Ipe, Composite & Hardwood Fences for South Florida Homes

Deck Builders in Miami-Dade
Extreme Decks is a certified fence and gate installer serving Palm Beach County, Florida. Specializing in Ipe hardwood, capped composite, and thermally modified wood, they build privacy fences and custom gates engineered for salt air, hurricane-force winds, and year-round UV exposure. Every project includes permits, marine-grade hardware, and a dedicated project manager from first call to final walkthrough.

Why Most Fences in Palm Beach County
Fail Before Year Three

The pattern is consistent across Palm Beach County: a homeowner hires a low-bid crew, the fence looks great at installation, and within 24 months the boards are staining, the posts are shifting, and the gate won’t close straight. The cause is almost never the material. It’s the details nobody talks about in the sales conversation.


The most common failure points we see are predictable and preventable. Standard coated screws corrode within 12-18 months in coastal environments. Posts set without proper concrete footings shift with the first major rain cycle. Cut ends left untreated become entry points for moisture and insects within a single wet season.


At Extreme Decks, we’ve built over 1,500 projects across South Florida. We know what fails here and exactly why. Every decision we make on-site, from fastener specification to footing depth, is engineered against Palm Beach County’s specific climate conditions, not copied from a general installation manual.

Ipe, Composite, or Thermally Modified Wood
Which Fence Material Is Right for Your Property

There is no universal answer for Palm Beach County homeowners, and any contractor who gives you one without walking your property first isn’t giving you advice. They’re giving you inventory.

Brazilian Ipe is the benchmark for oceanfront and Intracoastal properties. With a Janka hardness of 3,684 lbf and natural resistance to rot, termites, and fungal decay, it delivers a 25-40 year lifespan with minimal upkeep. A periodic oil application every 12-24 months is all it needs to hold its deep chocolate-brown tone.


Capped composite from Trex or TimberTech is the zero-maintenance solution. Fully encased in a protective polymer shell, it resists salt air, UV, and moisture with no staining, sealing, or sanding required. Manufacturer warranties run 25-30 years on fade and stain resistance.


Thermally modified pine is the fastest-growing category we install across South Florida. Kiln-treated at 400°F, it delivers the aesthetic of exotic hardwood at a more accessible price point, with genuine dimensional stability in Florida’s humidity cycles.

How We Build Every Fence and Gate in Palm Beach County
The Extreme Decks Installation Standard

Most contractors show up with a crew and start digging. We start with a technical site evaluation, because a fence built without one in Palm Beach County isn’t a fence. It’s a liability waiting to express itself.

Before a single post goes in the ground, we assess soil composition, grade changes, setback compliance, HOA requirements, and underground utilities. Every post is set in poured 3,000 PSI concrete footings sized to Palm Beach County wind load requirements, finished with a crown slope that directs water away from the base.


Every Ipe and hardwood board is pre-drilled before fastening. Every field cut receives end-grain sealer within 30 minutes of cutting. Every gate over 48 inches wide is built with an internal aluminum or steel frame to prevent the diagonal sag that wood-only frames develop under their own weight.


The project isn’t closed until we walk the property with you and confirm every panel is plumb and every gate swings true.

