Catalyst Newbury Select Smooth Woodgrain Posts are the structural backbone for Newbury Select Smooth Woodgrain privacy fence runs built with Element Signature rails. These 5" x 5" vinyl posts are color-matched to Newbury Select panels in Cypress and Coastal Cedar, keeping your line, corner, and gate posts consistent from end to end. Length options of 102", 108", and 144" are tailored to support the most common Newbury Select panel configurations: 6′H x 6′W, 6′H x 8′W, and 8′H x 6′W. Built on the same vinyl platform as the panels, these posts integrate with Newbury’s gap-free vertical boards and privacy-focused design. For projects that mix Select Smooth Woodgrain panels with premium TimberGrain styles, you can pair these with Catalyst Newbury TimberGrain Premium LX Posts where a heavier-duty or textured post is desired.

Specifications

Installation (Quick Steps)

• Plan your layout — Determine where you’ll use 6′H x 6′W, 6′H x 8′W, and 8′H x 6′W Newbury Select panels, then match posts: 102", 108", or 144" respectively.
• Mark post locations — Measure centers based on panel width (6′ or 8′) and mark line, corner, and gate post positions. Call for utility locates before digging.
• Dig and set posts — Excavate post holes to the depth and diameter required by local code and site conditions. Plumb each 5" x 5" post in concrete, aligning tops and panel centers.
• Allow concrete to cure — Let footings set fully before hanging panels or gates to avoid shifting. Use temporary bracing where needed.
• Attach panels and gates — Install Newbury Select panels and matching gates per the manufacturer’s instructions, then finish with 5" x 5" post caps and any gate post stiffeners required.

Buying Guide

• Match post length to fence height and width — Use 102" for 6′H x 6′W, 108" for 6′H x 8′W, and 144" for 8′H x 6′W Newbury Select Smooth Woodgrain panels.
• Order by post type — Line posts connect two panels in a straight run; corner posts form 90° turns; end/gate posts terminate runs or frame gates. Plan your layout and count each post type separately.
• Plan for gates — For walk or drive gates, choose posts in the correct length and consider adding aluminum gate post stiffeners for added rigidity, especially on wider gates.
• Coordinate colors with panels — Stick with Cypress or Coastal Cedar to match your Newbury Select Smooth Woodgrain panels and maintain a consistent look.
• Check local codes — Confirm fence height limits, set-back rules, and any wind-load or pool barrier requirements before finalizing post lengths and hole depths.

Frequently Asked Questions

Which Newbury Select Smooth Woodgrain panel sizes are these posts designed for?

These posts are sized for Newbury Select Smooth Woodgrain Solid Vertical Privacy Panels that use the Element Signature rail in three key configurations: 6′H x 6′W (102" posts), 6′H x 8′W (108" posts), and 8′H x 6′W (144" posts).

Are Catalyst Newbury Select Smooth Woodgrain posts pre-routed or blank?

Newbury posts are designed to work within the routed Catalyst system, with openings positioned to accept the Element Signature rails at the proper heights for Newbury Select Smooth Woodgrain panels.

Do I need to set these posts in concrete?

Yes. For proper structural performance and to meet typical building standards, 5" x 5" vinyl posts should be set in concrete footings sized for your local soil, frost depth, and wind conditions.

Can I use these posts with non-Newbury or non-Catalyst vinyl fence panels?

These posts are optimized for Newbury Select Smooth Woodgrain panels using Element Signature rails. While they may physically work with some other systems, the routing, heights, and color match are specifically engineered for Newbury, so using them outside that system is not recommended.

Do these posts include post caps or gate post stiffeners?

Posts are typically sold on their own, with 5" x 5" post caps and optional aluminum gate post stiffeners available separately so you can configure exactly what each fence line and gate opening requires.
