Standard, Plus, and Extreme Material Comparison

We have carefully selected our materials and manufacturing partners with quality, performance, and durability in mind. All properly installed GenTent editions perform in the same high winds, snow load and precipitation levels. We currently offer the Standard, Plus, and Extreme versions of the GenTent; where the Extreme is made here in the United States by the same company that makes products for the military. The Plus and Extreme will have a lower temperature cold crack ratings as compared to the Standard edition, -32° and -45° C respectively. Both the Plus and Extreme editions also have a UV treatment which will make it more durable to prolonged sun exposure. The Standard Edition canopy and all accessories will carry a 1-year warranty at no additional cost. The Plus Edition will upgrade your canopy or kits' warranty to a 2-year warranty, and the Extreme edition carries a 3-year warranty.

 

We recommend the Extreme Edition if:

  • Extended Warranty is important for your usage
  • Your generator is stored outdoors year round
  • Temperatures fall below -10F for long periods of time
  • You live in an excessively hot or arid climate
  • USA Manufacturing is important
