The short answer

Fences fall under 'Coverage B — Other Structures,' typically 10% of dwelling coverage. HO-3 covers wind, hail, fallen trees, vehicle impact, and vandalism. Depreciation on wood fences is aggressive (5–7%/year) and settlement is often ACV, meaning payouts on 10+ year fences are 30–50% of replacement cost.
