Location: Brentwood, New Hampshire & Ontario, California

GenTent® Safety Canopies and DuroMax® Power Equipment today announced a Covered by GenTent™ partnership to launch a full range of DuroMax-branded generator running covers engineered specifically for DuroMax generators. The lineup features GenTent’s next-generation, tool-free mounting system tailored to DuroMax’s rugged steel frames, plus new inverter and XL inverter kits that safeguard DuroMax’s largest premium models while running in severe weather.

“This partnership has been long in the making,” said Brian Thomas, Director of Sales & Marketing at GenTent Safety Canopies. “Working side-by-side with DuroMax engineers, we re-designed our mounting system to meet DuroMax’s performance standards and what their customers have been asking for: a truly tool-free, weatherproof generator tent that keeps units performing in the elements.”

Purpose-Built for DuroMax Generators

At launch, the lineup covers current and legacy DuroMax models. For open-frame generators, GenTent is introducing a new steel clamping system that grips DuroMax’s heavy-duty round frame tubes without tools, delivering meaningful gains to GenTent’s already robust weather ratings. For inverter generators, GenTent is releasing DuroMax Inverter Running Covers and debuting the first partner-branded XL inverter covers from a generator manufacturer—purpose-built for large units including the DuroMax XP15000HXT and DuroMax XP16000iHT.

Tested for Safety and Severe Weather

The new patented mounting system and inverter kits underwent extensive joint validation, including flame-retardancy and environmental performance testing. The canopy fabric is NFPA 701 rated for flame retardancy and structural components meet UL 94 V-0 flammability performance. Independent lab testing of the DuroMax-branded GenTent line confirmed:

  • Wind survivability: up to 110 mph
  • Rainfall protection: up to 18 inches per hour
  • Snow load: up to 20 inches (or 60 pounds)
“DuroMax customers expect high-performance durability and no-nonsense usability,” said Michael Black, Sales Director, DuroMax Power Equipment. “These DuroMax generator covers by GenTent mount fast—no tools required—shield sensitive electrical areas in the worst weather, and maintain generator performance while running.”

No-Compromise Protection While Running

Unlike box-style enclosures or thin storage covers, GenTent generator tents are engineered to shield electrical panels from any angle while preserving the generator’s cooling profile, ventilation, and exhaust paths. All DuroMax-branded GenTent products have been tested with DuroMax CO Alert™ and maintain performance without nuisance shut-downs. The tool-free design speeds deployment during outages and simplifies routine use for homeowners, contractors, RV owners, and mobile-power users.

Availability

DuroMax-branded GenTent running covers for open-frame, inverter, and XL inverter models will be available through DuroMax’s online and retail channels beginning October 2025. For model-specific fit guidance, visit duromaxpower.com/collections/covers.
