Weather:
An enclosure protects your generator from weather
conditions such as rain, snow, freezing temperatures, and high winds. Not only can harsh weather ruin a generator, but it can void your warranty, too.
Noise:
Do you really want to listen to that motor humming
when you’re trying to sleep? Think about it like this: You wouldn’t want to hear your neighbor idling a motorcycle right next door for hours on end. If your generator’s too loud, it might even violate local noise ordinances. An enclosure muffles the noise and helps keep your neighborhood content.
Wildlife:
An enclosure can be especially important in rural areas,
as it keeps wildlife away from your generator. Squirrels and other rodents can cause power outages by gnawing through wires, and nesting birds or wasps can create fire hazards. You don’t want to deal with animal droppings, either
Weight, size and sound level

Security:
Be sure your generator is both secure from theft and
also safe to be around: You don’t want curious visitors
getting trapped or hurt inside the enclosure
Storage:
An enclosure frees up space in your outdoor storage
shed or garage. (Raise your hand if you park in the driveway because the garage is where your generator lives.)
Aesthetics:
Machinery standing out in the open can be unsightly.
You can improve the view by choosing a generator enclosure that’s pleasing to the eye and blends in with the surrounding environment.
Access:
Finally, an enclosure provides quick, easy access to your generator in an emergency. You’ll know exactly where it is and how to get to it.
