Swing or slide — which one?

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

How does it hold up here?

Salt and sun are the design brief in South Florida, so material and finish are specified for the coast.

Can I see it before it's built?

Yes. It gets drawn onto a photograph of your entrance, and the changes happen there rather than in the shop.

What about the fence either side of it?

Drawn at the same time. A gate that does not agree with its fence reads as two separate purchases from the road.

Parkland · Broward County

A swing pair needs an arc. A slide needs a run alongside the opening. A cantilever needs neither but wants a counterbalance behind the post. Which of the three your driveway allows is a geometry question with one right answer, and it is worth settling early.

Frontages inside a planned community tend to repeat, and where an association governs the street its architectural guidelines usually decide the envelope the gate has to sit inside.

A shared entrance belongs to everybody, which makes downtime a governance problem as much as a mechanical one.

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 Parkland expects before the steel is ordered rather than after.
