I have a customer in need of a name for a new item they are planning on starting. They are in the portable toilet business. The new item they are needing to promote is a storage/work shed with a small port-a-potty built in. Kinda cool I guess. These sheds are 10' x 18' with a small porch on the front. A wall divides the "potty" section from the rest of the shed. Thought why not, maybe some of you folks would like to have some fun with this

Would certainly give Rapid a wider colour palette to work with.

You guys and gals are awesome....I can't stop laughing. How am I supposed to keep a straight face when presenting this client with layout ideas. This one is no dought going to be the funnest client yet. It all starts with a 16 foot banner that will be hung on the back of one of these sheds and pulled in the towns Forth of July parade!

no contributions from me, but as for voting... stool shed is great but I also thing stow-n-go is a winner, or head shed (shed-n-head could also work)
It's good to know there's a place to "go" but as for the "stool" well that is a thought I'd just as soon leave behind, therefore the "go" part is much more marketable IMO

Hahaha... I like the Shed/Head, Head/Shed thing ...
But really, this has got to be one of the stupidest things I ever heard of. Maaaaayyyybe if the same thing was marketed as a hunting cabin, play house, pool house .... maaaayyyybe ... but a tool shed with a bucket of $#@* and a urinal cake in the back of it, yah right.
Does he service the bucket for a fee too? I'll save my money and go before I need to grab a shovel.

The idea is one of the dumbest I've ever heard of. I won't say it's stupid because the guy will probably make more money than I've ever or will ever see. Can you imagine owning one of these things down here in the Deep South and needing to spend a couple of hours in it during August to repair the lawnmower?
I can think of nothing worse than to smell "that smell" as I work on a broken bicycle or fix a leg on the coffee table.
Most of you have been to events, fairs, etc. where port-a-potties are used. Just think, this way you can have a permanent one in the backyard and the smell would always be with you!! NO THANKS!!

OH, I vote for Stool Shed !!!

I think that these are for job sites. Why would a port-a-pottie guy sell these. These are perfect for construction.
As far voting goes... I think "Lav Shack" was the best... well, funniest anyways. "Stool Shed" is good but a little to graphic.
What will they think of next?

I was thinking job sites too, or like the outdoor swap meet & other events where some basic traffic control, or generator etc. might be used again the next day or two of the event.
I also don't think they would "sell" them. It's probably a rental deal, & yes, the dealing with the bucket would be included.
I missed the Lav Shack the first read. Good one Rapid!
1. Stool shed, closely followed by Monte's Snooze & Loo's, and Jilly's Tinker 'n' Stinker both are a bit too unflattering, but have great alliteration for the poets!
well done folks!
Different twist- for marketing, alliteration, & noticability: paint them all red and call them the Red Shed. Simple, not really funny, but mighty obvious, and a 'cleaner' image and all the better if the maker is called Ed, Fred,or Ted.

I still like my POTTY KING. Oh well. I too was thinking construction sites. Also was thinking what if they put ashower in it with one of those instant HOT WATER things that hotels use...or solar heated water. But than you'd want to be the first in line.

Hey! 10x18 could be a small shop. How high is the ceiling? And a porch!
If this is to be a backyard shed, you may have to check with zoning. Around here the limit is 100 sqft. But if it is to be a portable unit, don't they already make them and call them "Trailers"? How about "Scent Tent".
