Porch Shield Waterproof Universal Generator Cover 38 x 28 x 30 inch - for Most Generators 5500-15000 Watt, Black

Using to cover my 4000/3200 watt Predator generator. Every once in a while, buyers come across a great product. This gen cover is one of those buys! The manufacturer 'nailed it' when they made this. Apparently, according to a color brochure included in the package, they make many other covers for outside products/use such as grills and furniture etc. Without a doubt I will be purchasing more items from this manufacture as time goes on. It's much better and heavier material than I expected, and it fits like a glove around my generator. The manufacturer offers a three year warranty. My generator has a 10 inch wheel kit installed on it. The cover (26x20x20) fits over both wheels and also over the handle. However, it is a little tight around the wheels and handle but not a problem at all. Because the wheels are plastic they could remain uncovered and all would be fine since they will not rust. It fits just right if I don't cover the wheels and instead just place the cover behind the wheels (wheels will be exposed). But, IMO, the unit looks much nicer with the wheels covered. So, it would be nice to have just a tiny bit more room in the fabric to allow for covering wheels. Probably, most users of generators have the wheel kit anyway because even my small 4000/3200 watt unit before I installed a wheel kit weighs in at 150 pounds with a full 4 gallon gas tank - too heavy for most people to lift. Added the wheel kit and now its weighs is close to 160 pounds. Conclusion: Very happy and will buy other products from this manufactuer. BTW, this 4000/3200 watt Predator is connected to my whole house (2500 sq. ft.) outside using a simple generator inlet box. Under a heavy load of having my propane furnace, propane hot water heater and my well pump on all at the same time (2800 watts nominal) I still have 400 watts available for lights etc. The only appliance not used or tested is my electric clothes dryer but we use a clothesline anyway so NBD. I intentionally bought this small generator after using my clamp on amp meter to determine how much power I really needed. This benifits me big time since it uses much less gasoline than a larger unit would. This unit is no longer availble at Harbor Freight. I has been superceeded with the 4375/3500 watt unit. Special note: Most generators (including Predators) are shipped "Bonded Neutral" as they are meant to be used with extension cords to different devices. If connected to a house (which IS legal) it may need to be reconfigured as a "Floating Neutral" generator to meet NEC codes depending on how your main utility line to the house switches or does not switch the utility service neautral leg. Do your homework before you connect it to your house via a generator inlet box or contact an licensed electrician for proper configuration. Thanks for reading.

EXCELLENT COVER with handle straps to lift off our DUROMAX XP13000HXT TRI FUEL -- FITS WELL, not made by duromax ( their cover did not fit ) . When generator is cool easy to put back onto generator -- good protection from rain and wind and otrher weather when generator not in use. I do not see color fade as a problem; and it is veryu durable. We are glad we sent back other cover and found this PORCH SHIELD waterproof cover that fits well over our generator.

I bought this cover for my generator. It fit over and down over the wheels as expected. It was nicely packed and appears to be of good quality. It has been on duty for a few weeks now and appears to be doing good. It was easy to slip over the unit for one person. It does not weigh much at all, time will tell. It is covered in sand, which means the generator is not or has a lot less than without the cover. Happy so far.

Good product

Fit and protects fantastic

Nice cover fit perfectly

I purchased the larger size of the Porch Shield Waterproof Universal Generator Cover than was recommended. I have a 3100 watt Champion Dual Fuel Generator and I purchased the 5K-10K watt generator cover size. I am glad I did as the cover has sufficient material around the bottom of the generator to wrap a rope around the bottom of the generator/cover and easily secure it from lifting off from winds. I traveled with the cover on the generator, in the open bed of my pickup, for over 2000 miles and never had a problem with the cover coming off the generator using the rope "technique". It is also easy enough to place on and remove from the generator when needed. The cover is sturdy and seems to be waterproof, but I only traveled thru one light rain shower during my trip with no problems. While I trust the cover, I had a plastic tarp wrapped around the generator underneath the cover just as added insurance. The cover kept the plastic tarp in place too! The cover material is a heavy ballistic type nylon and looks like it will last a long time. I use it at home while the generator is not in use to keep insects/wasps out of the generator, as it won't be easy for insects to gain access, especially around the ground or bottom area. Good price too! I really like this cover and the larger size for my generator. I this point, I would buy again!!

Nice quality cover. I bought for my dual fuel 13k watt Duramax genset. It's a little big, but it does what it's designed for. It's well made and should last many years.
