Dimensions from the PolyJohn PJN3 product listing. PolyJohn does not publish a uses rating for the PJN3; for job sites, one unit per 10 workers on weekly service is the common planning figure.
Will a standard porta potty fit through my gate?
A standard porta potty needs a gate or path at least 48 inches wide, because the PJN3 is 43.5 inches wide and the driver needs room to steer the hand truck. The unit is 91 inches tall, so it cannot pass under a standard 80-inch doorway upright.
- Ground: firm and level, about 4 × 4 feet. Driveways, gravel and pavers are ideal.
- Truck reach: within 25 feet of where the service truck parks, so the hose reaches the tank.
- Clearance: no overhead wires or branches lower than 8 feet above the unit.
- Wind: on open Petaluma lots, we stake or strap the unit against afternoon gusts.
- Street spots: a unit in the street needs a City of Petaluma encroachment permit.
Rainy-season tip: from November to April, Petaluma clay goes soft after rain. A unit set on bare dirt can lean within a week. A sheet of plywood or a gravel pad keeps it level.
When is a standard unit the right choice?
A standard unit is right for construction crews, home remodels, backyard parties and events under 4 hours. A standard unit is the wrong choice when guests expect running water, when a wheelchair user will attend, or when a wedding wants a finished look. Then pick a flushing unit, an accessible unit or a trailer.
| Situation | Standard unit? | Better choice |
|---|---|---|
| Framing or roofing crew of 8 | Yes, 1 unit, weekly service | — |
| Backyard birthday, 60 guests, 4 hours | Yes, 2 units | Add a handwashing station if food is served |
| Wedding, 150 guests | Works for staff | Flushing units or a trailer for guests |
| Public event in a park | Most of the units | At least one wheelchair-accessible unit per cluster |
| Food booth or catering line | Not on its own | Add a handwashing station |

How is a standard porta potty serviced?
A standard porta potty on a rental longer than 7 days gets one service visit each week. The technician pumps the 60-gallon tank, adds fresh blue deodorizer, scrubs the seat, urinal and walls, and restocks toilet paper and sanitizer. Event units arrive cleaned and stocked.
Ten workers on a 40-hour week fill a standard tank in about a week, which is why weekly service is the default. Bigger crews or summer heat call for a second visit; ask for it when you book or any time during the rental.
How much is a standard porta potty rental in Petaluma?
A standard unit typically runs $185–$275 for a weekend event with delivery and pickup, or $195–$295 per 28-day cycle on a monthly rental with weekly service. Your quote lists every charge on its own line.
Does a standard porta potty have a sink?
A standard unit has a hand sanitizer dispenser, not a sink. Add a handwashing station or choose a flushing unit with a sink when food is served.
Is the door lockable?
The door has an inside latch with an occupied indicator. For job sites, we can fit a hasp so you can padlock the unit after hours.
Can I pick the color?
Colors depend on what is in the yard that day. Ask when you call. We usually have blue, gray and a few pink units.
How many people can use one standard unit?
One standard unit serves about 50 guests at a 4-hour event, or about 10 workers for a week between services.
