FAQ: Will the GenTent keep the unit cooler when not running and no shade available? | GenTent Safety Canopies

Will the GenTent keep the unit cooler when not running and no shade available?

Yes, GenTent is specifically engineered to allow air to circulate freely around your generator, even when it’s off and there's no external shade. Here’s how it helps keep your unit cooler:

  1. Vented Cap Design
    The vented canopy cap allows hot air to rise and escape; helping to prevent heat buildup under the cover.

  2. Elevated Canopy Clearance
    There’s intentional space between the canopy and the generator, allowing for continuous airflow and helping to avoid heat soak.

  3. Reduced Condensation
    By not trapping air on or around the generator, GenTent reduces the chances of condensation forming; important for both the generator’s performance and longevity.

  4. Purpose-Driven Engineering
    GenTent’s design was carefully developed to:

    • Increase overall structural holding strength

    • Dissipate fumes after refueling

    • Promote continual airflow in all weather conditions

    • Even with the GenSkirt storage outside storage kit installed, heat escapes upward through natural convection, maintaining airflow and ventilation while the generator is in storage.
