Built for the Storm: Hurricane-Ready Fencing in Florida
Every summer, Florida homeowners prepare for hurricane season—and your fence should be ready too. During a storm, a poorly installed or weak fence can become a hazard, breaking apart and damaging property. At Big Sun Fencing, we provide fencing solutions that are both stylish and storm-tough, designed specifically for Florida’s extreme weather.
What Makes a Fence Hurricane-Resistant?
The key is choosing a material and installation method that can withstand high winds and flying debris. Fence posts must be deep-set and reinforced, while panels should be durable, flexible, and securely fastened. This combination helps prevent collapse or blowouts during powerful wind events.
Best Fence Materials for Hurricane Resistance
Dura Fence is our most storm-resilient solution. Constructed of galvanized steel panels with reinforced posts, it stands up to extreme pressure and wind. For those looking for a blend of security and visibility, aluminum fencing is a smart choice. Its open design allows wind to pass through more easily, reducing resistance. Vinyl fencing, when reinforced properly, can also handle moderate storm conditions while offering full privacy.
The Often-Overlooked Weak Point: Gates
Gates are frequently the first failure point in a storm. At Big Sun Fencing, we ensure every gate—whether vinyl, steel, or aluminum—is reinforced with steel framing and equipped with heavy-duty latches. For added security, we offer automated gate systems with backup power, keeping your property secure even when the power is out.
Installation Done Right
Choosing the right materials is only part of the equation. Proper installation is critical to hurricane performance. That’s why our licensed team uses techniques tailored to Florida’s conditions:
- Deep-set concrete footings to anchor every post
- Wind-rated fasteners and hardware for added strength
- Strategic panel spacing to minimize pressure buildup
