Generator Enclosure
Complete enclosure for your portable generator.
The new PowerShelter III is designed to house your portable generator outdoors for both storage and operation. This product has some unique features that are not offered by anyone else. Overall dimensions are 74" L x 33" D x 34" H providing ample room for most portable generator sizes. This is so much better than all those other schemes to protect your portable generator from bad weather, which is usually when you need it the most! No more struggling with trying to adapt a garden shed, or making a special removable roof, or even attempting to use a tent. The PowerShelter III comes assembled ready to drop on your pad.

PowerShelter III is currently shipping fully assembled and ready to drop on your pad.
If the sound attenuated option is ordered the hoods are shipped inside for attachment in the field.
New improved paint process now uses high grade automotive finish. The basic 38 named colors are mixed to match the RUST-OLEUM® colors available in 12oz spray cans at most retailers. This makes for easy availability of touch-up paint if it is ever necessary. We also can match any paint sample color chip mailed to us or any of the thousands of PANTONE® colors. Paint finish is optional.
DISCLAIMER
We have designed this product with safety in mind. However,
whenever fuel is used to operate an engine generator there is always a risk due to fire,
exhaust gases and electric shock. This enclosure will not completely eliminate those
risks. If a fire develops, metal enclosures such as this product will not contribute to the spread
of the fire.
WARNING -- failure to
follow the directions for construction and use of this product can cause serious injury to
persons and property. Read all directions fully before installing this
product and use only as directed. We DO NOT recommend that this
kit be installed in any space that is part of a dwelling or attached to a
dwelling.
LOCATION
If you need to prepare the mounting pad before delivery view the pad layout here
and locate the pad as follows:
* within easy wiring distance to your transfer switch
* away from bedrooms and other rooms where engine noise could be annoying
* at least 5 feet from any building opening such as windows, doors,
vents, soffit vents, etc.
* at least 5 feet from structures having combustible walls
* at least 5 feet from combustible material
* at least 5 feet clearance to any overhead structure, overhang, or tree
* not under a deck
* where exhaust cannot accumulate in any nearby occupied area
* allows space to open front door and to move generator in and out
* meets any additional requirements of your local codes and Fire Marshal
Request our document on Generator Placement which we will send you by email if
you will be installing a pad before delivery of the PowerShelter III.

A FEW MORE DETAILS
The shipping weight of the basic enclosure with pallet is 180 lbs. With
sound attenuation the shipping weight is 200 lbs. The pallet weight is 68
lbs. The enclosure is shipped with a temporary brace across the front
opening and with this in place it can be lifted off the pallet for placement on
your pad. To save the lift gate delivery fee four people can easily lift
the shipment off the truck.
If you elect to pickup this product in Mechanicsville VA (near Richmond) you
will need a truck or trailer with a bed large enough to accommodate the 79"
x 37" pallet. The basic version will also fit in some vans if we
replace the pallet with a single sheet of sheathing (outside dimensions
75"L x 33"W x 35"H). Pickup must be by appointment only. We are
required by law to add Virginia sales tax even if you are coming from out of
state. And we will need to bill your credit card when assembly is complete
and order is ready for pickup even though pickup may be later.
