Product Description
From the Manufacturer
The GenShed Generator Shelter is a rigid, durable enclosure in which to store and operate a portable generator up to 7500 watts for backup power applications when connected to a transfer switch. The GenShed Shelter provides secure, lockable, out-of-the-way protection of a portable generator from weather and theft during operation and storage. It frees up space in your garage or basement for other items. Kit includes all components and an integrated floor for assembly in less than an hour. An internal blower fan connects to standard 120 volt receptacle on the generator to introduce fresh air to the generator engine, and only runs while the generator is operating. Exhaust fumes and heat exit the enclosure via a patent-pending magnetic exhaust system. Additional heat is dissipated through louvers mounted on the sides and back of the enclosure. A high-temperature sensor switch is included to shut off generator in case of overheating. Accessing your generator for starting, refueling and servicing is a cinch by raising the roof and opening the doors. Using a generator in the GenShed shelter may reduce engine noise by as much as 10 db, mitigating noise pollution around your neighborhood. Ideal for gasoline or diesel-powered generators as well as portable generators fueled by propane or natural gas. Physical dimensions of portable generator must not exceed 28 by 40 by 28-inches (width by length by height). Weight of generator (with full gas tank) shall not exceed 500 pounds. All components included in the GenShed shelter kit must be installed in order for it to operate as designed and to avoid property damage or personal injury. Not all portable generators are compatible with the GenShed shelter. Your portable generator must have a tubular pipe and/or single exhaust hole and a steel exhaust cavity for the magnet to work. Baffled exhausts or exhaust points with perforated metal holes or louvers will not work with the GenShed shelter. Also, some older or inexpensive generators do not include an oil Level or low oil switch. If your generator does not have an oil level switch, GenTran does not recommend using it with the GenShed shelter, and will not warranty the product. GenTran assumes no responsibility for property damage, injury or accidents resulting from installations when the high temperature sensor switch is not used.

1.0 out of 5 stars
Can I make it a NEGATIVE 5???? BUYER BEWARE!!!!,
By
This review is from: GenTran GS7500 Generator Shelter for Portable Generators up to 7500-Watt (Lawn & Patio)
I would like to comment as someone who did purchase the product and I did file a complaint. In fact, I filed the complaint before the date the manufacturer posted a review that they haven't had any complaints. To refresh his memory and inform potential buyers. I purchased the
generator as a result of a devastating tornado that hit my town. My family was without power for almost 5 days and relied on a generator. The generator I purchased, because of the tornado, has 5500 Watts. The GenShed GS7500 claims to be designed for 7500 Watts so I thought it would be the perfect item to protect my new investment. It was installed on June 28, 2008, and tested on June 29, 2008 for 30 minutes. On August 3, 2008, I tested the generator for 1 hour per the manual instructions for the first time inside the GenShed because the generator manual requires it to be tested monthly. After only one hour, the plastic back around the exhaust of the Genshed was melted. After only one hour of use, I feel that this product is extremely unsafe. Had the generator been inside the GenShed the entire 5 days I was without power, I believe I would have faced a serious fire within a couple of hours. I posted pictures and although I am still disputing the fact that I paid for this faulty product, I am mostly concerned about consumer safety. The manufacturer continues to blame it on my installation but I can guarantee that it was installed as instructed. If this product can melt so fast imagine running your generator overnight inside this shed... your house could be on fire while you are sleeping and you'd never know it!!!!! Buyer BEWARE!

1.0 out of 5 stars
Not even worth one star,
This review is from: GenTran GS7500 Generator Shelter for Portable Generators up to 7500-Watt (Lawn & Patio)
OK, first off whoever reviewed this and gave it 5 stars is either insanely rich and naive or work for the company that produces this blatant rip-off? I mean $800.00 for a freakin' mini-garden shed plus a couple parts that you can pick up for about $150.00 anywhere else. Absolutely brilliant example of the "people will buy anything if you put the right spin on it". Well the only spin on this is that it is a rip. If you have $800.00 to spend on a box for your generator go get one of the good quality vented exterior metal boxes that are 1000 times safer, possibly cheaper and will last 1000 times longer. Or for fun, you can buy this one, let your generator run all night and watch the box melt and burst into flames! XD

I live in south florida and needed a Generator box, not a lot of them on the market so I was happy that I found one. After putting it together I was very disapointed, it was very week,no strength, I would be suprised if it stayed together in a strong thunderstorm, forget a hurricane it
would be in a million little pieces. sent it back for refund