Frequently Asked Questions

How much does fence installation cost in Palm Beach County?
Fence installation in Palm Beach County ranges from $45 to $85 per linear foot for composite systems and $75 to $150+ per linear foot for Ipe or Cumaru hardwood, depending on height, design complexity, and gate count. Gate systems are quoted separately and typically range from $800 to $3,500+ per gate. Every Extreme Decks proposal includes materials, labor, and permit fees with no hidden charges.
What is the best fence material for a coastal property in Palm Beach County?
For oceanfront and Intracoastal properties, Brazilian Ipe hardwood or capped composite from Trex or TimberTech with 316 marine-grade stainless steel hardware is the combination we specify most consistently. Both systems resist salt-air corrosion effectively. The decision between them comes down to aesthetic preference and maintenance tolerance — Ipe with periodic oiling versus composite with zero maintenance required.
Do I need a permit to install a fence in Palm Beach County?
Yes. In most residential zones across Palm Beach County, a permit is required for fence installation. Requirements vary by municipality — Boca Raton, Delray Beach, Jupiter, and unincorporated Palm Beach County each have specific codes. Extreme Decks pulls all required permits as part of every project scope. An unpermitted fence creates title complications and potential fines at resale.
How long does fence installation take in Palm Beach County?
A standard residential installation of 100 to 200 linear feet typically runs 3 to 7 business days from first post to final walkthrough, depending on site conditions and gate count. Projects requiring HOA architectural review prior to permitting may add 1 to 3 weeks to the pre-construction phase. We provide a detailed timeline in every proposal before work begins.
How do Ipe fences hold up to hurricanes in South Florida?
When properly installed with posts set to Palm Beach County wind load requirements, spacing at 6 feet on center maximum in coastal exposure zones, and gate frames internally reinforced, Ipe fence systems perform exceptionally in hurricane conditions. Ipe's density means panels don't become airborne projectiles the way hollow vinyl or lightweight aluminum sections can. The critical variable is always the post foundation.
Will my HOA approve an Ipe or composite fence in Palm Beach County?
Most HOAs in Palm Beach County's luxury communities approve both Ipe hardwood and capped composite fence systems, particularly horizontal board designs popular in communities like Royal Palm Yacht & Country Club, Admirals Cove, and PGA National. We review your HOA's architectural guidelines during the proposal phase and prepare submission documentation for architectural review boards when required.
What is the difference between Ipe and composite fencing for a luxury property?
Ipe delivers an authentic hardwood aesthetic, exceptional density, and a 25 to 40 year lifespan with minimal upkeep. Capped composite delivers consistent color over time, zero maintenance, and manufacturer warranties of 25 to 30 years. Both are appropriate for luxury builds in Palm Beach County. The right choice depends on your lifestyle and maintenance preference, not just your budget.
Can Extreme Decks install a motorized or automated gate in Palm Beach County?
Yes. We install automated swing and sliding gate systems integrated with keypads, intercom systems, and remote operators. We coordinate the electrical rough-in with your licensed electrician and handle gate fabrication, installation, and operator mounting. Automated gate systems are frequently specified for waterfront estates and gated communities across Jupiter Island, Palm Beach, and Boca Raton.
How do I maintain an Ipe fence in South Florida's climate?
Ipe requires less maintenance than most homeowners expect. A UV-inhibiting penetrating hardwood oil applied every 12 to 24 months is sufficient to maintain the wood's original color in South Florida's climate. If you prefer the natural silver-gray patina Ipe develops when left unfinished, no maintenance is required beyond an annual inspection of fasteners and hardware. We provide a written maintenance guide with every hardwood installation.
Does Extreme Decks repair or restore existing fences in Palm Beach County?
Yes. We assess and restore existing fence systems throughout Palm Beach County, including board replacement, post re-setting, gate rehinging, hardware upgrades, and full hardwood refinishing. If your current fence was installed without proper fasteners or foundation work, we provide an honest structural assessment and recommend the most cost-effective path forward, whether that's targeted repair or full replacement.

Why Palm Beach County Homeowners Choose Extreme Decks Over a General Fence Crew

There is no shortage of people willing to build a fence in South Florida. The difference between them and Extreme Decks comes down to one structural decision: the crew that shows up is our crew.


We do not use subcontractors. Every technician on your project is a uniformed, background-checked Extreme Decks installer with direct experience in Ipe, composite, and thermally modified wood systems across Palm Beach County’s specific coastal microclimates. Not a generalist pulled from a labor platform the morning of your project.


You also get direct access to the project manager who oversaw your installation, not a customer service queue or an automated response. When your gate needs adjustment six months after installation, you call the person who built it.


Manufacturer-certified for Trex and TimberTech systems. Permit-ready across Palm Beach County municipalities. Over 1,500 completed projects across South Florida. That accountability changes how we build, every single time.

Fence Installation Costs in Palm Beach County — What to Expect and What to Ask For

Pricing transparency is one of the most consistent pain points homeowners report before finding us. Vague estimates, surprise charges after the deposit, and proposals that don’t specify materials or hardware are the norm with general fence crews operating across South Florida.

Here is what realistic pricing looks like for Palm Beach County in 2025:


Composite systems (Trex, TimberTech) range from $45 to $85 per linear foot. Ipe or Cumaru hardwood installations range from $75 to $150+ per linear foot, depending on fence height, design complexity, and gate count. Gate systems with hardware and internal framing are quoted separately and typically range from $800 to $3,500+ per gate.


Every Extreme Decks proposal includes materials, labor, permit fees, and a detailed timeline before any work begins. No generic phone estimates. No surprises after the deposit clears. If a proposal doesn’t specify the fastener grade, the concrete mix, or who pulls the permit, ask again before you sign anything.
