A temporary power pole gives a construction site metered electricity before permanent service exists, usually running 200 amp service to trailers, tools and lighting. North Port Porta Pros arranges the pole and coordinates the site work; the utility company still handles the meter connection itself.
North Port Porta Pros is a portable sanitation and site services company first. We do not sell or install temporary power poles ourselves, and that's worth saying plainly instead of pretending otherwise. What we do well is everything else a construction site in North Port needs running alongside that pole: portable toilets rated for job sites, roll-off dumpsters, temporary fencing, and light towers that plug into the same service once it's live. If you're searching "temporary power pole installation cost" or "temporary power pole diagram," an electrician licensed for utility-side work is who you need for the pole itself. We're the crew that handles what surrounds it.
Most sites pulling a temporary power pole also need sanitation, waste, and site security running at the same time, and that's where we come in. A standard porta potty rental runs in the same price range whether you need it for a day or a full month, and OSHA 1926.51(c) sets the ratio: one toilet for 20 or fewer workers, scaling up as crew size grows. If your crew is small now and growing once power goes live, our guide on how many units you need walks through the math. Pair that with a construction dumpster for debris, since OSHA 1926.25 requires job sites to keep work areas clear of scrap. Add temporary fencing around the pole and any exposed panels, and GFCI protection per OSHA 1926.404(b)(1)(ii) matters once that circuit is live and tools are plugged in.
| item | day | week | month |
|---|---|---|---|
| standard toilet | $100-$350 | $130-$500 | $125-$325 |
| construction dumpster | $51-$112 | $426-$778 | $500 |
| temporary fencing | $30-$75 | -- | -- |
These are typical bands for porta potty rental in North Port, not power pole pricing, since we don't sell that service. A monthly rental makes sense for longer builds; per-day pricing fits short-term punch list work. Delivery is billed separately and lands between $100 and $500 depending on timing and distance.
We don't install poles, so we can't quote that work, but we can point you toward what's next door. Sites in Warm Mineral Springs, about 6.0 miles west of North Port, and Plantation, about 14.6 miles west, run similar setups with the same utility coordination. A licensed electrician handles the pole itself, and your utility provider handles the meter. Once power's confirmed, call us back for portable restrooms, handwashing stations, and storage containers to round out the site.
Permit rules for pole placement vary by project and need confirming directly with North Port's building department. We're not the source for that. What we can confirm is our own service: sanitation, fencing, dumpsters and storage don't typically carry the same permitting burden, though placement in the right of way is worth checking too. See our porta potty permit guide for that side of things.
200 amp service is common on residential and light commercial builds, enough for trailers, saws, and lighting. Larger commercial sites may need more. That's a question for your electrician and utility provider, not for us. We'll handle everything running on the ground around it.
Yes. Many sites run a light tower independently of pole power, especially before permanent service is connected. It's a separate rental from us and doesn't depend on the pole being live yet, which makes it useful for early-phase site work.
Book sanitation, fencing and dumpsters as soon as you have a site date, not after the pole is installed. Lead time protects your schedule. Request a quote through our contact page once you know rough crew size and site duration.
