Fort Myers Fence and Gate Iona, FL
Fence Installation in Iona, FL
Fence installation in Iona is shaped by water. Many lots back onto canals, bays or preserve, and Lee County limits how close a fence can get to the water's edge. Fort Myers Fence and Gate connects Iona homeowners with independent local fence contractors that choose salt-tolerant materials, respect waterfront setbacks and handle the Lee County permit.

Water on Three Sides
Iona is unincorporated Lee County between Fort Myers and the beaches. In the 2020 Census it covered 6.6 square miles of land and 3.6 square miles of water. Lee County's LDC §34-1744 keeps fences 5 feet back from the mean high-water line unless there's a seawall, and limits front-yard fences to 3 feet, or 4 feet for open mesh.
That's why open aluminum is so common on Iona canal lots: it meets the rules, holds up in salt air and keeps the view. See canal and waterfront fence.
Salt Air Choices
Powder-Coated Aluminum
Doesn't rust the way steel does. Ask for stainless or coated fasteners.
Vinyl
Doesn't corrode, but tall solid panels catch a lot of wind.
Steel and Iron
Needs a serious coating near salt water. See ornamental iron fence.
Homes That Wait for You
On Census Day 2020, 36.6 percent of Iona's 13,876 homes were counted as vacant, a count that includes seasonal homes. Absentee owners can sign off on the design, let the contractor handle the permit and install, and get photos of each stage.
