Fences and Gates Built to Florida Standards
Fence and gate installation in Fort Lauderdale adds privacy, security, curb appeal, and property value to residential and commercial properties — while defining boundaries and managing access in the outdoor living environments that Fort Lauderdale's year-round climate makes central to South Florida life. From aluminum pool fences that meet Florida's pool safety code requirements to decorative iron gates for luxury residential entries, wood and vinyl privacy fences for residential properties, and commercial security fencing for business perimeters, Planet Construction FL installs fencing and gate systems that are built for Fort Lauderdale's coastal climate and compliant with Broward County's permit and HOA requirements.
Cheap Fences Don't Last in Florida
The Planet Construction Approach
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.

Common Questions
Frequently Asked Questions
Call us for project-specific information and a free consultation.
Call (754) 301-6747Do 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.
