Custom Generator Covers

Protect your generator when it isn't in use with a custom generator cover made to measure for its actual dimensions.

Generators vary considerably in size and design, from compact portable units to large commercial and industrial generators. Handles, wheels, control panels, frames and fuel tanks can also make it difficult to find a standard cover that fits correctly.

At Shiny Sofas, we manufacture custom generator covers in the UK using measurements supplied by our customers, providing a made-to-measure option when standard generator covers aren't suitable.

Made-to-Measure Generator Covers

Instead of choosing the nearest available standard size, your generator cover can be manufactured according to the dimensions of your particular unit.

We can manufacture covers for:

• Portable generators
• Petrol generators
• Diesel generators
• Inverter generators
• Backup generators
• Commercial generators
• Industrial generators
• Site generators
• Large generators
• Wheeled and framed generators
• Unusually sized generator units

Whether you need a cover for a small portable generator or a much larger commercial unit, send us the measurements and details of the equipment.

Protective Generator Covers

Generators can spend considerable periods in storage between uses.

A made-to-measure generator cover provides an additional protective barrier against dust, dirt, debris and general environmental exposure while the generator isn't operating.

Custom sizing is particularly useful where the generator has a frame, wheels, handles or other projecting components that don't fit comfortably beneath standard rectangular covers.

Outdoor Generator Covers

Generators stored outdoors or in partially exposed locations may require additional protection against changing weather conditions.

We can manufacture weather-resistant generator covers designed to help protect against rain, moisture, dirt and general outdoor exposure while the generator is stored and not in use.

If your generator will normally be kept outdoors, tell us when providing your requirements so the intended environment can be considered.

Looking for a Waterproof Generator Cover?

People searching for a waterproof generator cover are generally looking for improved weather protection for a generator stored outdoors.

Our custom covers can be manufactured using water-resistant and weather-resistant materials intended to provide practical protection against rain and moisture.

However, the performance of a completed cover can depend on its seams, openings, shape and conditions of use. For this reason, we don't describe every custom generator cover as completely waterproof under every possible condition.

If weather protection is particularly important, tell us where and how your generator will be stored when requesting your cover.

Custom Covers for Portable Generators

Portable generators often include tubular frames, carrying handles, wheels and other features that affect their overall dimensions.

A custom portable generator cover can be manufactured around the measurements of the complete unit rather than simply the generator body.

Provide the overall width, depth and height, including any permanently projecting handles or components that need to remain beneath the cover.

Large Generator Covers

Commercial and industrial generators can be significantly larger than the sizes catered for by standard retail covers.

We can assess requirements for large custom generator covers according to the dimensions and shape of the unit.

For particularly large or unusual generators, photographs and a labelled drawing are recommended alongside the measurements.

Covers for Unusual Generator Shapes

Not every generator is a simple rectangular shape.

Your generator may include:

• Wheels
• Carrying handles
• Tubular frames
• Control panels
• Exhaust sections
• Fuel tanks
• Projecting components
• Different heights
• Sloping sections

Where necessary, additional measurements can be supplied so that the cover can accommodate the overall shape.

Commercial & Industrial Generator Covers

We can manufacture generator covers for businesses requiring protection for equipment used on sites, at commercial premises or as backup power equipment.

Potential applications include generators used by:

• Construction businesses
• Contractors
• Facilities teams
• Workshops
• Warehouses
• Event businesses
• Commercial premises
• Engineering businesses
• Maintenance companies
• Other trade and industrial users

If you have several identical generators, multiple covers can also be manufactured to the same specification where appropriate.

Generator Covers for Storage — Not Operation

Our standard custom generator covers are intended to protect generators while they are switched off and being stored.

Do not operate a petrol, diesel or other combustion generator beneath a standard protective cover.

Generators can produce significant heat and dangerous exhaust gases, including carbon monoxide, and require the ventilation and clearances specified by the generator manufacturer.

Always switch the generator off and allow it to cool before fitting its protective cover.

One-Off & Multiple Generator Covers

You can request a cover for a single generator or enquire about multiple covers for a fleet of identical units.

For repeat commercial requirements, provide the generator dimensions, quantity required and whether every unit is the same model and configuration.

Made in the UK to Your Measurements

Each custom generator cover is manufactured in the UK according to the measurements supplied for the order.

Straightforward units may only require the overall width, depth and height.

Generators with unusual frames, handles or projecting components may require additional measurements.

Photographs and a simple labelled drawing can also be supplied where necessary.

Request Your Custom Generator Cover

Send us the dimensions of your generator together with photographs where possible.

Tell us whether the generator will normally be stored indoors, outdoors or in a partially exposed location.

For commercial requirements, include the quantity required and whether the generators are identical.

We can then assess the information provided and determine the requirements for your made-to-measure generator cover.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can you make a cover specifically for my generator?

Yes. Our custom generator covers are manufactured according to the measurements you provide rather than being restricted to predetermined standard sizes.

Can you make covers for portable generators?

Yes. Covers can be manufactured for portable generators, including units with frames, wheels and handles.

Can you make large generator covers?

Yes. Larger commercial and industrial generator-cover requirements can be assessed according to the dimensions and shape of the equipment.

Are your generator covers waterproof?

Our covers can be manufactured using materials intended to provide practical water and weather resistance. Finished-cover performance can depend on seams, openings, design and conditions of use, so we don't claim that every custom cover is completely waterproof in every situation.

Can I run my generator while the cover is fitted?

No. Our standard protective generator covers are intended for storage when the generator is switched off and cool. Never operate a combustion generator beneath a standard fitted protective cover.

Can you make covers for diesel generators?

Yes. Covers can be manufactured for diesel, petrol and other generator types according to the dimensions supplied.

Can you manufacture several identical generator covers?

Yes. Multiple covers can be manufactured to the same specification where the generators are identical.

What measurements do you need?

For straightforward generators, provide the overall width, depth and height, including permanently projecting components that need to remain beneath the cover. Additional measurements may be required for more complicated shapes.
