Our office is on Del Prado Boulevard. That matters more than it sounds — it means shorter drive times to your estimate, a crew that already knows how Cape Coral's building department reviews a fence permit, and twenty years of installs across a city that is genuinely unusual to build in.
Cape Coral has more canal frontage than almost any city in the world, and roughly half our local work touches a canal lot. Those properties bring seawall setbacks, drainage and utility easements, and a usable footprint that is frequently narrower than the survey first suggests. We walk the line during the site visit so the fence you approve is one that can actually be permitted.
The other Cape Coral constant is wind. Every named storm that tracks into Southwest Florida puts load on these fences, and it shapes what we recommend — open pickets over solid panels on exposed lots, deeper footings, and corner bracing that is not negotiable.
The default recommendation for canal-front and southwest Cape properties. No rust in salt air, no maintenance, and open pickets that pass wind instead of catching it. $25–$45/ft.
Full privacy with no rot, no staining, and no termites. UV-stabilized for Cape Coral sun. On exposed lots we upsize posts and footings accordingly. $28–$50/ft.
Board-on-board, shadowbox, and dog-ear in Florida-grade UC4B lumber. The most affordable full-privacy option, and still very common across the Cape. $18–$36/ft.
Cape Coral has an enormous number of pool homes and Florida's barrier requirements apply to every one. We build to code, pull the permit, and stay through inspection.
The most economical option for larger north Cape lots, dog runs, and commercial parcels. Excellent hurricane performance. $12–$22/ft.
Storm damage, leaning posts, sagging gates, broken panels. We repair fences we did not install and document damage for insurance claims.
Canal properties are the defining feature of this city and they come with constraints that a standard suburban lot does not.
You generally cannot fence to the seawall. There is almost always a maintenance and drainage easement behind it, and it frequently eats several feet of what looks like usable yard.
Cape Coral's canals are saltwater. Hardware corrodes here the way it does on the coast, which is why we specify stainless or marine-grade fasteners on waterfront installs.
Most canal owners do not want a solid wall across their water frontage. Aluminum picket along the rear with vinyl privacy on the side yards is the most common configuration we build.
The fence has to accommodate how you actually use the water — gate placement and swing arc get planned around the dock, not the other way round.
Cape Coral soil drains fast, which is good for water and poor for lateral post stability. Footings get sized for the soil actually on your lot.
Open water means nothing breaks the wind before it reaches your fence. Open pickets over solid panels on the water-facing run is usually the right call.
Cape Coral is an incorporated city with its own Department of Community Development, so fence permits go through the city rather than Lee County. The application needs a current survey or site plan with the proposed fence line drawn against your boundaries, easements, and any seawall, plus material and height specifications.
Corner lots get additional review for sight-triangle safety, and canal lots for setback and easement compliance. We prepare and submit the package as part of every installation.
The single thing that speeds a Cape Coral fence project up is having a current survey on hand. It tells us — and the city — exactly where your line is, where the easements sit, and what you can actually build. If you do not have one, we will tell you during the estimate whether you need to order one.
We install across the entire city — the southwest and southeast quadrants, Cape Harbour, Tarpon Point, Del Prado, Santa Barbara, the Pine Island Road corridor, Burnt Store, and the north Cape neighborhoods above Pine Island Road. Canal-front, waterfront, and inland lots all handled.
Premier Fence of SWFL serves all of Collier, Lee, and Charlotte County — including communities not listed above. If you are in Southwest Florida, call 239-566-8642 and we will tell you straight away whether we cover your address.
Yes. Cape Coral is an incorporated city and fence permits go through the City of Cape Coral, not Lee County. The application needs a survey or site plan showing the fence line against your boundaries and easements. Premier Fence prepares and files it as part of every installation.
Not right up to it. Cape Coral canal lots carry a maintenance and drainage easement behind the seawall, and building into it will fail permit review. The exact setback varies by lot, which is why we confirm it against your survey during the site visit rather than assuming.
A typical rear-and-side-yard enclosure runs 180–220 linear feet. At chain link ($12–$22/ft) that is a very different project than vinyl ($28–$50/ft) over the same footage. Wood is $18–$36 and aluminum $25–$45. We measure and quote in writing — see our SWFL cost guide for the full breakdown.
Powder-coated aluminum, for two reasons: the canals are saltwater so corrosion resistance matters, and open pickets pass wind rather than catching it on an exposed water-facing run. Most canal owners also prefer not to wall off the view. Vinyl privacy on the side yards with aluminum across the rear is the most common configuration we build.
Yes — and we repair fences other companies built. Storm damage, leaning posts, sagging gates, broken panels, and pool barrier repairs that restore code compliance. See our Cape Coral fence repair page.
We're local. Tell us about your property and we'll walk the site, talk through materials, and put a written number in your hands — no pressure and no obligation.
