WHAT CAN I USE TO COVER MY GENERATOR IN THE RAIN?

Canopy shade covers from SBF INTERIORS AND OUTDOOR SOLUTIONS LIMITED offer the highest level of durability and safety, though it’s recommended to have these enclosures professionally installed to ensure that they are waterproof.

DOES A GENERATOR NEED TO BE COVERED IN THE RAIN?

To operate a generator more safely in the rain, it needs to be covered or enclosed. However, the generator needs good air circulation so it doesn’t overheat and so carbon monoxide emissions do not build up. Therefore, not all coverings or enclosures will do, it’s always advisable to consult the help of professional canopy installers like SBF INTERIORS AND OUTDOOR SOLUTIONS LIMITED for the best recommendations. In addition, the generator should sit on a flat, dry surface.

CAN YOU LEAVE A GENERATOR OUTSIDE COVERED?

Do not leave your generator out to be exposed to the elements. The first step in making sure your generator works in the cold is by not leaving it out there in the first place. Use a cover/canopy or ventilated shelter when in use and put away into safe storage for long periods of inactivity.

CAN I RUN A GENERATOR UNDER A CANOPY?

To protect it from moisture, we recommend operating it on a dry surface under an open, canopy-like structure.
