Do I need a permit for this?

Often, and Miami-Dade is inside the High-Velocity Hurricane Zone, so the wind rating matters too. Permits are issued locally, so we confirm what your authority wants before we start.

The High-Velocity Hurricane Zone — the Florida Building Code's strictest wind-load region. It covers all of Miami-Dade, which is why the hardware spec here is not the spec further north.

Will it actually fit my driveway?

We measure on site and draw the gate on your entrance before anything is cut.

Swing or slide — which one?

Slope, curb space and where you park decide it. We tell you what the driveway allows.

Miami Springs · Miami-Dade County

A gate is the only part of a property everyone sees and nobody walks past quickly. Piers, gate, fence line and the light on it either belong to each other or obviously do not, so they get drawn together rather than bought separately.

Where the driveway meets the sidewalk there is no arc for a swing leaf to travel through. That usually points at a slide or a cantilever, and it is far better to find that out at the measure than on install day.

On a short frontage the gate, the operator and the access hardware are all competing for the same few feet.

Two approvals, not one

Anything structural at the property line in Miami-Dade answers to the High-Velocity Hurricane Zone standard, and that is what sets the frame and the fixings. Separately, Miami Springs runs a local review, and where a homeowners' association governs the street it generally runs one of its own. Neither is a thing to discover after fabrication.
