The entrance · Palm Beach, FL

Drawn, fabricated and hung so the entrance reads as one piece of work.

Palm Beach · Palm Beach 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.

Close to open water the gate lives in salt air, so material and coating get specified before styling does — aluminum, or steel that is coated for the exposure rather than for the showroom.

Spray carries further inland than people expect, which is why a finish specified here is not the one specified well away from the water.

Outside the HVHZ — a different set of paperwork

Palm Beach County sits outside the High-Velocity Hurricane Zone that governs Miami-Dade and Broward. Wind still decides the frame here; the product-approval paperwork is simply a different set. Permitting in Palm Beach is administered locally, so confirm what is expected before fabrication starts.

  • On-site measure
  • Drawn before it's cut
  • Shop-fabricated
  • Coastal finish
  • Specified for salt exposure
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.
Is the paperwork the same as Miami?
No. Palm Beach is outside the High-Velocity Hurricane Zone, so it is a different product-approval set, and permitting is administered locally on top of that.
Why is the spec different up here?
Palm Beach County sits outside the High-Velocity Hurricane Zone that governs Miami-Dade and Broward, so the approval route the counties south of it use is the wrong one.
Will it actually fit my driveway?
We measure on site and draw the gate on your entrance before anything is cut.
