| Select Smooth Woodgrain Pyramid | Smooth wood-inspired colors that complement Newbury Select Smooth Woodgrain panels. | Different finish than solid-color systems. | Projects pairing with Select Smooth Woodgrain fences. |
| New England Caps | Stepped, flared silhouette for feature posts and entries. | More visually prominent than a pyramid cap. | Gate posts, corners, and focal transitions where added detail is desired. |
