Can a two-leaf gate work on my frontage?

If the setback gives the leaves somewhere to open into, yes — that gets measured on site before anything is drawn.

A pair halves the arc each leaf needs and doubles the hardware. Opening width and setback usually settle it between them.

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.

Grey perforated-panel modern gate across a driveway beneath a cantilevered house overhang. — The north county — From the city up to the Loxahatchee — newer construction, wider frontages, more slide gates than swings.

Tequesta · Palm Beach County

Plenty of companies will only touch their own installs. That is not much use when the gate is already stuck and the original installer has moved on. Every major operator brand gets serviced here, regardless of whose van it arrived in.

Two heavy ornamental leaves put the whole load on the hinges and the posts. When one of those starts to go the gate stops closing square long before it stops moving.

Mature canopy is the reason these streets look the way they do, and it is also a maintenance factor — leaves, roots and shade all reach the gate line eventually.

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