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.

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.

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.

Everything within a few blocks of open water runs on the same clock: salt reaches fixings, hinges and enclosures whether or not the house faces the ocean.

One code, many counters

The wind-load requirement in Pompano Beach is the High-Velocity Hurricane Zone standard that governs the whole of Broward. The review that sits on top of it is local, and in a county this dense with planned communities an association's architectural approval is frequently the longer of the two.
