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.

Is Broward the same as Miami-Dade?

For wind load, yes — both counties are inside the High-Velocity Hurricane Zone. For permitting, no: that is administered locally and it is not identical from city to city.

I have a sketch, not a drawing.

A sketch is enough to start. We draw it properly and show you the gate on your entrance.

Can you match something that already exists?

Yes — an existing panel, a neighbouring property's detail, or a piece of the house itself.

Lauderhill · Broward County

Most custom gates begin as something drawn badly on a phone. That is genuinely enough. It gets turned into a real drawing, put on a photograph of your entrance, and changed there — where changes are free.

Tight urban openings are exactly where a gate gets made rather than bought — an odd width, an awkward pier, a wall that is not square to the road.

The urban grid was laid out long before anybody was automating an entrance, so the space a gate needs has to be found rather than assumed.

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 — Lauderhill handles that itself, and starting it early is the cheapest decision on the whole project.
