Will it overhang the sidewalk?

It should not, and that is a design constraint rather than a preference — whatever the gate does happens inside the property line.

Do I need a permit for this?

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.

The High-Velocity Hurricane Zone — the Florida Building Code's strictest wind-load region. It covers all of Miami-Dade, which is why the hardware spec here is not the spec further north.

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.

Black sliding gate running along a concrete driveway beside a clipped lawn and palms. — The urban core — Where the driveway usually meets the sidewalk and the swing arc has to come from somewhere else.

Doral · Miami-Dade County

Ground is rarely level and a fence set as if it were shows it immediately. Panels are either racked to follow the slope or stepped in clean increments — both are decisions, and the wrong one is visible from the road.

City boundaries are short runs with a lot of returns. The corners and the step-downs are where a fence line either looks considered or looks improvised.

Older inland streets mix construction from several decades, so two openings on the same block are not necessarily the same problem.

Wind load first, paperwork second

The High-Velocity Hurricane Zone covers Miami-Dade in full, which is what decides the frame and the fixings long before anyone picks a finish. Approval is a separate, local question: in Doral it runs through whichever authority has jurisdiction, and where a homeowners' association governs the street its architectural review usually runs alongside it.
