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.

Timber-and-steel entry gate framed by dense climbing greenery. — The north-west communities — Master-planned since the seventies, which means shared entries far more often than private ones.

Margate · Broward 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.

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.

Where an association governs the street, its architectural review usually runs in parallel with the municipal permit rather than after it.

Ask before the steel is ordered

Broward is inside the High-Velocity Hurricane Zone, so the wind rating is settled by code rather than by preference. What is not settled by code is the local review — Margate handles that itself, and starting it early is the cheapest decision on the whole project.
