Outdoor Signs and Outdoor Fixtures Covered as Commercial Property?

The commercial property coverage form (CP 00 10) insures outdoor fixtures but excludes outdoor signs, except for signs that are attached to buildings. We have an insured who sustained substantial windstorm damage due to a tornado. The insured's sign was attached to a large brick and steel pylon structure at the entrance to the insured's parking lot. The sign and the pylon structure were both completely destroyed by the tornado.

We are assuming that the sign would not be covered, but is the pylon structure? We are not sure if the pylon is considered part of the sign and thus, excluded from coverage, or whether it is an outdoor structure. What do you think?
