Can a homeowner purchase an insurance policy to protect above ground swimming pool from winter damage or can rider be attached their current policy?

A homeowner's insurance policy or dwelling policy, in most cases, will not cover an above-ground swimming pool and would most likely need a separate policy. For additional coverage, they can purchase a personal property insurance policy. This type of policy can provide coverage for the pool and its contents, including pumps, filters, and covers.

Attach a rider to their current policy

Some insurance companies offer riders or endorsements that can be added to a homeowner's policy to provide coverage for above-ground pools. These riders typically provide coverage for damage caused by weather conditions, such as snow, ice, and wind, as well as damage caused by vandalism or theft.

Here are some tips for homeowners who are considering purchasing insurance for their above-ground pool:

* Shop around and compare quotes from different insurance companies.

* Make sure the policy provides adequate coverage for the pool and its contents.

* Understand the deductible and any other limitations or exclusions in the policy.

* Keep a record of the pool's purchase and installation costs, as well as any maintenance records.

* Notify the insurance company if there are any changes to the pool or its location.
