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

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.

Miami Lakes · Miami-Dade 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.

Inside the High-Velocity Hurricane Zone

Miami-Dade sits inside the Florida Building Code's High-Velocity Hurricane Zone, the strictest wind-load regime in the state, so the rating on posts, panels and hardware is not a nice-to-have here. Permits on top of that are issued locally — by the municipality or by the county — so what Miami Lakes wants to see on paper is worth confirming before anything is cut.
