Core Coverage

Wind and Hail

Wind and hail coverage reviews storm damage to campground roofs, cabins, signs, contents, utilities, and outdoor improvements.

Compare causes of loss, roof terms, percentage deductibles, valuation, and site-specific assets rather than treating every storm as the same peril.

Start with these questions

  • Schedule roofs, cabins, bathhouses, pavilions, signs, fencing, equipment, and utilities by location.
  • Record roof age, construction, prior repairs, anchoring, protection, and maintenance.
  • Ask whether wind, hail, named storm, tornado, wind-driven rain, and flood terms differ.

Whether this is a separate policy or an endorsement depends on the insurance arrangement.

Wind and hail may damage roofs, cabins, bathhouses, signs, fences, trees, utility systems, vehicles, and guest-facing equipment. NOAA explains that hail can damage homes and cars; the policy decides whether the cause and property are covered. Wind and hail may be included in a property form, limited by endorsement, or subject to a separate deductible.

Compare the storm terms

Schedule structures and outdoor property by location. Record roof age and construction, prior repairs, anchoring, opening protection, maintenance, and areas with different exposure. Ask whether wind, hail, named storm, tornado, wind-driven rain, flood, and resulting water damage are treated under separate forms or endorsements.

Explain the deductible in dollars

Read the declarations and deductible endorsements together. A percentage may apply to a defined building, location, total insured value, or another basis and may be per occurrence or subject to a minimum. Ask the agency to show the possible deductible in dollars for each scheduled location. Check roof settlement, actual cash value, debris removal, ordinance or law, utility interruption, and business income. A generic percentage example cannot predict a claim.

Keep inspection reports, photos, invoices, schedules, and storm plans. Bring them to a wind-and-hail coverage review and quote request through The Southern Agency’s existing quote portal. The policy, endorsements, exclusions, conditions, deductible, applicable law, and facts control.

Hypothetical campground claim

A hailstorm damages cabin roofs, the entrance sign, and outdoor HVAC units across two park locations. Property coverage may be relevant to covered physical damage, but a percentage wind or hail deductible, roof valuation, outdoor-property sublimit, age condition, or separate flood treatment could affect the response. The policy’s deductible basis—not a generic storm estimate—controls.

  • Schedule roofs, cabins, bathhouses, pavilions, signs, fencing, equipment, and utilities by location.
  • Record roof age, construction, prior repairs, anchoring, protection, and maintenance.
  • Ask whether wind, hail, named storm, tornado, wind-driven rain, and flood terms differ.
  • Calculate hypothetical deductible bases and review business-income, debris, and ordinance assumptions.
