PE-sealed fence drawings for Fort Myers, Cape Coral, Bonita Springs, Estero and Lehigh Acres — wind-load calculations sized for Lee County, ready for Lee County's stricter high-wind plan review. Same-day quote, most packages complete in 5–7 business days.
Not every fence needs engineering — but tall, solid, masonry and block-wall fences do in Lee County, and that means PE-stamped drawings. We size the fence for your address's wind speed and package it for Lee County's stricter high-wind plan review.
In Lee County it depends on the fence. Short, open wood or chain-link fences are often exempt. But a masonry or concrete block wall, a solid PVC/vinyl or composite fence, or any fence above the local height threshold is a wind-loaded structure — it needs a permit and sealed structural drawings. A solid fence acts like a wall: wind pushes on the whole surface and the posts and footings have to carry it. Confirm the specifics with Lee County's stricter high-wind plan review before you build.
For a solid or masonry fence this is the number that governs the post size, embedment depth and footing. At 172 mph, a 6-foot solid fence develops real lateral pressure across its whole face — which is exactly why Lee County requires sealed engineering for these fences and why generic post-spacing charts will not clear review.
We prepare fence permit packages across Lee County, including Fort Myers, Cape Coral, Bonita Springs, Estero and Lehigh Acres. Wherever your site is, the drawings are sealed for your address's exact conditions.
Franca Engineering prepares fence permit packages from $800 — full PE-stamped drawings, wind-load calculations for Lee County, and response to plan-review comments (re-sealing until approved is included). County permit fees are separate and paid to the building department.
Send your fence type, height and length plus your address — we quote the same day and most packages are ready in 5–7 business days.

Open wood or chain-link fences under the height limit are often exempt, but masonry/block walls, solid PVC/vinyl fences, and any fence over the local height threshold require a permit and PE-sealed drawings in Lee County. Confirm with Lee County's stricter high-wind plan review.
Usually yes if it is solid and tall. A solid vinyl fence catches full wind pressure across its face, so at Lee County's 172 mph design wind speed the posts and footings must be engineered. Sealed drawings prove it holds.
Engineering drawings are usually ready in 5–7 business days. Plan review through Lee County's stricter high-wind plan review then typically runs one to three weeks, faster when the package is complete and sealed on the first submission.
