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.

Why is the spec different up here?

Palm Beach County sits outside the High-Velocity Hurricane Zone that governs Miami-Dade and Broward, so the approval route the counties south of it use is the wrong one.

Will it match the gate?

The fence is drawn from the same detail as the gate, so the picket, the rail and the finish line up.

Aluminum will not rust and suits long boundary runs. Steel takes ornamental work. The site usually decides.

Delray Beach · Palm Beach County

A boundary is usually three or four different problems: the frontage anyone sees, the side returns nobody does, and wherever it meets a neighbour. They get treated as one run so the finishes and the heights actually agree.

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.

Master-planned streets tend to have their utilities in known places, which makes power and control runs more predictable than on older lots.

The coastal towns add a layer

Palm Beach County sits outside the High-Velocity Hurricane Zone, so the product approvals differ from the two counties to the south. On top of that, several towns and associations in this county run design guidelines of their own — so what Delray Beach expects is worth reading before a finish is chosen, not after.
