I’m building my Champion generator shed enclosure. I used exact aluminum exhaust tubing for dryer but worrying it might melt or would not last when running longer hours. Good to see your video.. It might work. How’s yours working so far?

The exhaust was the thing that took the most time to sort out and I experimented with a few different ideas. This tubing was the best out of the things I tried. I have it inside the other metal pipe as I too thought heat may have been an issue but it is working great. I can't believe the difference in sound by crunching the tube so it's like muffler baffles but doesn't restrict flow. I had seen people using cement board where the pipe goes out the plastic wall. I used the aluminized tape for ducting and have seen no warpage of the plastic. Thanks for watching and the comment. Good luck with yours.

it won't melt, wrap in in exhaust header wrap to keep it from heating up other parts

Put some patio blocks underneath and raise it up.

I used the 10 inch fan because it was on sale. This is a 3 speed and I have been running it on the lowest speed. It still sucks air in around the shed lid. The air temp inside doesn't feel that warm even after running for 6 hours. I considered putting in another inlet but that would let more noise out and it does OK as is. I an 8 inch fan would do well.

Fan too small. You will have overheating problems.

It's a 3 speed fan and I run it on medium. Have run the generator for 2 days straight in the last power outage and it barely gets warm in the enclosure
