Installation
Lay out your fence line, marking 8' panel centers and any gate locations. Call your local utility locating service before digging. For 4' Nantucket panels, use 5" x 5" x 84" vinyl posts set in concrete to the depth required by local code and soil conditions. Keep posts plumb and aligned so that the 4' x 8' panels fit cleanly between them. Insert the Nantucket rails and spade pickets into the routed posts according to the manufacturer’s instructions, keeping the panels level and maintaining a consistent bottom gap above grade. Mix straight, scalloped, and arched panels along the same run as desired, since they all work with the same posts. Finish with 5" x 5" post caps and install matching Nantucket gates at your planned openings.
Buying Guide
- Choose your profile — Use straight panels for clean property lines; add scalloped or arched panels at entries, along walks, or near focal landscaping to create visual interest.
- Plan panel and post counts — Divide your total fence length by 8' to estimate panel count, then add line posts between panels, plus corner and end/gate posts where needed.
- Coordinate with gates — Pair your panel profile with matching Nantucket walk and drive gates, or use a contrasting profile gate for a custom entry look.
- Match with the right posts — Use 5" x 5" x 84" Nantucket picket posts (line, corner, and end/gate) so the rails and pickets seat correctly.
- Consider front-yard visibility — Nantucket is an open picket system, ideal where you want a defined boundary without blocking views; choose a privacy style if screening is the priority.
- Review warranty and care — Before ordering, review the Catalyst Vinyl Fence Warranty and follow cleaning recommendations to keep the fence looking its best.
