The Catalyst Nantucket Classic Spade Picket Gate completes your Nantucket fence with a welcoming, postcard-style entry. Each 4' Tall gate is offered in two nominal widths — 4' (46" actual leaf width) and 5' (58" actual leaf width) — giving you flexibility for walk gates and wider access points. Just like the panels, Nantucket gates feature 7/8" x 3" spade-topped pickets set between a 2" x 3-1/2" top rail and 2" x 6" bottom rail, and are available in straight, scalloped, and arched profiles so you can match or highlight entries along the fence line. Built from smooth white vinyl and engineered with StayStraight® rail design and SolarGuard® color protection, these gates bring classic charm and low-maintenance performance to front yards, gardens, and other decorative enclosures.
Why Choose This Gate
- Perfect match for Nantucket panels — Straight, scalloped, and arched gate options are specifically designed to coordinate with the Nantucket Classic Spade Picket fence system.
- Flexible top profiles — Keep a uniform look using the same profile for panels and gates, or create a focal entry with a contrasting scalloped or arched gate.
- Two width options — 4' gates are ideal for typical walkways, while 5' gates provide extra clearance for equipment, carts, or wider paths.
- Professional grade construction — Engineered rails, consistent picket spacing, and quality vinyl make these suitable for contractor-grade residential installations.
- Low upkeep — Vinyl construction won’t rot, flake, or need repainting; occasional rinsing is usually enough to keep the gate looking clean.
- Works with standard 5" x 5" posts — Uses the same Nantucket 5" x 5" routed posts and gate post insert as the coordinating fence sections.

Installation
Start by planning your fence layout and marking gate openings for the 4' (46" actual) or 5' (58" actual) Nantucket gate. Call your local utility-marking service before digging. Set 5" x 5" end/gate posts in concrete to the depth required by local code, installing the recommended 5" x 5" x 82" gate post inserts for added strength. Keep the posts plumb, square, and properly spaced for the selected gate width plus hinge and latch clearances. Hang the gate according to the manufacturer’s instructions so that the top profile (straight, scalloped, or arched) lines up visually with adjacent Nantucket panels, maintaining a consistent bottom gap above grade. Finally, install your chosen hinges and latch, adjust for smooth swing and reliable closure, and finish with matching 5" x 5" post caps.
Buying Guide
- Pick your gate profile — Use straight gates for clean, traditional entries, scalloped gates for softer decorative lines, or arched gates where you want a more pronounced focal point.
- Choose the right width — 4' gates are ideal for most walkways and side-yard access; 5' gates provide extra room for mowers, wheelbarrows, and wider paths.
- Coordinate with your panels — Match gate profiles to straight, scalloped, or arched Nantucket panels for a unified look, or intentionally contrast the gate to make the entry stand out.
- Plan gate post reinforcement — Use the specified gate post insert and adequate concrete footings to support the repeated swinging load of the gate over time.
- Select compatible hardware — Choose hinges and a latch designed for vinyl picket gates and sized for 4' height; consider self-closing hinges for front-yard and sidewalk gates where safety is important.
- Review warranty and care — For long-term coverage details and maintenance guidelines, review the Catalyst Vinyl Fence Warranty.

What gate profiles can I choose from?

Do Nantucket gates match the fence panels?

What color are the Nantucket gates?
This listing is for Nantucket Classic Spade Picket gates in White with a smooth vinyl finish, designed to coordinate with White Nantucket panels and posts.
Can I use Nantucket gates as part of a pool fence?
Nantucket is marketed as a decorative open picket system rather than a dedicated pool barrier. If you plan to use it near a pool, check your local building codes to confirm any height, spacing, and latch requirements for compliant pool enclosures.
