Aluminum or steel · Coral Springs, FL

One will not rust. The other takes ornamental work. The site usually decides.

Coral Springs · Broward County

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.

One code, many counters

The wind-load requirement in Coral Springs is the High-Velocity Hurricane Zone standard that governs the whole of Broward. The review that sits on top of it is local, and in a county this dense with planned communities an association's architectural approval is frequently the longer of the two.

  • Ornamental estate
  • Shared-entry duty cycle
My ground is not level.
Panels are racked or stepped to the grade so the top line stays deliberate instead of wandering.
Can you match a fence that is already there?
Usually. Picket profile, rail height and spacing get measured off the existing run rather than guessed from a photograph.
How deep do the posts go?
Deep enough for the panel height and for the ground it is going into. That is a calculation, not a habit.
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.
