Product Description
Catalyst Madison Standard Solid Privacy Gate — Horizontal, Smooth Solid Colors
- Seamless system match — Designed to coordinate with Madison Standard Horizontal Privacy Panels in smooth solid colors (White, Sand, Gray).
- Two practical widths — Choose 4′ (46″ actual) for walk entries or 5′ (58″ actual) for wider access or paired double-drive openings.
- Horizontal full-privacy infill — Tongue-and-groove boards maintain a solid, gap-free screen through the entry.
- Element Reserve frame — Built around the Madison system’s Element Reserve rail profile for clean lines and dependable rigidity.
- Hardware sold separately — Choose vinyl-compatible hinges/latches rated for the gate size and traffic level.
The Madison Standard Solid Privacy Gate completes your horizontal fence runs with the same smooth solid-color look and full-privacy performance as the panels. Each 6′-tall gate uses horizontal tongue-and-groove infill and Element Reserve rails for a unified top line and sturdy frame. Select the right width for your opening—46″ for everyday pedestrian access or 58″ for equipment clearance; pair two 58″ leaves for a double-drive. For a cohesive finish, pair with Madison Standard Panels and matching 5″ x 5″ post caps like the Standard Pyramid Cap. Reinforce gate posts with 5″ x 5″ Gate Post Inserts for long-term alignment.
