How far can the control run?

Often, and Miami-Dade is inside the High-Velocity Hurricane Zone, so the wind rating matters too. Permits are issued locally, so we confirm what your authority wants before we start.

A gate that does not match its fence reads as two purchases. Picket spacing, rail height, cap detail and finish all come off the same drawing, which is the difference between a boundary and a collection of panels.

Acreage boundaries run over ground that moves. Panels get racked or stepped to the grade so the top line stays deliberate instead of wandering.

Where lots are measured in acres, the gate is often the only structure between the road and the house.
