What restrooms work best for a film shoot in Clovis?
It depends on the scene. Background crew on a closed set usually gets standard porta potty rental units, each about 44 by 48 inches on the ground with a 60 to 70 gallon holding tank, tucked behind a truck or a tent line where they won't show in frame. Cast and department heads usually want something nicer. That's where a restroom trailer rental earns its cost: real flush fixtures, running water, and a door that doesn't bang in the middle of a take. For a short shoot day, a 2 stall restroom trailer covers a small crew; bigger productions lean toward a 4 stall restroom trailer or the 8 stall restroom trailer when call sheets run past fifty people. If a producer wants something closer to a green room, look at the luxury restroom trailer option. Every location shoot in Clovis needs power run to lights, monitors and sometimes the trailer itself, and productions filming away from base camp often pair a temporary power pole or a portable generator rental film crews already carry with a light tower rental for night exteriors. OSHA 1926.51(a)(1) requires an adequate supply of potable water at any place of employment, and a film set counts, so a water hookup or holding tank needs to be part of the plan from day one, not an afterthought on shoot day.
How many units does a film crew need in Clovis?
OSHA 1926.51(c)(1) sets the baseline: one toilet for 20 workers or fewer, then one toilet and one urinal per 40 workers as headcount climbs past that, and one per 50 once you're above 200 on set. A crew of 35 with background extras easily clears that first threshold, so plan for at least two units plus one ADA-compliant unit. ADA Standards section 213.2 requires that at least 5 percent of clustered single-user units be accessible, with a minimum of one, which matters on a call sheet with cast members who need it. Our ADA accessible porta potty units meet the 60 inch turning circle called out in ADA Standards section 304.3.1 and the 32 inch clear door opening in section 404.2.3, both worth checking against a trailer or tight backlot location before trucks arrive. If you're not sure how many units a specific call sheet needs, the how many porta potties do I need guide walks through headcount math, and the OSHA portable toilet requirements page breaks the ratio table down further. Multi-day location shoots in Clovis often benefit from switching to monthly porta potty rental pricing once the schedule runs past a couple of weeks, since day rates add up fast against a flat monthly number.
Can we get restrooms delivered same day for a Clovis location shoot?
Often, yes, especially for standard units, though trailers and multi-stall setups need more lead time to schedule delivery trucks and confirm site access. Locations near Tarpey Village, about 3.3 miles south of central Clovis, or Old Fig Garden, roughly 8.5 miles west, are within normal service range, and our emergency porta potty rental option covers last-minute call sheet changes when a location swap happens overnight. A roll-off delivery truck needs about 60 feet of straight clearance behind it, which matters when a set dresses a narrow alley or a residential driveway for exteriors, so scout that clearance before confirming a delivery window. For sets doing their own construction, like building facades or dressing a lot, a construction dumpster rental or 10 yard dumpster rental keeps set debris off camera and clears fast between scenes; OSHA 1926.25 calls for scrap and debris to be cleared from work areas, which applies just as much to a backlot build as a job site. If the production needs to lock down a perimeter for a closed set, temporary fence rental or crowd control barrier rental keeps foot traffic clear of takes, with barricades meeting OSHA 1926.202's ANSI D6.1 standard. Productions running hair, makeup or catering trailers on location sometimes need a handwashing station rental nearby too, since 29 CFR 1910.141(d)(2) requires soap and towels or a hand drying device at any washing facility, not just sanitizer.
| unit | day | week | month |
|---|---|---|---|
| standard | $100 - $350 | $130 - $500 | $125 - $325 |
| deluxe | $85 - $1200 | $150 - $290 | -- |

| trailer | $175 - $2500 | $1650 - $1650 | -- |
How far in advance should we book restrooms for a shoot?
Book standard units at least a few days out and trailers a week or more ahead, since trailer delivery trucks need scheduling coordination. Multi-day shoots or locations with tight access, like a narrow lot near Mayfair, 7.2 miles southwest, benefit from extra lead time to confirm clearance and power needs.
Do you deliver restrooms to remote filming locations outside city limits?
Yes, service extends to locations around Clovis including Fort Washington, about 8.0 miles northwest, and Sanger, 16.1 miles southeast. Check the service areas page for full coverage, and request a porta potty rental in Clovis quote with your exact address for an accurate delivery estimate.
What's included with a restroom trailer rental for a shoot?
Trailers typically include flush toilets, running water, interior lighting and climate control depending on model. Power and water hookups aren't always included, so confirm those details before delivery; see restroom trailer rental cost for what drives the price up or down.
Can we get handwashing stations without portable toilets?
Yes, standalone handwashing units are available separately from toilet rentals. They're common on sets with catering or makeup stations; check portable sink rental or hand sanitizer station rental for options that fit a smaller footprint.
Do we need a permit to place restrooms on a Clovis film location?
Placement in the public right of way needs confirming with the city; permit rules vary by exact address and location type. See porta potty permit requirements or contact us directly through request a quote before locking in a location.
