GenTent is engineered as a safety product. Unlike many low-cost covers which can be found under $50, GenTent running covers meet strict fire-retardant standards, (NFPA 701). Many inexpensive look alike products use flammable, non–fire resistant materials, and can pose a greater risk to your generator than be a help. GenTent and Covered by GenTent products are tested and certified NFPA-rated Generator Tents.
GenTent is a small business based in New Hampshire, and all our kits are assembled in America. We invest in premium materials; multi-layer vinyl, marine-grade coatings, rip-stop fabrics, and dual catalyst frame rods; to ensure each kit withstands harsh conditions like wind, rain, snow, UV, and extreme cold.
When you choose GenTent, you’re getting the safest, longest-lasting generator running cover on the market. Our products have been tested for extreme heat and cold, and rated to withstand forecast winds up to 70 mph, 18″ snow loads, and hurricane-force precipitation (up to 12” of rain per hour).
GenTent price reflects American assembly, ongoing hardware improvements, and genuine dedication to quality and safety; not to mention supporting a U.S. small business!
