Catalyst Newbury Standard Vinyl Fence Posts are the structural backbone of the Newbury Standard Solid Vertical privacy system. These 5" x 5" routed posts are sized and configured to receive Newbury Element Signature 1.75" x 5.5" rails and tongue-and-groove boards, keeping your fence lines straight and your panel spacing precise. Because Newbury is offered in multiple heights and widths, post length is chosen to match the specific panel size — for example, 6′ x 6′ panels use a different post length than 6′ x 8′ panels. Posts are available in smooth solid colors that coordinate with Newbury Standard panels, so your line, corner, and gate posts blend seamlessly into the design.
Why Choose This
- Made for Newbury Standard with Element Signature rail — Ensures proper rail fit, post spacing, and panel height alignment without guesswork.
- Correct length for each panel size — Posts are sized for in-ground installation with the right amount of embedment for the matching Newbury panel height and width.
- Routed for a clean look — Rail pockets in the post keep brackets and fasteners to a minimum for a cleaner, more finished appearance.
- Flexible configurations — Available in line, corner, and end/gate styles so you can handle straight runs, turns, and openings in the same system.
- System-matched accessories — Works with Newbury gates and 5" x 5" caps (pyramid, New England, etc.) to finish the layout; consider aluminum inserts at key gate posts for extra rigidity.

Installation (Quick Steps)
- Lay out your fence — Choose Newbury Standard panel heights and widths, then mark post locations based on those panel widths.
- Select the correct post length — For each panel size (for example, 6′ x 6′ vs. 6′ x 8′), use the corresponding post length that provides sufficient embedment for your local code and soil conditions.
- Dig and set posts — Excavate holes to the required depth/diameter, set 5" x 5" posts in concrete, and plumb them while ensuring the correct spacing between post centers.
- Allow concrete to cure — Let posts set fully so they do not move when you load them with panels and gates.
- Install panels and caps — Insert Element Signature rails and Newbury boards into the routed posts per the panel instructions, then finish with matching 5" x 5" post caps and any gate hardware.
Buying Guide
- Match posts to panel size — Always choose posts listed for your specific panel height and width; a 6′ x 6′ run and a 6′ x 8′ run typically use different post lengths.
- Count post types carefully — Line posts go between panels in straight runs; corner posts at direction changes; end/gate posts at terminations and gate openings. Sketch your layout and tally each type.
- Plan for gates — At walk or drive gates, use end/gate posts matched to the panel height and consider reinforcing them with aluminum inserts and heavier-duty hinges.
- Coordinate with panel colors — Order posts in the same color family as your Newbury Standard panels (White, Sand, Clay, Gray where available) for a consistent look.
- Compare systems if needed — If you are still deciding between Newbury Standard and woodgrain options, review Newbury Select Smooth Woodgrain and Newbury TimberGrain Premium LX before locking in your posts and panels.
Frequently Asked Questions
- How do I choose the correct post length for my Newbury Standard fence?
- Select posts that are specified for the exact Newbury Standard panel height and width you are using. For example, 6′ x 6′ sections typically use a different post length than 6′ x 8′ sections, to allow for proper burial depth and panel height.
- Are these posts only for Newbury Standard panels with Element Signature rails?
- Yes, this listing is intended for Newbury Standard Solid Vertical panels built with Element Signature rails. Other Newbury variants (such as TimberGrain LX or Select Smooth Woodgrain with different rail profiles) use posts that are sized and routed for those systems.
- Do Newbury Standard posts come pre-routed?
- Newbury posts are supplied with routing designed to accept Newbury rails at the correct heights for the matching fence panels, so you do not have to cut rail pockets on site.
- Can I use these posts to support Newbury gates?
- Yes. End/gate-style posts in the correct length and color can be used at walk and drive gates. For wider or heavier gates, we recommend adding aluminum gate post inserts and properly rated hinges and latches.
- Do these posts include post caps?
- No. Post caps are sold separately so you can choose the style you prefer (pyramid, New England, gothic, etc.) in a matching color.
Comparison
| Option | Strengths | Considerations | Best For |
|---|---|---|---|
