Product Description
Catalyst Hudson Standard Semi-Private Gate — 6' Tall x 4' & 5' Wide, White
- System-matched Hudson gate — Built in the Hudson Semi-Private 6" style so the rails, picket profile, and spacing align with Hudson 6' x 8' semi-private panels.
- Two gate sizes — Available in 4' (49-1/2" actual width) and 5' (62-1/2" actual width) for standard walk gates or wider access points.
- Balanced privacy and airflow — Semi-private 6" vertical spacing lets light and breezes through while softening sightlines at the gate opening.
- Vertex Base Rail system — Uses Catalyst’s 2" x 6" Vertex Base rail profile to help keep the gate frame straight and aligned with the rest of the fence.
- Classic White finish — Offered in White to coordinate with Hudson semi-private fence panels and posts.
- Durable vinyl construction — Vinyl gate leaf resists moisture and weathering and never needs painting or staining like wood.
- Hardware sold separately — Gate posts, reinforcement inserts, and all hardware — including hinges and latches — are sold separately so you can choose components that fit your application.
The Catalyst Hudson Standard Semi-Private Gate completes any Hudson Semi-Private 6" fence run with an entry that looks like a continuation of the panel system. The gate is built using the same semi-private vertical picket layout and Vertex Base rail profile as the Hudson 6' x 8' panels, so rail lines and picket spacing carry cleanly across the opening. Available in White and in two useful sizes — 4' (49-1/2" actual width) and 5' (62-1/2" actual width) — it works equally well for walkways, side-yard entries, and wider access points. Use with 5" x 5" Hudson/Montauk system gate posts and specified gate post inserts for best performance. Posts, caps, inserts, hinges, and latches are all sold separately.
Why Choose This
- Designed specifically for Hudson — Part of the Hudson Semi-Private 6" system, with matching rail profiles and picket dimensions to create a unified look.
- Two widths, one style — Choose the 4' gate for typical walk-through openings or the 5' gate when you need extra clearance or want to pair two gates for a double opening.
- Comfortable “not boxed-in” feel — Semi-private vertical spacing is engineered to let in natural light and airflow so outdoor spaces feel more open while still screened.
- Vertex Base bottom rail — Uses the same nominal 2" x 6" Vertex Base bottom rail used in Hudson panels to help prevent sag and maintain straight lines.
- Low-maintenance vinyl — White vinyl construction won’t rot, peel, or require repainting; light cleaning is typically all that’s needed.
- Flexible hardware options — Because posts, hinges, and latches are sold separately, you can select hardware that fits your local codes and usage (yard entry, pool, or drive access).

Installation
Set 5" x 5" vinyl gate posts in concrete with enough depth to support a 6' semi-private gate, following local code and frost-depth requirements. For Hudson gates, the system documentation specifies 5" x 5" x 108" posts with a 5" x 5" x 106" gate post insert at the hinge side for additional reinforcement. Align the gate rails with the rails on adjacent Hudson panels so the semi-private picket pattern lines up across the opening. Install heavy-duty, vinyl-compatible hinges and a latch appropriate for your use (yard entry, pool, or drive), ensuring the gate swings freely and latches securely. Hardware (hinges and latches) is not included with the gate and must be purchased separately.
Buying Guide
- Choose your width — Use the 4' (49-1/2" actual) gate for most walkways and side yards; select the 5' (62-1/2" actual) gate where extra clearance is needed or when planning a double gate.
- Match the system — Pair this gate with Hudson 6' x 8' semi-private panels and Hudson/Montauk 5" x 5" posts for best fit and appearance.
- Order hardware separately — Plan for hinges, latches, and a 5" x 5" x 106" gate post insert when you order the gate and posts; all hardware is sold separately.
- Consider airflow and screening — Hudson’s semi-private spacing is ideal when you want ventilation and filtered views rather than a fully solid gate.
- Decide on single vs. double gate — Two Hudson gates can be paired for a wider double opening; be sure to use reinforced hinge posts and appropriate center latching hardware.
