I would think if you build it to code it would be alright......

Personally, I'd be more concerned with the fact that you doubt your wiring skills to the point that you think you might burn your house down. Whether or not your insurance covers the damage is a secondary issue, you still burnt your house down and with everthing you own and possibly yourself too.
There is nothing wrong with retrofit and/or DIY wiring or lighting so long as you know what your doing and do it properly and safely. If you are that doubtful of your skills, either buy prebuilt or hire someone who knows how to do it right. Saving a few bucks doing it yourself then losing everything in a fire is not worthwhile.

thats nore like chewing wires, ect.. doesn't apply here as the pet wouldn't cause your lighting to catch on fire. there was a fire on here a few years ago that was covered by insurance and it was simular. DIY lights. usaly it will be an individual part that fails not the part we do, so if you insure all your concections are tight and use marretts rated for outdoors you will be fine. Steve
