100-person family reunion: how many ADA units are needed?

The ADA 5 percent cluster rule requires at least one ADA-compliant portable toilet for every 20 standard or deluxe units at a single location, but it applies to the cluster, not the total guest count. For a 100-person family reunion with elderly attendees, you likely need one ADA unit regardless of how many standard units you rent.

Planning the order: Start with the total unit count for 100 people. A four-hour reunion with food might need three to four standard units based on event guidelines. Alcohol or longer duration would require adding more units. The ADA rule means if you place all units together, one ADA unit satisfies the requirement for that cluster. You could rent two standard units and one ADA unit, or ten standard units and one ADA unit, the rule is per cluster, not per unit ratio.

Placement and access: Choose level ground with clear truck access for delivery and service. Group the ADA unit with the others to form a single cluster, ensuring it has a 60-inch turning space as per ADA Standards. If guests are spread out, you might need multiple clusters, each with its own ADA unit, but for a typical reunion, one cluster suffices.
