Installation Built for Coastal Conditions

New Smyrna Beach properties often have sandy soil that requires deeper post holes and additional concrete for stability. Our installation crews understand these conditions and adjust their techniques accordingly. We also set posts extra deep to provide better wind resistance during storms.

What should New Smyrna Beach homeowners know before installing a fence?

Two forces shape almost every fence job in New Smyrna Beach: salt and sand. Salt air is hard on metal and finishes, so vinyl and powder coated aluminum are the safe bets near the water, with vinyl coated chain link a solid budget option. Sand is the other half of the equation. It does not grip a post the way firmer ground does, so we dig deeper holes and use extra concrete to keep a fence straight and standing when the wind picks up. Beachside and mainland lots can behave differently, and we adjust the approach as we go.

On the planning side, most New Smyrna Beach fences need a permit, which usually calls for a current survey rather than the old pins in the yard. Gates deserve a little thought too. A single walk gate is fine for many yards, while a double drive gate at 10 to 16 feet wide makes sense if you need to pull a boat or trailer through. Compare our vinyl fencing and aluminum fencing to see what fits your place and your budget.

New Smyrna Beach Fence FAQs

Florida sets clear rules for pool safety. The barrier has to be at least 48 inches tall, and the gate has to be self closing and self latching and swing outward, away from the pool. The latch has to sit at least 54 inches off the ground so young children cannot reach it, and the fence cannot leave more than a 2 inch gap at the bottom. We build every New Smyrna Beach pool enclosure to meet this code, and we bring in back fill where the ground dips to close those gaps.
Sandy soil is the biggest reason coastal fences fail early, so we do not cut corners on the footings. We dig the post holes deeper than we would inland and use additional concrete to anchor each post, which gives the fence the wind resistance it needs when a storm blows through. A post set the right way here will stand straight for years instead of leaning after the first big blow.
It depends on access and space. A single walk gate handles foot traffic on most yards. If you need to bring a mower, boat, or trailer through, a double drive gate makes sense, and those usually run 10 to 16 feet wide. A roll gate is the better pick for a wider opening or a commercial site. You can keep it simple or add automation, from a basic clicker up to keypads, loop sensors, or solar power, which changes the budget.
In most cases, yes. A new fence here needs a permit, and pulling it generally requires a current survey so the property line is documented. Old pins usually are not enough for the county. We handle the permit documents, send them to you for signatures, then submit and monitor the application so your install date holds.
Some jobs start within a couple of weeks of a signed contract, depending on how much the county wants for the permit. The install itself is usually one to two days for a typical yard. Special order colors and custom aluminum gates can take weeks to arrive, and our afternoon storm season can move a day around. We keep common materials in stock to keep things moving.
We have built fences for coastal Florida homes for over 20 years, so we know how to pick materials and set posts that last near the ocean. We are licensed, insured, and bonded, we protect your yard while we work, and we back every job with a two year workmanship warranty plus the manufacturer coverage on most materials.
