Set to the grade · Riviera Beach, FL

Panels racked or stepped to the ground so the run stays deliberate.

Riviera Beach · Palm Beach 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.

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.

Waterfront and inlet addresses frequently sit under a town or association design guideline of their own, on top of whatever the county requires.

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 Riviera Beach is administered locally, so confirm what is expected before fabrication starts.

Before you call

  • Aluminum or steel
  • Ornamental estate
  • Set to the grade
  • Matched to the gate
  • Specified for salt exposure
Is the paperwork the same as Miami?
No. Palm Beach is outside the High-Velocity Hurricane Zone, so it is a different product-approval set, and permitting is administered locally on top of that.
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 or steel?
Aluminum will not rust and suits long boundary runs. Steel takes ornamental work. The site usually decides.

Send a photograph of the entrance and roughly what you want it to do. That is enough to start a real conversation.
