This project was to be decorative, so a deep foundation and buried
conduit were required to supply the foundations for a safe and
beautiful finished result. Generac air-cooled units come with a
built-in pad, so this is not needed. Larger and less formal
installations can use a pre-fabricated pad.
|
Here, the cement has been poured and is resting until it is
appropriately set.
|
Here the generator has been placed and wired in to the house. At this
point, a privacy screen can be added to dress up the install and divert
prying eyes from the finished product.
|
For this install, to provide proper ventillation for the pad size, only
3 sides were treated. The back is completely open for maximum cooling.
|
At this point, the unit looks nice, has plenty of air flow for cooling,
and the exterior trim is made of durable exterior plastic.
|
Here, the deck is on. For a bit of whimsy, the owner wanted to add a
cupola and a weathervane. The result is a well breathing, safe, and
dressy application.
