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.

City boundaries are short runs with a lot of returns. The corners and the step-downs are where a fence line either looks considered or looks improvised.

The urban grid was laid out long before anybody was automating an entrance, so the space a gate needs has to be found rather than assumed.

Ask before the steel is ordered

Broward is inside the High-Velocity Hurricane Zone, so the wind rating is settled by code rather than by preference. What is not settled by code is the local review — Wilton Manors handles that itself, and starting it early is the cheapest decision on the whole project.
