Product Description

Catalyst Madison Select Smooth Woodgrain Horizontal Privacy Fence Panel — Element Reserve Rail

• Modern horizontal look — Clean, stacked-board appearance for contemporary curb appeal.
• Select Smooth Woodgrains — Offered in Coastal Cedar and Cypress for a realistic wood-inspired finish at a more economical price than textured TimberGrain LX.
• Element Reserve rail — Built on the 1.75" x 7" Element Reserve rail with StayStraight® technology for long-run stability.
• Full privacy — Horizontal tongue-and-groove infill maintains a gap-free screen when installed to spec.
• Sized for fast layouts — Panel options in 6' x 6' and 6' x 8' simplify takeoffs and post spacing.

Madison Select Smooth Woodgrain brings a modern, horizontal aesthetic to privacy fencing while keeping the low-maintenance benefits of vinyl. The Select Smooth Woodgrain colors—Coastal Cedar and Cypress—deliver a convincing wood-inspired look without the upkeep, and at a more accessible price point than textured TimberGrain LX. Panels are engineered around the Element Reserve 1.75" x 7" rail with StayStraight® to help resist sag and waviness across long runs. Choose 6' x 6' for tighter yards or 6' x 8' to reduce post count on straight lines. Finish the system with color-matched caps like our Select Woodgrain Pyramid Cap or the Select Woodgrain New England Cap for accent posts.

Why Choose This

• Contemporary style — Horizontal planks modernize spaces where vertical privacy fences feel too traditional.
• Economical wood look — Smooth woodgrain films offer the visual warmth of wood at a lower cost than textured LX TimberGrain.
• Stable, clean lines — Element Reserve rails with StayStraight® help keep rails true and top lines uniform.
• Installer friendly — Standard 6' and 8' widths streamline post spacing and material lists.

Specifications

Installation (Quick Steps)

• Lay out posts — Space centers for 6' or 8' panel widths; set 5" x 5" posts plumb in concrete to local frost/wind requirements.
• Install structural U-channels — Fasten structural post u-channels between routes on each post (per manual) before infill.
• Set bottom rail — Insert the bottom rail into routed openings at the first post, level, and secure as directed.
• Load infill horizontally — Slide boards in from the side/bottom and stack upward; boards may start at a slight angle for easier insertion.
• Cap with top rail — Insert the top rail over the stacked boards and into routed openings, then finish with matching post caps.

Buying Guide

• Choose panel width — 6' wide helps around corners and short spans; 8' wide minimizes post count on long straight runs.
• Coordinate components — Pair panels with color-matched Select Woodgrain caps and consider 5" x 5" gate post inserts at gate openings.
• Compare finishes — Want deeper, textured wood visuals? See Madison TimberGrain Premium LX. Prefer classic vertical? Consider Newbury Select Smooth Woodgrain.
• Plan gates early — Select 46" walk or 58" drive leaves in matching height/color, and reinforce gate posts as needed.
