How does the coast change fence choices in Hollywood?
East of the Intracoastal and along the canals, salt in the air works on every piece of metal in a fence. Galvanized steel and plain hardware rust out sooner here. Aluminum, vinyl and stainless or coated hardware last far longer. Farther west, salt is less of a factor and wood becomes a reasonable choice again.
What fence projects come up most in Hollywood?
- Replacing a weathered wood fence with vinyl on a smaller lot.
- Adding a pool barrier before selling or after a family grows.
- Low aluminum front-yard fences on older homes.
- Rebuilding a side gate that rusted shut.
Does Hollywood follow Fort Lauderdale's fence rules?
No. Hollywood is its own city with its own building and zoning departments, so the permit process and fence height limits come from the City of Hollywood. Like the rest of Broward, it sits in the High-Velocity Hurricane Zone of the Florida Building Code. HOAs and condo associations can add their own approval step.
