Coverage for structures not attached to your home.

Definition

Other structures coverage (Coverage B) protects structures on your property that aren't attached to your main home, such as detached garages, sheds, fences, and guest houses. Standard policies typically provide 10% of your dwelling coverage for other structures.

When a storm destroyed the detached garage, other structures coverage paid the $15,000 rebuild cost.
