Could avoid rust and rain by making a silencer from concrete blocks,

I thought of doing something similar except building an outdoor block
'bunker' for the generator and porting the air and cooling intakes
from the outside (possibly easier to do than a hot exhaust), allowing
the exhaust and cooling air to exit via a baffles in the blockwork.

Lift up heavy duty lid for refueling and starting and a removable end
panel for unit extraction / servicing.

Keeps the general noise levels down, less risk of poisoning and takes
up less room in the garage. It could double as a garden bench or BBQ
stand. ;-)
