Fence & Gate Installation
in Broward County Built to
& Outlast Florida's Climate
Premium hardwood and composite fences engineered for South Florida's salt, sun, and storm season
Why Broward Homeowners Are Replacing Fences After Just 3 Years
Most fence failures in Broward County don’t start with bad luck. They start with the wrong material, the wrong fasteners, and a crew that left before the first rainy season hit. Generic pressure-treated lumber, box-store hardware, and no regard for coastal conditions create a predictable failure sequence that repeats itself across Fort Lauderdale, Weston, and Hollywood every single year.
The three most common failure points we see on replacement projects:
- Fastener corrosion: Standard steel screws begin oxidizing within 12 to 18 months in salt-air conditions, bleeding rust into the wood grain and weakening every connection.
Untreated cut ends: Raw end grain absorbs moisture from the inside out. Rot begins invisibly before the board ever shows visible damage.
Under-engineered posts: Shallow embedment and undersized footings mean the first named storm tests what the contractor left behind.
The fix isn’t complicated. It requires specifying the right material and doing the job correctly from the first post set.
Not All Fence Materials Survive South Florida.
Installation Here's What Actually Does.
Brazilian Ipe is the benchmark for luxury hardwood fencing in South Florida. With a Janka hardness of 3,510 lbf and natural resistance to rot and termites, it delivers a 25 to 40 year lifespan when installed correctly. Capped composite from Trex and TimberTech offers zero-maintenance performance with 25-year fade and stain warranties, making it the right call for pool perimeters, HOA communities, and rental properties.
Cumaru and Massaranduba offer comparable durability to Ipe at a more accessible price point, while thermally modified pine delivers the authentic grain of natural wood with dramatically reduced moisture absorption. Every material we install is matched to your property’s specific exposure conditions, not pulled from a generic product catalog.
Certified Installers, Not Subcontractors.
That Difference Shows Up On Your Property.
At Extreme Decks, every fence and gate installation in Broward County is executed by our own certified team. The same project manager who reviewed your property during the site evaluation is reachable by phone throughout construction. There is no handoff, no middleman, and no moment where your project becomes someone else’s responsibility.
This distinction matters most when something unexpected arises on site, and in South Florida construction, something always does. An unmarked irrigation line, a soil condition requiring deeper footings, or an HOA setback that needs to be reconciled before framing begins. When your installer is also your point of contact, these issues get resolved in hours, not days of phone tag between parties who have never met.
“In Broward County, the climate doesn’t forgive shortcuts. A fastener specified for standard outdoor use will show visible corrosion within a year on an Intracoastal-adjacent property. A post set without calculating the site’s actual wind exposure load is an engineering guess, not an installation. Every decision we make, from the fastener grade to the footing diameter, is driven by the specific conditions of that property. That’s not a premium service. That’s the baseline standard any homeowner in South Florida should expect and demand from their contractor.

Frequently Asked Questions
Broward County is not a uniform market. The design expectations of a waterfront estate in Fort Lauderdale differ from the HOA-governed standards of Weston or the estate-scale perimeters of Parkland. Our team has installed fences and gates across every major Broward municipality, and that local experience shapes every material recommendation and installation decision we make on your property.
In Fort Lauderdale’s waterfront neighborhoods like Harbor Beach, Las Olas Isles, and Rio Vista, salt-air exposure demands marine-grade hardware specifications on every installation. In Weston and Coral Springs, HOA architectural review requirements mean submittal documentation is prepared and managed before construction begins. In Parkland and Davie, estate-scale gate spans frequently exceed 12 feet, requiring the engineered post and footing specifications we apply as standard on all large-format gate projects.
From Pembroke Pines to Hallandale Beach, every installation is specified for the actual conditions of that specific property, not approximated from a regional average.
Every Extreme Decks installation in Broward County includes:
316-grade stainless steel or hot-dipped galvanized fasteners rated for marine-grade applications. The cost difference per fastener is negligible. The performance difference over ten years is the difference between a fence that looks intentional and one that looks neglected.
Cut-end sealing on every field cut. Raw end grain is the most moisture-absorbent surface on any wood product. We treat every cut end with a penetrating sealer before that board is ever set into position. Most contractors skip this step because it adds time to the job.
Post embedment and footing specifications calculated against Broward County’s design wind speed map, not a generic “Florida standard” that applies to Orlando but has no relevance to a waterfront property in Harbor Beach.
