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.

My ground is not level.

Panels are racked or stepped to the grade so the top line stays deliberate instead of wandering.

Palm Beach · Palm Beach County

Aluminum is the low-maintenance answer for long runs and exposed boundaries. Steel is what you want when the fence has real ornamental detail in it. Neither is the right answer everywhere, which is why the site gets looked at first.

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.

Wind exposure on the water is not only a number in a code table — it is what actually loads a gate leaf, every afternoon.

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 Palm Beach expects is worth reading before a finish is chosen, not after.
