Storage cover or running tent?

The GenTent Open Frame Tent in Black is sold to stay on while the generator runs, per the listing. It keeps rain and snow off the outlets; the generator still sits outside, well away from the house.

A plain storage cover is cheaper and fine for the months between outages, but it has to come off before you pull the cord.

Great for you if…

  • Storms here come with rain or snow

Skip it if…

  • You'd rather wait for buyer reviews: none are captured for this listing yet
  • You only need it between outages: a plain storage cover costs less
  • You want the size in writing: the listing gives no range or dimensions

Size, fabric and fit

What the GenTent Open Frame Tent in Black listing names:

  • Stays on while it runs
  • Waterproof or water-resistant, per the listing

Check these figures against your generator's manual before you order.

Our take

The verdict

The best thing about the GenTent Open Frame Tent in Black is cover from rain and snow while it runs. No buyer reviews yet, so this GenTent generator tent has to win you over on paper. The catch with the GenTent: a cover that is almost the right size flaps in the wind, so measure first. We'd pick it if storms here come with rain or snow; otherwise, put it next to the GenTent Open Frame Tent in Gray first.

The one thing we'd check first

Before the GenTent Open Frame Tent in Black ships, check your generator's size: it is cut to one size, and handles and wheels add inches.

Before you buy

Measure the generator

Measure length, width and height with the handle and wheels on.

Running under it

Keep the exhaust side clear, the unit outside and well away from the house. Our CO safety and placement guide explains the distances.

Wind

A drawstring, straps or weights keep it on in a storm; check what the listing includes.
