How many porta potties does a graduation party need?
A graduation open house with 100 guests over 4 hours needs 2 standard porta potties. Open houses that run 5 to 8 hours need 4 for 100 guests. Since guests come and go, total guests matters more than the number at one time. Add 1 hand washing station when food is served.
| Total guests | 4-hour open house | 6-hour open house |
|---|---|---|
| 50 | 1 | 2 |
| 100 | 2 | 4 |
| 150 | 3 | 6 |
| 200 | 4 | 8 |
When should I book for May and June?
Book graduation party porta potties 2 to 3 weeks ahead. Late May and early June Saturdays are the busiest weekends of spring, and many families share the same dates. Booking early also means the unit arrives Thursday or Friday, with time to place it right.
Where should the unit go in my yard?
Put the unit at the edge of the driveway or side yard, on level ground the truck can reach within 25 feet, downwind and at least 20 feet from the food table. Face the door away from the street for privacy. Drivers cannot carry units into fenced backyards.
