Core offering

GenTent Safety Canopies designs, manufactures, and sells portable generator running covers (generator tents) that allow portable generators to safely operate outdoors during rain, snow, wind, and hurricane conditions while maintaining proper airflow and exhaust clearance. The product line includes Universal Clamp Kits and Inverter Kits (in Standard, XL, Plus, and Extreme editions) plus accessories and replacement parts, sold direct-to-consumer, through major retailers, and via an OEM white-label program for generator manufacturers.

Product overview

GenTent Safety Canopies manufactures a comprehensive portfolio of portable generator running covers designed to enable safe outdoor generator operation in rain, snow, and severe weather. The product line centers on four core kit types: Universal Clamp Kit and XL Universal Clamp Kit for open frame generators (using steel clamp mounting systems), and Inverter Kit and XL Inverter Kit for fully encased inverter generators (using Kevlar strap mounting systems). These core products are complemented by three canopy editions (Standard, Plus with UV treatment, and Extreme made in the USA) and extensive accessories including storage bags, GenSkirt storage covers, clear vinyl aprons, hardware replacement kits, frame rods, center connectors, and extender arms. The company also operates a Covered by GenTent OEM program allowing generator manufacturers (Champion, Westinghouse, Cummins, DuroMax) to offer branded, color-coordinated versions of GenTent products.
