GENTENT ON FOX & FRIENDS FIRE SAFETY SEGMENT WITH SKIP BEDELL


What is a Generator Tent or Running Cover?

Portable generators are a must when storms hit or the power goes out, but they come with serious safety risks — some generators produce heat over 1000 degrees!
GenTent is the industry leading NFPA-Rated Generator Tent which self-attaches to the generator and keeps your generator running in any wet weather.
Independently tested, and rated for up to 70 MPH winds, 18” snow loads, and up to 12” of rain an hour. GenTent outfits over 3,000 different generators.

GenTent Safety Canopies - NFPA Rated Portable Generator Running Covers

During wet weather power outages, portable generator owners are left with conflicting guidance on how to operate their portable generator safely:

Carbon monoxide is deadly, so do NOT run your generator indoors or in your garage - GenTent Safety Canopies

So it's easy to see why they often end up using their generators in unsafe locations, exposing themselves to fire hazards and other risks.

That is where GenTent comes in. GenTent Safety Canopies allow portable generators to run safely in nearly any wet weather by self-attaching to portable and inverter generators.

GenTent Fire Safety vs. The Competitors

GenTent® vs. Competitors: Fire Safety


GenTent Safety Canopies takes portable generator and fire safety very seriously. Here's how we smoke our competitors in fire safety standards:

    • NFPA-Rated Canopy Material: GenTent's material is independently tested and rated for flame retardance.This means our product materials will not auto-ignite even when exposed to high temperature surfaces typical of a hot muffler
    • UL-94 V2 Flame Retardant Hardware: We use flame retardant hardware that won't melt or heat up when the generator is running.
    • Never Blocks Generator Exhaust: Unlike some competitors, the GenTent's tent shape never blocks the exhaust, meaning that we maintain portable generator cooling profile and ventilation standards.
    • Keeps Your Generator Dry: Water and electricity create electrocution, generator damage, and fire hazards. GenTent's vinyl material and seams create a much more waterproof cover compared to our competitors' material and construction.
    • Endorsed by National and Government Organizations: Unlike competitor generator running covers, GenTent is endorsed by organizations like the Portable Generator Manufacturers' Association (PGMA), U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC), National Association of State Fire Marshals (NASFM), and more.

GenTent® Portable Generator Fire Safety Tips


GenTent Safety Canopies takes portable generator and fire safety very seriously. Here's how we smoke our competitors in fire safety standards:

    • Run Generators No Less Than 20ft From Any Building: Always keep your generator at least 20 feet from any door, window, vent, or flammabile materials like those in a deck, shed, or garage.
    • Never Refuel a Hot Generator: Always turn your generator off and allow to cool before refueling. Refueling a hot generator risks igniting any spilled fuel.
    • Use a Proper Wet Weather Running Cover: Use a generator tent like GenTent® with NFPA fire retardant materials to avoid weather related fire & electrical risks.
    • Check Your Cords and Wires: Only use heavy-duty outdoor rated three-prong extension cords. Always check for cuts and tears.
    • Consider Your Exhaust: Point your generator exhaust away from vents, windows, and anything flammable.
