Enid Porta Pros keeps a standard portable toilet on site for 100 to 350 dollars a day while your temporary power pole goes in, but we don't pull the electrical permit or wire the pole ourselves. That part goes through a licensed electrician and the city, and it needs to happen before your dumpster, fence and portable restroom rental show up so the whole site sequences properly.
What is a temporary power pole?
A temporary power pole, sometimes called a construction pole or spider box pole, is a freestanding pole with a meter base and breaker panel that gives a job site power before permanent utility service exists. Builders in Enid use them to run saws, lights and small equipment during framing and early construction. A 200 amp temporary power pole is a common size for a single-family build. Pole placement matters for the rest of your site layout, since it competes for space with your temporary fence rental, your roll-off dumpster rental pad, and any light tower rental you're running after dark. We coordinate delivery timing for the sanitation and containment side, but the pole itself is an electrician's install, inspected by the utility before it's energized.
How much does temporary power pole installation cost?
Installation cost depends on the electrician, the amp size and how far the pole sits from the utility connection point, and none of that runs through Enid Porta Pros, so we won't quote a number here. What we can tell you is how the rest of your site budget usually shapes up, since dumpsters, toilets and fencing all get planned around the same footprint. A standard portable toilet runs in the range below, and knowing that helps you plan total site cost even though the pole itself is a separate line item.
| service | day | week | month |
|---|---|---|---|
| standard toilet | 100-350 | 130-500 | 125-325 |
| dumpster (10-30 yd typical) | 51-112 | 426-778 | 91-500 |
| chain link fence | 30-75 | -- | -- |
Check the dumpster rental cost page and the temporary fence cost page for the full breakdown by size. If you're pricing out toilets specifically, the porta potty rental cost guide covers daily, weekly and monthly rates side by side.
Where should a temporary power pole go on site?
Set it close to the panel location but clear of vehicle paths, delivery routes and material staging. A roll-off delivery needs about 60 feet of straight clearance behind the truck, so keep the pole out of that lane if you're also ordering a construction dumpster rental. Think about your porta potty placement guide at the same time. Toilets, handwashing stations and the power pole all want to sit near the crew's daily work zone without blocking equipment turns. OSHA 1926.51(c) sets toilet counts for construction crews at one facility per 20 workers, so bigger jobs in Enid need more units clustered near the pole, not scattered across the lot. If you're running a handwashing station rental too, group it with the toilets rather than the power drop, since crews use both together after breaks and before eating.
For projects north of town, a job near North Enid sits about 3.5 miles from our Enid yard, and sites toward Waukomis, roughly 10.6 miles south, still fall inside our normal delivery window for toilets and dumpsters even if the power pole contractor is separate. We serve the wider region listed on our service areas page.
Do I need a permit for a temporary power pole?
Permitting and inspection requirements for temporary power vary by project and aren't something we verify or handle. Confirm requirements directly with the city before your electrician schedules the install. For comparison, portable toilet placement in the public right of way also needs confirming with the city; see our porta potty permit requirements page for that side of it.
Can Enid Porta Pros install my temporary power pole?
No. We handle portable sanitation, dumpsters, fencing and storage, not electrical work. Hire a licensed electrician for the pole itself. We're happy to schedule your portable toilet rental or storage container rental around their install date so the site stays organized.
How many amps do I need for a construction site?
It depends on your equipment load. A 200 amp pole covers most residential framing crews; larger commercial sites may need more. Your electrician sizes this based on tools, lighting and any temporary HVAC running on site.
What else does a construction site need besides power?
Most sites need toilets, a dumpster and often fencing. Check how many porta potties do I need and OSHA portable toilet requirements to plan counts, then add a 10 yard dumpster rental or larger depending on debris volume.
Can I get a quote for site services in Enid?
Yes. Request a quote for toilets, dumpsters, fencing or storage, and we'll build a delivery schedule around your other contractors, including whoever handles your power pole. Reach us through contact with your site address and timeline.
