How many
Requirements vary by event type, permit and jurisdiction. Check the conditions attached to your own permit, and tell us the number you have been asked to provide.
Accessible units
ADA-Accessible Restrooms
A wheelchair-accessible unit with a wide door, no step up and enough interior room to turn. Public events and most permitted job sites need at least one, so it is worth raising accessibility when you first call rather than after the order is placed.
What you get
The detail, plainly.
Everything worth knowing before you pick up the phone.
- Entry
- Extra-wide door with a flush, ground-level threshold. No step and no ramp needed.
- Interior
- Open floor area sized for a wheelchair to enter, turn and exit. Support rails fitted.
- Placement
- Needs a firm, level approach — packed gravel or paving rather than soft turf or a slope.
- Planning
- Public-facing events and permitted sites commonly require accessible provision. Check your own permit conditions.
- Typical uses
- Festivals, public parks, municipal works, school and community events, larger job sites.
Placement
Getting the approach right matters more than the unit.
An accessible unit parked at the end of a gravel track is not accessible. The path to the door decides whether the unit actually works, so it is worth walking the route before we deliver.
- Firm, level surface from the parking or path to the door
- No lip, kerb or cable run across the approach
- Room alongside the door to manoeuvre, not just in front
- Sited near the main route rather than tucked out of sight
Planning
Working out what you need
Where they go
Accessible units belong on the main circulation route with the other restrooms, not in a separate corner. Separating them defeats the purpose.
Pair with handwashing
If your other restrooms have handwash stations alongside, the accessible unit needs equivalent provision on the same firm approach.
Questions
Answers before you call.
What makes a portable restroom ADA-accessible?
The practical differences are a wider door, a flush ground-level entry with no step, enough clear floor space inside for a wheelchair to turn, and support rails. The approach to the unit matters just as much — a firm, level path with no lip.
Do I need an ADA unit at my event?
Public events and many permitted job sites are expected to provide accessible facilities, but the specific requirement depends on your permit and jurisdiction. Check the conditions on your own permit and tell us what you have been asked to provide.
Can the accessible unit go anywhere on site?
It needs a firm, level surface and a clear approach — packed gravel or paving rather than soft grass or a slope. Tell us about the ground when you book and we will work out placement with you.
Need an accessible unit?
Mention accessibility when you call and we will confirm placement and the approach along with the rest of the order.
