What happens if the internet drops?

Codes and tags keep working locally. It is the remote management that pauses, not the gate.

Where should the pedestal go?

Far enough back that a car is clear of the road, and at a height a driver can reach without opening the door.

Will it survive this close to the water?

Salt is the design brief on the coast, so material, fixings and finish are chosen for the exposure rather than for the photograph.

Does the finish need redoing eventually?

Coatings on the water have a working life. Knowing that at the start is better than discovering it, and it is part of what the material choice trades off.

The everyday case is not a burglar, it is a delivery driver at four in the afternoon while you are somewhere else. Telephone entry turns that into a phone call you can answer, and the gate opens from the call.

Waterfront addresses tend to run household, guest and trade access through one entry, which is the exact case telephone entry and per-person codes were built for.

Wind exposure on the water is not only a number in a code table — it is what actually loads a gate leaf, every afternoon.

Also inside the HVHZ

Broward falls inside the same High-Velocity Hurricane Zone as Miami-Dade, so the wind rating carries across the county line unchanged. What does not carry across is the paperwork: permitting is administered locally, and the sensible order is to ask what Lighthouse Point expects before the steel is ordered rather than after.
