For more than a decade, GenTent has developed engineered portable generator running covers and practical safety resources intended to support safer generator operation during rain, snow, wind, severe storms, and extended power outages.
GenTent is the first associate member of the Portable Generator Manufacturers’ Association and works with generator manufacturers, safety organizations, standards developers, and government stakeholders to advance clearer consumer guidance and safer generator practices.
GenTent products and materials have been independently evaluated for flammability, heat, rain, wind, snow, airflow, exhaust clearance, and compatibility with built-in generator safety systems.
Review GenTent’s assessment of the materials, fire ratings, ignition behavior, flame spread, and continued burning observed across generator tents and running covers sold to consumers.

Generator tents and running covers are already sold for use around operating portable generators, but products within the category can use significantly different materials, components, and safety claims.
UL 2201A is a proposed manufacturer-neutral standard intended to establish objective and repeatable minimum flammability requirements for the materials and complete assemblies used in these products.
GenTent invites fire officials, generator manufacturers, retailers, safety advocates, and other affected stakeholders to review and consider the proposal.
