Inverter Generator Covers for Safe Outdoor Operation
Whether you're powering your home during an outage or bringing quiet energy on the go, your inverter generator deserves year-round protection. GenTent® offers the industry’s leading inverter generator covers for running in rain, snow, and wind, now available in both standard and XL sizes.
The original GenTent Inverter Kit supports 1,000W to 11,000W fully encased inverter generators. The newly launched XL Inverter Kit extends that protection to larger chassis models up to 17,500 watts. These weatherproof, flame-retardant tents are engineered to fit generators without frame posts, including top brands like Generac, Champion, Westinghouse, DuroMax, Firman, and GENMAX.

Installation is fast and tool-free. Just Strap it, Frame it, Cover it™. Both inverter kits include a strap mounting system, fiberglass frame, and a rugged waterproof canopy tested to handle:

- Snow loads up to 18 inches or 55 pounds
- Rainfall of up to 12 inches per hour
