Catalyst Newbury Select Smooth Woodgrain Solid Vertical Privacy Gates complete your Newbury Select fence with walk and drive entries that look like a seamless extension of the fence line. Each gate is built to coordinate with the solid vertical privacy design of Newbury Select Smooth Woodgrain panels, so the tongue-and-groove infill and decorative rails carry straight across from panel to gate. Gates are offered in 4′ (46" actual) and 5′ (58" actual) leaf widths, sized to work with Newbury Select 6′ x 6′, 6′ x 8′, and 8′ x 6′ sections. Choose the 4′ gate for most pedestrian entries, or pair two 5′ gates to form a convenient double-drive opening for vehicles, trailers, or equipment. For a fully coordinated system, match these gates with Newbury Vertical Slat Vinyl Privacy Fence panels and Newbury posts in Cypress or Coastal Cedar.

Installation (Quick Steps)
- Plan your openings — Decide where you need walk gates (typically 4′ / 46" leaf) and where you want a wider opening using a pair of 5′ / 58" gates for a double-drive.
- Set gate posts — Install 5" x 5" gate posts in properly sized concrete footings, allowing for hardware clearances and the actual gate leaf widths. Consider reinforcing posts with aluminum gate post stiffeners, especially at double-drive openings.
- Hang the gate(s) — Attach hinges to the gate frame and gate post, ensuring the gate is level and swings freely. For double drives, install one gate at a time and align the meeting edges carefully.
- Install latch and drop rods — Add a latch at the walk gate or active leaf, and use a drop rod or cane bolt at the inactive leaf on double-drive gates to hold it in the closed or open position.
- Fine-tune and secure — Adjust hinge tension and latch alignment as needed, then check clearance over the ground through the full swing to ensure smooth operation.
Buying Guide
- Choose gate width — A 4′ (46" actual) gate is usually perfect for everyday walk-through access, while a 5′ (58" actual) leaf is ideal to pair into a double gate for mower, trailer, or vehicle access.
- Match gate height to your fence — Order gates that correspond to your Newbury Select Smooth Woodgrain fence height (6′ or 8′) for a clean top line.
- Plan gate post reinforcement — Heavier or wider gates are easier on your posts when you reinforce them. Add aluminum inserts or similar stiffeners for key gate posts, especially on double-drive openings.
- Coordinate hardware — Choose hinges and latches rated for vinyl gates and sized for your gate width and weight. For a cohesive look, pair these gates with vinyl-compatible hardware in finishes that match nearby accents.
- Confirm layout and code requirements — Ensure gate locations and swing directions work with slopes, driveways, pools, and local access or pool-code rules before finalizing your order.
