What Is the Seaside Horizontal Louvered Semi-Private Vinyl Fence?

The Catalyst Seaside Horizontal Louvered Semi-Private Vinyl Fence is a 6' tall x 6' wide fence panel that uses angled horizontal louvers to create privacy while still capturing every breeze. Each panel features thirteen 3/4" x 6" x 70" louvered boards set inside routed posts, reducing direct sightlines into your yard while allowing filtered light and airflow. Offered here in a smooth White finish, Seaside delivers a clean, coastal-inspired look that works beautifully around patios, pools, and open backyards.

Benefits of the Seaside Fence

  • Semi-Private Louvered Design: The angled louvers block most direct views into your space, giving you privacy without closing off your yard. You get more screening than a traditional picket fence, but without the heavy, solid-wall feel of full privacy panels.
  • Built for Wind and Warm-Weather Environments: Seaside’s slatted design allows air to move through the fence, reducing wind pressure on the panels. This makes it an excellent choice for windy or warm climates, especially in coastal regions where strong breezes and sun exposure are common.
  • Clean, Coastal Aesthetic: The horizontal louvers create a modern, beach-inspired look that pairs well with contemporary homes, coastal cottages, and outdoor living spaces. The smooth White finish complements landscaping, decking, and pool surrounds without competing with your overall design.
  • Consistent, Engineered Panel Layout: Each 6' x 6' panel uses thirteen evenly spaced louvers, providing a uniform appearance across long runs. The design helps maintain a consistent level of privacy and airflow from section to section.
  • Durable, Low-Maintenance Vinyl: Seaside panels are made from high-performance vinyl that will not rot, peel, or splinter like wood. There is no need for painting or staining—an occasional rinse with a hose or a mild soap-and-water wash keeps the fence looking fresh.
  • Matched System Components: The Seaside line includes routed posts and matching walk and drive gates designed to work with the 6' x 6' louvered panels. This system approach helps ensure proper fit, consistent performance, and a finished, professional look.
  • Backed by a Transferable Limited Lifetime Warranty: As part of the Catalyst vinyl program, Seaside is covered by a transferable Limited Lifetime Warranty when installed to manufacturer guidelines, adding long-term value and peace of mind.

Common Uses for the Seaside Fence

Seaside is especially popular in backyards, pool and spa environments, and patio areas where airflow and comfort are just as important as privacy. Homeowners often use it along property lines in windy or coastal regions, around outdoor seating and dining spaces, and as a design-forward screen for HVAC units or service areas. Its louvered, semi-private design makes it a strong option anywhere you want filtered views, strong ventilation, and a modern coastal look.

Q: How much maintenance does a Seaside vinyl fence require?

A: Maintenance is minimal. The White vinyl surface does not need painting or staining; most homeowners simply rinse the fence with a garden hose or wash it occasionally with mild soap and water to remove surface dirt or salt residue.
