Party planning
The 50-guest rule in 60 seconds.
Brian Rental Works
The base rule
1 per 50
Plan 1 standard porta potty per 50 guests for a party up to 4 hours. It is the most common answer in our rental calls.
Longer party?
Always round up.
| Up to 4 hours | ×1 |
| Up to 6 hours | ×1.5 |
| Up to 8 hours | ×2 |
| Over 8 hours | ×2.5 |
Bar open?
Add 1 unit for every 4 units, rounded up. Drinks mean more trips to the restroom.
Serving food?
Plan at least 1 handwashing station per 4 toilets, with a minimum of 1. Each station serves 2 people at once.
Every guest
Include at least 1 wheelchair-accessible unit per cluster, and at least 5% of units. Confirm needs with your venue.
Worked example
150 ÷ 50 = 3 → ×1.5 = 4.5 → 5 units
+2 for alcohol = 7 units
Plus 1 wheelchair-accessible unit and 2 handwashing stations.
