The Catalyst 1-1/2" x 5-1/2" x 8' Vinyl Ranch Rail (SKU 73012399) is the workhorse rail used across Coronado Ranch Rail and Sedona Crossbuck Ranch Rail fence styles. This white vinyl profile is sized to span 8' sections and fit directly into Catalyst’s pre-routed 5" x 5" ranch rail posts, creating a stable, professional-grade post-and-rail fence. Because the rail is sold individually, you can order exactly what you need: 2, 3, or 4 rails per section for Coronado, and 4 rails for Sedona Crossbuck layouts. Built from low-maintenance vinyl, these rails provide the classic ranch-rail look for farms, equestrian properties, and large residential or commercial sites without the upkeep of wood.
Why Choose This Rail
- Purpose-built for Catalyst ranch rail — Verified in manufacturer SKU sheets for use with Coronado and Sedona ranch rail systems.
- Flexible configurations — Supports 2-, 3-, and 4-rail Coronado designs plus 4-rail Sedona Crossbuck layouts using the same rail profile.
- Easy estimating — Standard 8' rail length and clear rails-per-section counts make it simple to calculate quantities for long fence runs.
- Professional grade performance — Designed for ag, horse, and equestrian use as well as residential and commercial projects.
- Consistent appearance — Matching profile and color across all sections and gates keeps the entire ranch rail system looking uniform.
- Low upkeep over time — Vinyl rails clean up with basic soap and water and won’t warp or splinter like wood boards.

Installation
Lay out your Coronado or Sedona fence line and set the appropriate 5" x 5" ranch rail posts in concrete according to the manufacturer’s instructions and local building codes. Once the posts have cured and are plumb and aligned, slide each 1-1/2" x 5-1/2" x 8' rail into the routed openings in the posts, working from one end of the run to the other. Follow the rails-per-section chart to ensure you install the correct number of rails for each Coronado 2-, 3-, or 4-rail configuration, or for Sedona’s 4-rail crossbuck layout. Confirm that all rails are level and evenly spaced before completing the fence and adding any gates or accessories.
Buying Guide
- Match the rail to your style — Use this 1-1/2" x 5-1/2" x 8' rail for Coronado Ranch Rail and Sedona Crossbuck Ranch Rail fences; other Catalyst fence styles use different rail profiles.
- Calculate how many rails you need — Multiply your total number of 8' sections by the rails-per-section from the table above, then add extra pieces for gates, field cuts, and waste.
- Order posts and caps together — Pair these rails with compatible 5" x 5" Coronado or Sedona ranch rail posts and your preferred 5" x 5" post caps for a complete system.
- Consider gates and openings — Remember that ranch rail gates also use this rail profile; plan additional rails as needed for walk or drive gate kits in your layout.
- Plan for future changes — If you may later convert from a 2-rail to a 3-rail fence, consider ordering extra rails now to keep color and batch consistent.
- Review warranty and care — For coverage and maintenance information on Catalyst vinyl components, see the Catalyst Vinyl Fence Warranty.
