My Hurricane Generator Shed Project 🌀 - Florida Fish Hunter

- It was time for me to take action early and get my generator and its enclosure ready to go before the next potential hurricane system arrives this coming season. This video highlights how I went about accomplishing this task.
The Atlantic hurricane season begins June 1 and ends November 30 of each year. Historically, the most active time for hurricane development is mid-August through mid-October.

Would you consider buying me a cup of coffee if you find my work helpful in any way? if the answer is YES, then you can do that by clicking this link:
Well done. I live in North Florida outside Dowling Park. We caught Idalia right in the teeth, and we were devastated by tornados as well. Power was out 10 days. I set up my 8x10 shed with louvers for air flow and put a fan in the window, and another by fresh air intake similar to your setup. Since my generator isn't big enough to power the house and 4 ton AC, I'm installing the second generator in an enclosure similar to yours and wired directly to the AC disconnect. The unit has a soft start module, so the generator has no problem running it. Your idea of muffler on the outside is stellar, as is taking advantage of the frosting of the propane tank. These are very good ideas that nobody else has thought of that I've seen. I believe I'll borrow your ideas. Thank you.
104 F ambient temperature is the limit with just natural convection, your fan increases the max allowable ambient temp significantly, but probably good to use a 105f fuse just in case the fan quits
I could care less about noise, it’s just keeping it covered is all I care about and having a fan blowing on it
That's the best set up I've seen so far. Only thing I would add for thought is the fact of how much propane that gen will take to run. It will run threw that cylinder pretty fast. Way faster than gas.
With having in a shed with vent openings, are you not worried about humidity in the shed ultimately shorting the life of the generator?
We are at the beginning of our generator install and I have found your video to be the most complete and informative yet online. Thanks and good fishing!
Nice job! Just an FYI. The reason the tank frosts is because it's not quite enough big enough. Lp tank will freeze up if there isn't enough (size) to allow the liquid to turn into a gas. Great job on the setup. Thinking of the same setup. Saving video :) 2 20# tank would do better or 2 30# tanks. Those refills are only 3/4 full to 80%. More like 3 gallons each.
You running a 2-cycle engine on propane. You claim cooling from the "frost" on the propane tank aids in cooling of the 2-cycle engine. WOuld you recommend additional cfm air flow with a 4-cycle engine running on natural gas?
What size is your shed?
Outstanding! I don't need hurricane protection and I'm inclined to do a little more to reduce noise; but this is a beautifully executed version of what I had in mind for my new upgraded genset arriving in a few days. Fantastic design, execution, and instruction. Best video on ANY TOPIC I've seen this year. Thank you!!
Nice set up. We have the same generator and we had our house wired too. Haven't had to use it yet. YET.
This is a clean and well thought out set up. Great job and thanks for sharing.
One of the best set-up I've seen. Thanks
That’s the best set up I’ve seen.
Great setup! Loved the video!
Great video! Using your shed video as an inspiration to start building my gen shed.
That's the same model I'm looking at getting. I have a couple of questions about your build:
great video... I've seen ALL the generator shed videos. You are the only one that I have seen that has a Thermal switch. VEry few people consider temp as an issue. I am building up my shed at the moment. I live in Canada so the temp is cooler that FLA. Can you provide more detail on the thermal switch and the wiring.... Thx again. Very informative!!
I built the exact same set up last year almost. However i did not have the high heat cut off.
