Generator shelter

[OutlawBiz]

I have a 3500/4000W Champion generator. It's a great unit, little louder than the Honda, but I can deal with a little more noise for the $650 price difference. I'm considering building a 4 sided (3 sides & top) plywood "box" lined with egg crate foam as sound dampener. I'd leave the exhaust end of the box open to "breathe".

Can anyone see any issues with me doing this!? If I make the box a couple inches larger than the geny frame...will it breathe and vent ok?

Not only will the box act as a sound dampener...but also keep wind/snow off it Ag the same time. Thoughts!?

Dont seenan issue aw long asnit can breath. I had the same gen. Bought a honda and sold it. But i kept the champion in my otter tub house. Bought a 100.ft ext. Cord and could harley hear it. Kept squaters at bay to.
