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

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.

Horizontal timber slat gate between stucco piers, under flowering bougainvillea. — Inland & equestrian — West of the turnpike the county turns to paddocks and service roads, and a gate is sized around a truck and trailer.

Palm Springs · Palm Beach County

A gate that does not match its fence reads as two purchases. Picket spacing, rail height, cap detail and finish all come off the same drawing, which is the difference between a boundary and a collection of panels.

Acreage boundaries run over ground that moves. Panels get racked or stepped to the grade so the top line stays deliberate instead of wandering.

Where lots are measured in acres, the gate is often the only structure between the road and the house.

Outside the HVHZ — a different set of paperwork

Palm Beach County sits outside the High-Velocity Hurricane Zone that governs Miami-Dade and Broward. Wind still decides the frame here; the product-approval paperwork is simply a different set. Permitting in Palm Springs is administered locally, so confirm what is expected before fabrication starts.
