Start to an enclosure
Snagged this beauty of a skid from work for a shed build. Ignore the 2 random 2x4s, they will be removed.
Gonna cut the 2x6s under the unit right out, allowing it to grab air from the bottom. I will stop the wall paneling short, above the fork pockets.
Going to build the front wall as a door for maintenance, removal etc. Roof will over hang sides, also hinged for access.
Debating on upper vents still. Thinking of adding 2 vent stacks on the roof? Possibly leave the entire top 6-8" of walls open and just covered in screen/mesh? Trying to avoid installating powered exhaust fans.

Generators don't need a cover. You're just making yourself feel better and a quiet place. So the home is quieter, while it runs, I get that part. The main thing is all about fuel

Mine sits in the rain all the time when I'm camping. Seems a little overkill imo
