Is a wheelchair-accessible unit the same as ADA-compliant?
Not by itself. The 2010 ADA Standards require accessible toilet rooms to have a 60-inch diameter turning circle or a T-shaped turning space, grab bars and an accessible route. The unit supplies the interior. Level ground and an accessible path to the door are the renter's part. So we call our unit wheelchair-accessible, not ADA-compliant.
Will the accessible unit fit my existing pad or space?
The PolyJohn Comfort XL needs a firm, level space of at least 6 feet by 6 feet, plus a clear approach to the 32-inch-wide door. Most single-car driveway aprons and park pads fit it. It is 62 inches wide, so backyard placement often needs a double gate.
How much is a wheelchair-accessible porta potty in Frisco?
A wheelchair-accessible porta potty in Frisco costs about $250–$325 per 28-day cycle with weekly service, or about $250–$375 for a one-weekend event with delivery and pickup. Pairing it with standard units on one order lowers the delivery cost per unit.

Questions renters ask us
Do you have handicap-accessible porta potties? Are they ADA compliant?
Yes. Dennis Rental Works rents the PolyJohn Comfort XL, which PolyJohn describes as a handicap-accessible portable toilet with a ground-level, barrier-free floor. Whether a full setup meets the 2010 ADA Standards also depends on level ground and an accessible route, so we call it wheelchair-accessible, not ADA-compliant.
What are the dimensions of your handicap unit? Will it fit my existing pad?
The PolyJohn Comfort XL measures 62 inches wide, 62 inches deep and 91 inches tall, and weighs about 240 pounds empty. The door opening is about 32 inches wide. A pad at least 6 feet by 6 feet, plus room to approach the door, fits it.
Do I need a handicap porta potty at my event?
Where accessible restrooms are required, the 2010 ADA Standards section 213.2 calls for at least 5% of portable units in each cluster, and no fewer than one, to be accessible. Dennis Rental Works recommends at least 1 accessible unit for any event of 100 or more guests.
How much is a handicap-accessible porta potty?
A wheelchair-accessible unit usually runs about $250–$325 per 28-day cycle with weekly cleaning, or about $250–$375 for a one-weekend event. Delivery and pickup are included in event pricing and added once on jobsite pricing.
Can I switch to you from my current porta potty company?
Yes. Many customers switch to Dennis Rental Works because a past company missed service visits. Tell us your current unit's size, and we deliver the same footprint on the day your old company picks up. Your pad, screening or anchor spot stays the same.
Do you rent porta potties year-round for parks, trails or farms?
Yes. Dennis Rental Works keeps units on parks, trails, sports fields, ranches and church grounds all year on 28-day cycles with weekly service. Seasonal sites can add a second unit for busy months and send it back in the slow season.
