4/22/2023 Generator Shed

After getting quotes for whole home generators between $15k - $21k I put together and modified a box shed and generator for $3k that does everything a whole home generator does with the exception of turning itself on and off. Saving a minimum of $11k is worth 2 or 3 minutes to turn my generator on and off when the power goes out. Please aways use a interlock kit for safety.

Great build…. Finishing up mine and I’m going to use some of your design… thx!!

[@DuroMaxPower]

This is a perfect example of what you can do with our portable DuroMax generators. We love that you included the cost versus a permanent generator. Overall, enjoyed watching your video and glad there are people like you who are willing to educate how cost effective owning a portable generator really is!

Nice build! I’m currently working on my own build now! My 10 yr old son’s quick thinking helped save his mommy’s life! He ran down to a neighbors house for help to setup and start the generator to run her oxygen concentrator after running out off reserve oxygen tanks!

i like the work. Not over engineered lke many of the diyers. Mostly common sense and good take on necessities. Shed looks tougher than most like the suncast. Looks like a lifetime shed (plate). Only thing I would have included would be rockwool and also a temp sensor inside. Like the work.

You did a nice job on that. Well done!

[@edwardstanley2195]

Good job. Well done.

You might also use an earth anchor and chain or cable to further discourage theft.

Really nice job man! I plan on building something similar.

[@Oppenheimer1968]

ingenious

[@chadrose9046]

I would like to see a list of things you used for your build. Nice job it looks really good!

[@FatTailFishing]

Nice build

[@BOB12349307]

so you did all that and didn't do a whole house hookup with interlock kit?

[@apost1234]

Looks good! Will you list everything you used for the exhaust and the backboard? Thanks!

[@user-pw2bk8wt5h]

Would greatly appreciate a list of materials for the build. I'm especially interested in the venting and exhaust aspects as I'm in the build process currently.

[@indianabowhunter9471]

i just bought the same generator. What size of exhaust pipe to you buy 1-1/4 ?

[@Adrianj1]

This looks amazing, Can you provide a list of what all you purchased to complete this project and where you purchased. This is exactly what I'm looking to do with My Duromax generator.

[@FerrelCordle]

My generator has a carbon monoxide sensor that will shut down generator if level gets too high. Is there enough circulation with this set up that my generator will not shut down?

[@richardc4578]

What connection do you use to keep the battery charged?

[@ArturoPalaciosJr]

awesome set up. what did you use to connect your exhaust through the shed?
