Take a moment to think about the contents of your shed. You may have yard equipment, tools, pool supplies, and other valuable items stored inside. However, many homeowners are unsure whether their shed is insured. Zot Insurance Agency in Plantation, FL, has the information you need.

Home Insurance and Sheds

If your shed is damaged, will your home insurance apply? In most cases, home insurance extends coverage to all structures located on your property. This typically includes garages and sheds, although coverage can vary by policy.

Review your policy to see whether unattached structures are included. If your policy specifies that detached structures are covered, you usually do not need a separate shed insurance policy.

Consider the Extent of Damage and Coverage

Although rare, a shed can completely collapse or be destroyed by fire or severe weather. In cases of major damage, your home insurance may not cover the full value of the structure if the cost exceeds your policy limits. If your shed and its contents are worth more than the limit for other structures, you may want to increase this portion of your coverage.

If you have concerns about your shed or what your policy covers, speak with your insurance agent. They can clarify your coverage and help you update your policy to match your needs.
