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.

Lighthouse Point · Broward 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.

Aluminum does not rust, which is most of the argument on a boundary this close to the water. Steel takes the ornamental work, but the coating has to be specified for the exposure.

Spray carries further inland than people expect, which is why a finish specified here is not the one specified well away from the water.

Also inside the HVHZ

Broward falls inside the same High-Velocity Hurricane Zone as Miami-Dade, so the wind rating carries across the county line unchanged. What does not carry across is the paperwork: permitting is administered locally, and the sensible order is to ask what Lighthouse Point expects before the steel is ordered rather than after.
