The Catalyst Norwalk Standard Closed Picket Fence Panel offers a modern upgrade to the classic picket fence, with wider, flatter pickets that safeguard your property without making the yard feel closed in. Each 4' Tall x 8' Wide panel combines two 2" x 3-1/2" routed rails with 7/8" x 3" closed pickets, creating a secure, uniform barrier that works beautifully along front yards, pool and patio areas, side yards, and family play spaces. Made from low-maintenance, smooth vinyl in your choice of White or Sand and enhanced with SolarGuard® fade protection and StayStraight® structural reinforcement, Norwalk delivers the clean, architectural look homeowners want with the long-term performance they need.

Why Choose This Panel

• Closed picket look with better coverage — Norwalk’s closed, flat-top pickets offer more visual coverage than open picket styles while still allowing light and air to pass through.
• Ideal for pools, patios, and active yards — Designed as a secure, semi-screening perimeter around high-use outdoor areas where you want defined boundaries without a solid privacy wall.
• Clean, contemporary curb appeal — The smooth White or Sand finish and straight top-rail profile complement a wide range of architectural styles, from traditional to modern.
• Engineered for long-term performance — StayStraight® rail design helps minimize sagging and bowing over time compared to basic vinyl rail systems.
• Fade and weather resistance — SolarGuard® technology helps protect the color from UV exposure so the fence stays bright and attractive season after season.
• Part of a complete Norwalk system — Matching Norwalk posts and gates make it easy to design a cohesive, professional-looking fence line from end to end.

Specifications

Installation

Lay out your Norwalk fence line and mark 5" x 5" post locations at 8' centers for each panel, plus any additional posts needed at corners, ends, and gate openings. Always call your local utility-marking service before digging. Set vinyl posts in concrete to the depth specified by local codes and soil conditions, keeping each post plumb and aligned. Once the concrete has cured, install Norwalk panels by inserting the 2" x 3-1/2" top and bottom rails and the closed pickets into the routed post openings according to the manufacturer’s installation instructions. Finish the job with compatible 5" x 5" post caps and install Norwalk gates with properly reinforced gate posts and suitable hinges and latch hardware.

Buying Guide

• Plan your layout and quantities — Measure your total fence run and divide by 8' to estimate the number of panels. Add one more post than the number of panels, plus extra posts for corners, ends, and gates.
• Choose Norwalk for balanced coverage — Pick Norwalk when you want more coverage and containment than an open picket fence, but without the full enclosure of a privacy fence.
• Consider pool and patio applications — Norwalk is often used around pools and patios where airflow and visibility still matter. Confirm all local pool-code requirements before relying on any fence as a pool barrier.
• Match compatible posts and caps — Use the specified 5" x 5" posts and your preferred post cap style (pyramid, New England, internal, etc.) to ensure a proper fit and a finished look.
• Add matching gates — Plan for walk and drive gates where you need access for people, lawn equipment, or vehicles, and be sure to order the appropriate gate hardware and gate posts.
• Review warranty and care — For long-term performance details and maintenance guidelines, review the Catalyst Vinyl Fence Warranty.
