    What Is the Hudson 6" Vertical Slat Semi-Private Fence?

    The Catalyst Hudson Vertical Slat Semi-Private Vinyl Fence is a 6' tall x 8' wide fence system that uses 6" wide vertical boards with precise spacing to balance privacy and airflow. Built in smooth White vinyl with a robust 2" x 6" Vertex Base Rail, Hudson delivers a clean, modern look that works just as well along side yards and property lines as it does around patios and pool areas. As part of the Catalyst vinyl program, it’s engineered for long-term performance with low maintenance, making it a smart upgrade over traditional wood semi-private fences.

    Benefits of the Hudson Fence

    • Balanced privacy and airflow: The 6" semi-private vertical slats reduce sightlines into your yard while still allowing breezes and natural light to flow through, so outdoor spaces feel more open and comfortable than behind a solid privacy wall.
    • Clean, modern vertical profile: Wider 6" boards create a bold, architectural look that pairs well with contemporary homes while still feeling at home in classic neighborhoods, HOAs, and suburban backyards.
    • Strong Vertex Base Rail construction: The 2" x 6" Vertex Base Rail is designed to support straight fence lines and withstand everyday wear, helping the fence resist sagging and maintain alignment over time.
    • Durable, low-maintenance vinyl: Hudson is manufactured from high-performance vinyl that won’t rot, peel, or require painting—just an occasional rinse with a hose keeps it looking fresh.
    • Smart semi-private coverage for many applications: With its mix of privacy and ventilation, Hudson is a great fit for backyards, patios, outdoor living areas, and pool surrounds where you want seclusion without feeling closed in.
    • Backed by a transferable limited lifetime warranty: Like other Catalyst vinyl fences, Hudson is covered by a transferable Limited Lifetime Warranty when installed to manufacturer guidelines, adding confidence for both current and future homeowners.

    Frequently Asked Questions

    Q: What size and color Hudson fence do you offer?

    A: On this site, Hudson is offered as a 6' Tall x 8' Wide semi-private vinyl fence panel in a smooth White finish. Other sizes or colors may appear in manufacturer literature, but our stocked configuration focuses on this popular height and color combination.

    Q: How private is the Hudson semi-private fence?

    A: Hudson is considered semi-private. The 6" vertical boards are closely spaced to limit views into your yard, but the small gaps between them still allow light and air to pass through. It’s ideal when you want more privacy than a picket fence but a lighter feel than a solid panel.

    Q: Where is the Hudson fence commonly used?

    A: Hudson is commonly used along side and rear property lines, around patios and outdoor living areas, and near pools or gardens where homeowners want screening, airflow, and a modern, vertical aesthetic.

    Q: What posts should I use with the Hudson fence?

    A: Hudson panels are designed to work with 5" x 5" routed vinyl posts that match the system’s rail layout. Use line, corner, and end/gate posts as specified for your layout to ensure proper support and fit.

    Q: Does the Hudson fence require a lot of maintenance?

    A: No. One of the biggest benefits of Hudson and other Catalyst vinyl fences is low maintenance—there’s no painting or staining. Most owners simply rinse the fence with water as needed to remove dust, pollen, or surface dirt.

    Q: Is the Hudson fence covered by a warranty?

    A: Yes. Catalyst vinyl fences are backed by a transferable Limited Lifetime Warranty when installed according to manufacturer instructions, giving you long-term peace of mind and added resale value.

    Hudson vs. Other Catalyst Semi-Private Fence Styles

    Fence Style Design & Board Type Privacy Level Best For
    Hudson – 6" Vertical Slat Semi-Private 6" wide vertical vinyl boards with tight semi-private spacing on a 2" x 6" Vertex Base Rail in smooth White. Medium–High privacy with controlled airflow. Backyards, side yards, patios, and pool-adjacent areas where you want a modern vertical look and a balance of privacy and ventilation.
    Folly – 3" Slat Semi-Private 3" vertical slats with narrower boards and slightly wider gaps, available in TimberGrain textured woodgrain finishes. Medium privacy with higher airflow. Garden and pool areas where cottage-inspired styling, decorative texture, and breezy airflow are priorities.
    Montauk – Board-on-Board Semi-Private Overlapping board-on-board configuration that creates a shadowbox look with alternating boards on each side of the rail. Medium–High privacy with filtered light and subtle visibility through gaps. Shared property lines where both neighbors see a finished face and want a more substantial, semi-private “shadowbox” appearance.
    Sarasota – Semi-Private Dog-Ear Dog-ear top pickets in a semi-private pattern for a softer, more traditional profile with visible board ends. Medium privacy with traditional styling. Homes that prefer a classic dog-ear look and a friendlier, less formal style while still gaining meaningful screening.
    Seaside – Louvered Semi-Private Horizontal louvered boards set at an angle inside the posts to block direct views but allow strong airflow through the fence. Medium privacy with maximum airflow. Windy or hot climates, patios, and coastal-inspired spaces where ventilation and a contemporary louvered look are more important than maximum privacy.
