. Out-of-season parties have a little more flexibility when it comes to booking, since demand will be lower. With that said, it’s best to work with a company that has a large inventory of porta potties available. At John To Go, we try our best to accommodate all the needs of our customers. If you’ve left it late to organize your graduation or backyard party porta potty rental, then get in touch. 

What’s Included In a Porta Potty Rental?

The best porta potty rental companies aim to make the process of adding a porta potty to your event as easy as possible.  You should find that everything is included in the rental. The company will be responsible for dropping off a fully clean porta potty that comes with all the supplies you need, demonstrating how to use it correctly, and then picking it up once the rental period is over. 

How to Choose the Right Porta Potty Rental for a Party 

As we said above, there’s no shortage of porta potty rental options available to property owners wishing to rent one for their event. So, how do you go about choosing the right one for your needs? Mostly it comes down to considering two things:
  • The level of luxury required
  • Any specific needs
Standard units are fine if it’s a small gathering of adult guests. Deluxe options are worth the extra if there are kids present (deluxe options are cleaner) or if the event is more formal. Deluxe options can include flushing and in-built sinks, which can make for a nicer guest experience. You might also need an ADA-accessible unit if you have guests with reduced mobility attending. 

Don’t Forget Hand Washing Stations

For units that don’t have built-in sinks, it can be worthwhile opting to add a hand washing station as an extra. This is particularly if there’s no outdoor sink/washing area, since otherwise guests will need to go into your home to find a sink. It’s easy to overlook hand washing stations, but it can be an important addition, especially if you’re serving food. In any case, your guests will value cleanliness — adding a hand washing station to your order (if not renting a porta potty with a sink included) shows that you care about their experience. 

Where to Place Your Weekend Porta Potty Rental

By renting a porta potty for your party, you’ll be making it as easy as possible for your guests to go to the bathroom. However, it’s also important to think about where the porta potty is placed on your property. While a porta potty rental offers convenience, it shouldn’t detract from the party. As a general rule, it should be located close enough to be easily accessible, but out of the way enough that people don’t pay attention to it throughout the party. First up, you’ll need to place the unit on flat, stable ground to work effectively, and the location you choose should also be readily accessible by the delivery team. It’s generally best to place the porta potty in a corner, away from eating areas. You can also consider utilizing any available privacy screens (such as trees/bushes, or temporary screens) for extra privacy.
