Do I need a pedestrian gate in the run?

One somewhere sensible is the thing nobody regrets and plenty of people come back to add later.

Ours is a shared entry, not a driveway.

Different machine. It gets specified on cycles a day and on who needs to get through it, not on the gate's weight alone.

Who is responsible for the entry?

Usually the association rather than any one resident, which changes who we talk to and who signs the work 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.

Aluminum is the low-maintenance answer for long runs and exposed boundaries. Steel is what you want when the fence has real ornamental detail in it. Neither is the right answer everywhere, which is why the site gets looked at first.

Fencing inside a planned community usually has to meet a line that already exists, so the detail comes off the neighbouring run rather than out of a catalog.

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

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 Boca Raton is administered locally, so confirm what is expected before fabrication starts.
