About

Plain Money Guide exists to make everyday money tasks simple. We write clear, step-by-step guides for the small financial chores most people put off — lowering a bill, canceling a subscription, disputing a charge, understanding a form — and explain them in plain English, without hype or jargon.

What we cover

  • Save Money — practical ways to lower everyday bills and cut waste.
  • Money Admin — small money tasks explained step by step.
  • Consumer How-To — refunds, cancellations, warranties, and your rights as a consumer.
  • Finance — the basics of credit, taxes, and benefits.

How we work

Every guide is checked against official sources — agencies like the CFPB, FTC, IRS, and USA.gov — and we link to the official page you should actually use. When rules or amounts vary by state or change over time, we say so and point you to the source rather than guessing.

Important

Plain Money Guide provides general educational information, not financial, legal, or tax advice. For decisions about your specific situation, verify with the official source or a licensed professional.

Other Structures Coverage: 10% Rule for Fences and Sheds

Image
By Plain Money Guide · Researched from official sources · Checked 2026-08-11 · Editorial standards Coverage B pays 10% of your dwelling limit for the fence — the tree that broke it is a separate line. Your fence, shed and detached garage fall under Coverage B — usually 10% of your dwelling limit, and it's extra money, not carved out of Coverage A. That single sentence settles most of the arguments people have with adjusters after a summer storm. The rest of the arguments come from a different place: the tree that knocked the fence over is not covered by the same rule, is capped far lower, and on a standard policy is often not covered at all when wind is what felled it. Here is how the two rules stack, with the arithmetic carried through. Table of Contents What Coverage B actually pays for The math: what 10% actually buys Where the tree rule breaks Structures the 10% never reaches Check the loss-settlement basis, not just the limit FAQ Where the call actually splits What Covera...
