Field Failure Reality • Envelope Degradation
Cheap Fences Don't Last in Florida
Salt air, humidity, and storms destroy cheap fence installs fast. Wood rots, metal rusts, vinyl warps, and posts work loose from the ground within a few years. The result is a fence that looked great on day one and looks awful by year three — needing constant repair or full replacement long before it should. Most fence failures aren't the material; they're the install or the wrong material for the conditions.

Fence & Gate Types We Install
Planet Construction FL installs fencing and gate systems in the primary materials used in Fort Lauderdale's residential and commercial market. Aluminum fencing — the most popular choice for Fort Lauderdale's coastal environment — is non-corrosive, low-maintenance, and available in a range of ornamental styles from simple pool fence profiles to decorative picket designs appropriate for front yard and perimeter fencing. PVC (vinyl) privacy fencing provides a maintenance-free alternative to wood with better long-term appearance in South Florida's humidity and UV environment than wood boards that warp, crack, and weather. Wood privacy fencing — cedar, pressure-treated pine, or composite wood — is available for property owners who prefer the natural aesthetic of wood, understanding that South Florida's climate requires higher wood fence maintenance than other climates. Wrought iron and ornamental steel fencing and gates — powder-coated for corrosion resistance — provide the highest-end security and aesthetic combination for luxury residential properties and commercial applications.

Gate Options for Fort Lauderdale Properties
Gate selection for Fort Lauderdale properties involves both functional and aesthetic considerations. Swing gates — single or double leaf — are the most common gate type for residential driveways and garden entries, requiring adequate clearance for the gate's swing arc and proper post sizing to support the gate's weight over time. Sliding gates — cantilevered or track-mounted — are appropriate where swing clearance isn't available, including narrow driveway setbacks and commercial applications where vehicle traffic flow requires a gate that doesn't interrupt traffic with its swing. Automatic gate operators — keypad, remote, intercom, or access card triggered — are popular on Fort Lauderdale residential and commercial properties where convenient access control is the priority. Planet Construction FL coordinates automatic gate operator installation with the gate manufacturer's specifications and, where required, coordinates low-voltage electrical work with licensed electrical subcontractors.

FIELD APPLICATION SPECIFICATIONS
Permits & HOA Requirements in Fort Lauderdale
Fence and gate installation in Fort Lauderdale requires building permits and, in many communities, HOA architectural committee approval. Fort Lauderdale's and Broward County's fence permit requirements include maximum height limits by location — typically 6 feet for rear and side yards, 4 feet for front yards — and setback requirements from property lines and rights-of-way. Pool safety barrier requirements — Florida Statute 515 requires barriers meeting specific height, gap, and latch requirements around residential swimming pools — apply to fencing adjacent to or enclosing pool areas. HOA communities typically have specific material, color, and style requirements for fencing that must be submitted for architectural committee approval before installation. Planet Construction FL manages the full permit and approval process for every fence installation project — confirming requirements, filing applications, and scheduling building department inspections at project completion.

Material Comparison for Fort Lauderdale's Climate
Material selection for Fort Lauderdale fencing should account for the specific durability challenges that South Florida's coastal environment creates. Aluminum is the clear durability winner — powder-coated aluminum fence systems are completely non-corrosive, require no painting, and maintain their appearance in salt air environments for 25–40 years with minimal maintenance. PVC/vinyl is similarly non-corrosive but may fade or become brittle from UV exposure over time — quality PVC fence products with UV inhibitors perform well in Fort Lauderdale, lower-quality products may chalk and discolor within 5–10 years. Wood requires the most maintenance in South Florida's climate — annual sealing or staining to prevent moisture absorption, warping, and biological degradation is necessary to keep a wood fence looking well-maintained. Iron and steel require quality powder-coat finishes and periodic touch-up of any coating damage to prevent rust in South Florida's corrosive coastal atmosphere.

Do fences require permits in Fort Lauderdale?
Yes — fence installation in Fort Lauderdale and Broward County requires a building permit. The permit process confirms that the fence height, setback, and location comply with local zoning and building code requirements. Pool safety barrier fencing requires inspection to confirm compliance with Florida pool safety code. Planet Construction FL handles all permit applications and inspections for every fence and gate installation project.
How much does fence installation cost in Fort Lauderdale?
Fence installation costs in Fort Lauderdale vary significantly by material, height, and linear footage. Aluminum ornamental fencing typically ranges from $35 to $65 per linear foot installed. PVC privacy fencing ranges from $25 to $45 per linear foot. Wood privacy fencing ranges from $20 to $40 per linear foot. Wrought iron and custom gates are priced individually based on the design and dimensions. We provide a complete project estimate — including permits and gate operators where applicable — after a site measurement visit.
Can you install automatic gates on existing fences?
Yes — automatic gate operators can be retrofitted on existing gate structures where the gate's structural condition and configuration are compatible with the operator system. We assess the existing gate structure during the site visit to confirm compatibility and identify any reinforcement or modification needed for reliable automatic operator performance.
How long do fences last in Fort Lauderdale?
Aluminum fencing lasts 25–40 years in Fort Lauderdale's coastal environment with minimal maintenance. PVC fencing lasts 20–30 years. Pressure-treated wood fencing with proper annual maintenance lasts 15–25 years. Cedar wood fencing with similar maintenance lasts 10–20 years. Wrought iron with quality powder-coat finish and periodic touch-up lasts 25–40 years. Maintenance practices — keeping wood sealed, touching up iron coating damage, and keeping fence bases free of soil contact — significantly affect the upper or lower end of service life estimates for each material.
