Portable Generator Enclosure Plans

Build an all Metal Framed Generator Enclosure for about $50.00*

This all-metal portable generator enclosure is made to protect your generator against weather damage. We keep our designs simple and cost effective, never forgetting your needs. Our plans include a materials list with the majority of the materials available at most home stores.

 

The All Metal Portable Generator Enclosure Features:

  • Cost Effective Simple Design - The all-metal generator enclosure is designed to sit on-top and cover the generator. The shed is lifted off to fuel the generator and to provide other maintenance. The generator can be moved out of storage to a well-vented area when it is being used.
  • Designed To Fit Your Generator - Email us today to receive a quote and receive answers to any questions you may have.
  • Dimensions: The outer dimensions of the shed are 4'-2" wide, 36" deep and 36" Tall.
  • Portable Design - This generator enclosure is built using lightweight metal framing studs and corrugated roofing. Its light weight allows you to move it to the generator location.
  • Venting - The metal generator enclosure is vented in three ways: 1) comes with a two-inch opening around the box where it rests on the ground, 2) a 1 1/2" opening just below the roof panel on the two shorter ends of the shed to allow air to flow from the ground up past the generator and out below the roof, and 3) metal screen that is positioned in front of the generator exhaust port.
  • Weather Protection - This small generator shed is designed to allow you to run your shed outdoors with limited protection. By necessity, the open floor and generous venting provides openings where some water may enter the enclosure. This Shed is not 100% waterproof.
