Subject: RE: Gen shed on the cheap/ small



Madison Co. Virginia
150-gallon Rubbermaid watertrough flipped upside down on top of the unit. Weight the trough down with a silo stave; but I doubt that's really necessary, if it's tightly sealed to the ground so wind can't get underneath.

I do something similar for the pto generator here. It's capped all the time with a cracked watertrough, and the pto shaft is stored inside. If I'm running it in downpouring rain, I'll weight down a sheet of plywood on top of the attached control box to shed water away from the electrical connections. That plywood still allows free airflow, but reduces the risk of shorts in the various outlets and breakers on the face of the control box. When the power comes back on, the plywood is tossed aside, and the watertrough is put back on.
