The short answer

Coverage B pays for detached garages, sheds, fences, and driveways at 10% of your Coverage A limit by default. If you have a detached workshop, guest house, or oversized garage, request an increased Coverage B — the extra costs $10–$40/year per additional $10k.

Frequently asked

Are contents of the shed covered?
Yes, under Coverage C (personal property), same as items in the house.
