GenTent® Safety Canopies today announced the launch of the Westinghouse WGenTent XL, a purpose-built generator running cover engineered specifically for Westinghouse’s largest open-frame portable generators. The WGenTent XL expands GenTent’s proven weather protection solutions across high-output generator platforms while incorporating advanced engineered mounting technology and severe weather performance ratings.
The WGenTent XL is designed for Westinghouse’s WGen20000 and WGen14500 series generators and delivers safe outdoor operation even in severe weather. Built for durability and reliability, the WGenTent XL enables operation in rain, snow, ice, sleet, and wind while maintaining proper airflow and exhaust clearance necessary for reliable generator performance.
“Generator technology and customer expectations have evolved, and our safety systems must evolve with them,”
said Brian Thomas, Director of Sales & Marketing at GenTent Safety Canopies. “Collaborating with the Westinghouse Outdoor Power team, we developed the WGenTent XL to deliver custom engineered strength and expanded weather performance to Westinghouse’s largest home backup systems, providing customers with reliable protection when they need it most.”
Purpose-Built for Westinghouse Portable Generators
The WGenTent XL features GenTent’s strengthened steel mounting system engineered for complex frame geometries and enhanced stability under load. The system installs directly to the generator frame with tool-free setup and requires no permanent modification.
Tested for Safety and Severe Weather
The WGenTent XL has undergone rigorous independent validation, confirming:
- Forecast winds up to 110 miles per hour
- Snow load resistance up to 20 inches of heavy, wet snow
- Precipitation shedding capacity greater than 18 inches of rain per hour
- Tool-free installation directly to the frame
- Engineered to withstand engine heat while maintaining safe airflow
These validated performance ratings provide confidence for homeowners, contractors, and emergency preparedness users who rely on their generators during critical outages.
Engineered Safety Materials
The WGenTent XL canopy meets NFPA 701 fire resistance standards and incorporates structural components manufactured with UL 94 V-0 flame-retardant materials. These engineered materials support safe operation under load and enhance protection in heat-exposed environments.
Availability
The Westinghouse WGenTent XL is available now through select retail and online partners.
