Product Description
- Custom-Width Gate Building: Build a Chesapeake TimberGrain gate up to 50-1/2" wide using one gate kit + one Chesapeake TimberGrain panel (sold separately).
- Included Components: (2) steel-reinforced gate uprights and (2) upright caps; infill pickets and rails come from the panel for a perfect match.
- TimberGrain Finishes: Available in Arctic Blend, Sierra Blend, Brazilian Blend, and Weathered Blend.
- Ideal for Replacements: Precisely size the gate to your existing opening without moving posts.
- Hardware-Ready: Hinges and latch sold separately so you can choose standard or pool-code hardware.
- Warranty: Backed by the Catalyst Vinyl Fence Warranty.
The Catalyst Chesapeake TimberGrain Closed Spindle Privacy Gate Kit lets you create a custom-width gate that mirrors the Chesapeake panel’s look—closed spindle accent above a full privacy base. Use the supplied steel-reinforced uprights for strength, then harvest the vertical pickets and horizontal rails from a Chesapeake TimberGrain panel so the color, texture, and profiles match perfectly across your fence run.
Important: Gate Kits do not come with the horizontal rails, veritical pickets, or spindles. You must use a Chesapeake TimberGrain panel along with a gate kit to construct a gate. Each Kit includes the vertical gate uprights and internal rail channels only.

Buying Guide
- Replacement vs. New: Use a gate kit for replacements where the opening is fixed. For new openings, consider a preassembled Chesapeake gate for faster installs.
- Posts & Reinforcement: Use 5"×5" Chesapeake posts and add aluminum stiffeners to both hinge and latch posts to prevent hardware pull-out.
- Hardware Clearance: Plan your post-to-post opening to include hinge/latch clearances and reveals (typically ~2-3/4" total, hardware-dependent).
- Color Match: Select the same TimberGrain blend as your panels to maintain uniform appearance.
- Double Gates: Order two kits and confirm combined leaf widths + hardware clearances before setting posts.
Frequently Asked Questions
A: Two steel-reinforced uprights and two upright caps. The pickets and rails come from a Chesapeake TimberGrain panel so the gate matches your fence exactly.
Q: How wide can I build my gate?A: Up to 50-1/2" with one kit. Wider spans may be possible with an extension kit or a double-gate setup.
Q: Is hardware included?A: Hinges and latch are sold separately, so you can choose standard or pool-code hardware.
Q: Do I need post stiffeners?A: Strongly recommended. Install 5"×5" aluminum stiffeners in both hinge and latch posts to keep hardware tight over time.
Q: When should I choose a preassembled gate instead?A: For new builds where the opening isn’t set yet, a preassembled gate speeds installation and ensures a factory-square leaf.
Q: Can I create a double gate?A: Yes. Use two kits and the required number of panels, then add a drop rod and center stop as needed. Be sure to account for hardware clearances.
