Based on the way this has been built, not seeing an advantage over garage storage. Maybe better with vents opposing each other on the side and door. Position fan on side wall to pull the air over the generator. Roof vent with cap will allow heat escape via the ‘chimney effect’. Additionally, venting exhaust out will prevent carbon monoxide build up inside that could be a fire hazard. Adding insulation, as commented, would help sound reduction but, the way this is built it would also trap heat inside.

3 weeks and $1600!!! No exhaust port and not enough air flow for that generator. You're going to want to have cool air running over the cylinder head and the electronics for the inverters.

I'm a bit confused... at the 7:24 minute mark, I see you screwing in the 2"X6" back brace to the new stringer. The back brace is painted pink higher up at the repair area but not AT the repair area. Are those two separate 2X6's butted against each other or is the 2X6 one solid piece of lumber running all along the entire stringer? Thanks!

How long will the generator run on that propane tank?

Nice nice I wanna get one 🙌

very good job

Central texas here so I'm building one somewhat similar to yours. I'm doing a double door on the horizontal equivalent of where yours is since that's the orientation for the side of my house where it will be. Anyways job well done sir.

nice project. Good idea on getting the old concrete out of the ground.

Meticulously done.

Every shed I see on KZbin is build less than a foot off ground. What about when the water gets higher? Is there a reason not to build the platform at least 12 inches higher than ground level?

How does the hot exhaust exit the shed? Did you extend the exhaust pipe to pass through the wall?

Wow!! Nice job!!

Looks great but I’m amazed that cost you $1600.

'23 RTL - same issue. Quick fix. Thank you!

What are dimensions?

Albeit this is a low use generator but nevertheless you need to be concerned about the interior shed temp. In my build I ended up upgrading from a 12" 840 CFM fan to a 16" ACInfinity fan with 3,000 cfm. My research suggests you don't want a temp. rise of more than 15F above ambient. Consider a remote thermometer for the interior and also perhaps a bimetallic thermal switch (NO) connected to the low oil circuit that will shut the generator in the event of fire or a fan failure. There are two excellent KZbin videos on how to do this. After finding the max. operating interior temp buy a switch for a little higher temp. In my case where climate is constant year round (no global warming here). I saw max. interior temps of 85-88F and ended up buying a normally open switch for 50C or 122F. Checked with a hairdryer and it shuts off the gen. Owners typically plug the fan into a 110 outlet on the generator. A lot of generators use GFI outlets which are very sensitive and can trip when you are not there. It happened to me and I replaced these with standard outlets. Proper sound insulation can get very expensive if you do it right. So decide if you really need it before going down that path.

Everybody in Houston finally getting prepared. Amazing what a little cold spell will do. I'm in Katy just an fyi that shed is going to get extremely hot inside. Not sure what genset you're using but even when I run my exhaust out like most folks on youtube it still gets very hot in the shed. I have a generac 17500 so it's a beast but I'm guessing the Rockwool doesn't help and I have 3 fans sucking about 3300 cfm out. Do some test runs my one of my fans shut down at 130 degrees. Nice build it looks fantastic.

Please do a demo of the gen running in the shed.

Like the truck, Also my Honda 2022 HPD keeps making noise every time closeting and open the doors, Guess they forgot tiring the screws on my driver inside back door side that’s still in warranty work.

Thank you so much for sharing. I just bought me a 2020 Ridgeline used with only 5 K Miles about a week ago. Same problem noise!!!So I’ll be checking after work today. Hoping I have that same problem. Such an easy fix, I thought i was hearing suspension problems and a ball joint or tie rod going bad. Nonetheless Thank you 🙏🏽 🤙🏽😎

I just bought a 2022 RTL-E .. low popping noise when going under 10 mph .. sounds like it’s coming from the suspension

Great looking shed. Do you have plans for it by chance? I am looking to build one in The Woodlands.

Mine has a similar noise, now I’ll be checking to see if mine is missing some screws. ‘21 RTL here.

Interesting.

Just bought a 2022 Ridgeline and am hearing the same noise above 35mph, so I'll be checking under the vehicle today to see if it's the same issue. Thanks for sharing!

You actually paid money for the parts? What is wrong with your warranty? I can understand wanting to do the install yourself.

Use it for a playhouse, a tool shed, a mans cave, guest room, etc. Mine is much smaller and only accommodates the generator.

Pretty fancy generator shed, mine is 2 saw horses and a tarp.....

You have natural gas a few feet away. You should convert the generator to natural gas and run it off the house so you'll never run out of gas...

Top notch job. I agree, hope you're going to use rock wool to sound insulate it. Also, looks like your using a thermostatically controlled fan. Great idea if so. Most genny shed builders just run the fan off the generator. However, when the genny cuts off, it still givesi off a lot of heat for awhile. I used a little transfer switch to provide power to the fan for awhile afterwards. I ran power and installed an outlet in the shed for the transfer switch to connect and to power a light inside. Keep up the great work.

Very nice. Look forward to a follow up with everything running.

Looks great. Quality build. May I ask what area you live in? I can't imagine the materials for that being $1600 where I am. Eastern, TN. You going to use Rockwool sound proofing?

Really nice setup and super straight work!
