Damn he built that FAST!

really nice work.. and you guys are so fast building

The fabric on the inside is a nice touch.....

Good use of indirect venting for sound suppression.

Very nice build. Love the look and functionality

Great video, good job!

Great job making exoust gas fan out around a corner so sound deadens. Many others build them with a big fan hole directly out the other side of the wall. Rock wool works better for sound then foam board. If you had made the muffler go around a corner you would have even less noise but, great job.

As someone who has gone thro the brain damage of such a project, I love the low cost of the build. Some say that a compartment with soundproofing can run you 2 x the cost of the generator. Mine is a Honda 5kw open frame gen set and that ain't cheap and my shed which is made from cinder block with a metal roof and doors and expensive soundproofing ended up being 3x. Kudos!

I would have put down plastic before pouring slab. Concrete is not water proof. It will absorb water from the ground and wick up to your framing. What plywood did you use? T111 is better for exterior use. The glue is water resistant. Paint job looks cool but paint is not waterproof either. Plywood is going to start separating and buckling from all the rain water splashing against the sides.

I wish you had done some commentary. Great shed though

Maybe add a 90* elbow to the exhaust pipe to prevent water intrusion? Aside from that, DAMN that's quiet!

rad intro title!! Original!

Great job! One of the more quiet gen sheds, I have seen on youtube. Do you mind taking a decibel reading of the shed open and shut with the gen running?

What is that material/screening you used to hold the insulation in place? Overall it looks and sounds great!

It's just screen door mesh you can buy anywhere.

That shed is awesome question what are the boxes on the 3 sides for ?

Great job, I like the noise reduction boxes you built. I have not seen much of that incorporate in order videos. What type of wool did you use on the wall? Did you also use the wool on the sound boxes ?

Hi Jose! I used leftover Rockwool I had from a previous project. I did not use Rockwool on all the sound boxes because it would have restricted the airflow too much. I found that simply adding enough off-sets reduced the sound greatly. I learned that sound does not like 90 degree turns :)

Nice job, good skills! Is the screening on the inside under what appears to be rock wool to keep bugs out? And I'm curious about the exterior boxes...why didn't you vent directly out? I just fired up my new Firman 10000 last night and I have been serching for shed ideas. This is the best handmade ine I have seen!

Hi! The offset on the boxes is because of sound. Each box has Rockwool too so that way with different 90 degree angels it helps as much as possible with reducing noise. The screening is to keep the Rockwool in place. With long term vibrations I did not want it to fall out of place. But it could help with bugs. I did not think about that. It was not one of my objectives. I figured it is outside and in a woodsy area so bugs are unavoidable but at least it would stay dry and quiet.

nice build how long you think that zip strip will survive at 600 degrees. Great family fun

Actually it was supposed to be temporary until I replace it with a steel tie but it has run well over 100 hours so far and not budging.

really cool. how has it been working since you posted the video?

Actually pretty good. Got to use it several times during the winter and stormy spring. Power was out for 4h at one point. Others only 1h or 2h but it really came in handy.

Are you using a regular fan or is it an exhaust type? Great job.. Kudos to you and crew 😉

It's a regular box fan pointing outwards.
