Portable Generator Cover - Universal Kit (Standard, Grey) for Open Frame Generators
Category: porch shield generator cover
GenTent is a small business based in New Hampshire that prioritizes a customer-first approach to its products, safety, and service. The company's flagship product, GenTent, is engineered to keep generators safe for use and protected from damage, even in rain and severe wet weather.
The genesis of GenTent stemmed from the lack of affordable and viable products that would allow for the safe operation of a generator in rainy or wet conditions. A generator tent provides a solution by enabling users to safely store their power source outside, reducing the risk of carbon monoxide poisoning.
What sets GenTent apart is its patented, independently lab-tested, and multiply storm-proven design. The product is engineered to keep generators safe for use and protected from damage in rain, snow, and severe weather. The entire unit, comprising a flame-retardant (NFPA 701) canopy and component pieces, is made from 100% waterproof, dual-coated marine vinyl with welded seams.
GenTent is independently lab-tested and rated for up to 70 mph forecast winds, hurricane-force precipitation (12 inches per hour), and an 18-inch snow load (55 lbs). This ensures that users can confidently run their portable or inverter generator outside in rain, snow, or storms, without the worry of CO poisoning, electrocution, or generator damage.
The product's patented self-attaching system makes installation easy, requiring no tools. Users simply clamp the system onto the generator's existing frame, mount the dual cast fiberglass rods, and cover the frame with the waterproof canopy. This design maintains the generator's cooling profile while allowing for refueling with the GenTent mounted in place.
GenTent offers three product kits to accommodate different generator types: the Generator Universal Kit for open-frame generators, the Generator Inverter Kit for fully encased inverter generators, and the Generator XL Kit for larger portable generators.
The Universal Kit is designed for open-frame generators with perimeters ranging from 76 to 104 inches, while the Inverter Kit is suited for inverter generators of all sizes, from 1000 to 9500 watts. The XL Kit, on the other hand, is engineered for larger portable generators with perimeters ranging from 105 to 128 inches.
Regardless of the generator type, the GenTent products use the company's self-attaching clamps and strap mounting systems to securely connect to the generator's frame, accommodating both round and squared vertical posts. This adaptability allows the GenTent to be easily removed from the generator when not in use.
By providing a reliable and weatherproof solution, GenTent empowers users to safely operate their generators outside, even in the harshest conditions, ensuring that their families and investments are protected when they need emergency backup power the most.
