Rubbermaid cover for generator - looking for post/poster/photo

I saw a post here - sometime in the past few months - where someone had either shown a photo of a Rubbermaid cover/container they put over their generator, or they had a link to the photo. I can't locate it in a search here, and didn't bookmark it. We are looking for something to weatherproof/rodent proof our generator, and I wanted to see if I could find that or something similar?

Ring a bell with anyone?

Thanks for any help!

I have my generator mounted on a thick piece of plywood with wheels and a handle and cover it with a Rubbermaid cover but didn't post any pictures.
The cover fits the wood tight so no critters can get in. If I need it all I have to do is lift the cover and start it up.

thanks! Can you tell me the model/type of rubbermaid cover? I spent some time perusing Rubbermaid products online, but I didn't see anything that sounds like what you are describing - and what you are describing is exactly what I need!

So far, I found:

which is real big

and:
http://tinyurl.com/8wzox
which is smaller but didn't get good reviews on Amazon.com, and may not work

We need to keep the weather and critters out, but be able to run it occasionally and get to the back to change the oil on it too - so something weatherproof and light enough to lift off is perfect. The jury-rigged tarp-and-old-cabinet-doors-tied-with-rope isn't going to last forever...

thanks again!
