Catalyst Chesapeake Standard 5" x 5" Posts

Product Description

Catalyst Chesapeake Standard 5″ x 5″ Posts — Routed for Element Reserve Rails (Line, Corner, End/Gate)

• System-matched routing — Factory pockets align with Element Reserve 1.75″ x 7″ rails used on Chesapeake Standard panels.
• Three configurations — Choose Line, Corner, or End/Gate posts to match your layout.
• Smooth solid colors — Coordinates with White, Sand, and Clay Chesapeake sections for a cohesive look.
• Durable, low-maintenance — Fence-grade vinyl with UV protection; no painting or staining required.
• Sold individually — Order posts, panels, caps, and gate reinforcements separately for accurate takeoffs.

Catalyst Chesapeake Standard 5″ x 5″ Posts provide the routed structure your closed-spindle-accent privacy panels require. Each post is purpose-built for the Chesapeake Standard 6′ x 8′ panel and accepts Element Reserve rails for straight, uniform lines. Select the proper post type for each position and finish with color-matched 5″ x 5″ caps like our Standard Pyramid Cap to complete the look.

Why Choose This

• Clean aesthetics — Routed design minimizes visible brackets to keep the profile crisp at eye level.
• Layout flexibility — Line, corner, and end/gate options simplify planning straight runs, turns, and openings.
• Built to last — UV-stabilized vinyl cleans easily and maintains color without repainting.

Specifications

Installation (Quick Steps)

• Lay out centers — Mark 8′ panel spacing; confirm corners and gate openings on your plan.
• Set posts in concrete — Excavate per local frost/wind requirements; plumb posts and align routing toward the run.
• Allow cure — Let footings set fully before loading rails and infill.
• Assemble sections — Seat Element Reserve rails in routed pockets; load privacy boards and the closed-spindle accent per panel instructions.
• Reinforce gates — At openings, add a 5″ x 5″ Gate Post Insert for stiffness and reliable hardware bite.

Buying Guide

• Match post type to position — Use Line posts between panels, Corner posts at turns, and End/Gate posts at terminations and gate openings.
• Order components separately — Posts, panels, caps, and hardware are sold individually for accurate quantities; finish with 5″ x 5″ caps.
• Color coordination — Choose White, Sand, or Clay to match Chesapeake Standard panels for a uniform appearance.

Frequently Asked Questions

Are these posts compatible with Chesapeake Standard panels?

Yes. They are routed for the Element Reserve rails used on Chesapeake Standard 6′ x 8′ sections.

Do I need different posts for corners and gates?

Yes. Order dedicated Corner posts for direction changes and End/Gate posts where the fence terminates or a gate is installed.

Are caps included with the posts?

No. Caps are sold separately so you can choose your preferred 5″ x 5″ profile and color.

Can I use these posts with other Catalyst styles?

These posts are intended for Chesapeake Standard with Element Reserve rails. Other styles may require different routing or rail profiles.

How do I keep posts aligned over time?

Set posts in properly sized concrete footings, keep them plumb during cure, and avoid loading rails/infill until the concrete has fully set.
