Fence Installation in Lighthouse Point, FL
Lighthouse Point is a small city of canals ten minutes south of Boca Raton, laid out so that a remarkable share of its residential lots back onto navigable water. That geography writes the fence brief: powder-coated aluminum, frequently core-mounted on seawall caps, pool barriers on nearly every property, marine-grade hardware throughout, and the tougher Broward wind spec governing the engineering. It is, along with Highland Beach, the most specialized fence environment in the service area.
The standard Lighthouse Point project is a waterfront lot re-fence: open picket aluminum along the side lines, seawall-mounted rail or fence at the water, and a pool barrier tying into the house. Open picket matters twice here, it preserves the canal view that carries the property value, and it lets storm wind through on lots that have no shelter from the east. Solid privacy panels are rare and usually confined to short equipment-screen runs.
Salt exposure on the canals is nearly island-grade: stainless fasteners, marine-grade hinge and latch hardware, and quality powder coat are the difference between a 30 year fence and a 10 year one. Gate hardware on pool barriers gets the most wear of anything on the property, self-closing, self-latching, opening away from the water, and it is worth swinging every pool gate once a year to confirm it still does all three.
Seawall-cap mounting adds a structural wrinkle to every quote: the cap has to be sound, and the core-mount detail is part of the drawing rather than an afterthought. Sequencing matters too, owners planning seawall repair or replacement should do the wall first and the fence second, a coordination point that comes up on the walkthrough more often here than anywhere else.

Lighthouse Point: common questions
- What is different about fencing a Lighthouse Point canal lot?
- The seawall. Mounting a fence on the cap means core-drilling rather than concrete footings, and the cap has to be sound before anything goes into it, so a crumbling seawall gets flagged at the walkthrough. Sequencing matters too: owners planning seawall repair or replacement should do the wall first and the fence second. Open picket aluminum is the standard answer, because it preserves the canal view that carries the property value and lets storm wind through.
