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.

Waterfront estate seen from the water, its lawn lined with tall palms above a seawall. — The barrier islands — Ocean on one side, the bay on the other, and nothing in between to break the salt.

Sunny Isles Beach · Miami-Dade County

Steel takes ornamental work and welds hard. Aluminum will not rust and suits long runs. Wrought iron is the traditional answer where the detail matters most. Sun and salt are the design brief in South Florida, so the finish is chosen with the same care as the frame.

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.

Waterfront and inlet addresses frequently sit under a town or association design guideline of their own, on top of whatever the county requires.

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, Sunny Isles Beach 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.
