Pompano Beach · Broward County

A community entrance has three completely different users arriving at it, and the system has to handle all three without a queue. Resident tags, a directory for guests, and a way to let a contractor in on a Tuesday without giving them permanent access.

A commercial entry near the water is a corrosion problem with a traffic problem on top. The hardware gets rated for both, or it gets replaced twice.

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

Ask before the steel is ordered

Broward is inside the High-Velocity Hurricane Zone, so the wind rating is settled by code rather than by preference. What is not settled by code is the local review — Pompano Beach handles that itself, and starting it early is the cheapest decision on the whole project.

Straight answers

  • High-cycle operators
  • Cantilever & barrier
  • Loop detection
  • Serviceable in place
  • Specified for salt exposure
What about emergency access?
Fire and emergency access is part of the specification from the start, not something bolted on at the end.
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.
What does the county require?
Broward sits inside the High-Velocity Hurricane Zone, so wind rating is set by code. The permit itself is local, and an HOA architectural review often runs alongside it.
