Wind Survivability Testing

What the wind testing showed
An independent product testing firm 360 Product Testing put GenTent through extreme wind conditions designed to simulate some of the worst weather most homeowners would ever face.

Generators equipped with GenTent covers were mounted on an open utility trailer and driven at highway speeds over 70 MPH, creating sustained wind forces equivalent to about 110 MPH forecast winds: the kind seen in severe blizzards or strong Category 2 hurricanes.

The testing exposed GenTent to real-world turbulence, including gusts from multiple directions: front, back, and both sides, while being recorded and monitored with wind-speed instruments and video cameras.

The result?
Even under these serious conditions, the GenTent stayed firmly attached.

There was visible movement, as you’d expect at wind speeds capable of damaging buildings and uprooting trees, but no parts detached, failed, or came loose. The canopy remained structurally intact on both open frame generators and inverter generators using their respective mounting systems.

The bottom line:
The GenTent is built to handle extreme wind, far beyond typical storms. Testing shows it can stay secure in conditions equivalent to 110 MPH forecast winds, giving you confidence that your generator protection won’t fail when the weather is at its worst.

In short: when the storm gets brutal, the GenTent stays put.
