Garden fence insurance. Is there such a thing?
We had a fence come down in the recent storms. It was a 48 feet stretch of slated, railed and posted type. The posts snapped where they meet the ground, as they do.
I've decided to recycle as much of it as I can but nonetheless, the parts I have to replace have still cost just about £500 (rails and posts) by the time it's done, and that's doing the work myself. We have a lot of fence, probaly close to 4 or 500 feet of it, I don't want to think about the cost of replacing it if it were ever to come down.
The rest of the fence is in good repair, it's looked after but I do want to futureproof it.
I was wondering if there is such a thing as fence insurance, as part of house insurance. I checked our house insurance and it doesn't cover fence repairs. Also, being storm damage, it might be considered an act of God, so I don't know. Hopefully, I'd never have to use it, we've only ever claimed once on house insurance but I would like the peace of mind.
Anybody ever heared of, or had fence insurance?
