    What Is the Rockport Classic Dog-Eared Vinyl Picket Fence?

    The Catalyst Rockport Classic Dog-Eared Vinyl Picket Fence is a 4' Tall x 8' Wide white picket fence designed to deliver a relaxed, welcoming look with reliable, long-lasting performance. Featuring narrow rectangular pickets with the signature dog-eared top, Rockport brings a casual, cottage-style feel to front yards, gardens, walkways, and landscape perimeters. It is available in both Straight and Scalloped (Concave) top-rail styles, making it easy to create a fence layout that fits your home’s personality.

    Each panel uses durable vinyl construction with precisely spaced pickets set between reinforced rails for long-term strength and stability. The smooth white finish ensures a clean, timeless appearance that complements homes ranging from traditional to contemporary.

    Benefits of the Rockport Fence

    • Classic dog-ear styling: The dog-eared picket top softens the fence’s profile and creates a friendly, inviting aesthetic. It’s a popular choice for homeowners who want the charm of a picket fence with a more relaxed look than spade-top or pointed designs.
    • Choose straight or scalloped tops: The Straight-top design delivers clean, uniform lines, while the Scalloped (concave) version adds decorative movement and softness. Because both styles use the same post and rail system, you can mix and match sections across your fence design.
    • Open, airy visibility: Rockport’s evenly spaced pickets define your property without blocking views, making it ideal for front yards, flowering gardens, and areas where curb appeal and visibility matter.
    • Engineered for long-term performance: Reinforced bottom and top rails are designed to help resist sagging and keep lines straight. Vinyl components are built to withstand everyday outdoor conditions with minimal upkeep.
    • Fade-resistant white vinyl: The smooth white finish is formulated for UV resilience, helping the fence stay bright and clean over time without the need for painting or sealing.
    • Low-maintenance construction: Unlike wood, vinyl won’t rot, warp, or splinter. Cleaning typically requires only occasional rinsing or light soap-and-water washing.
    • Matching gates and components: Rockport coordinates with matching gates, 5" x 5" routed posts, and decorative post caps for a complete, seamless fence system.

    Common Uses for the Rockport Fence

    Rockport is widely used in front yards, garden perimeters, walkways, and entry areas, where its open spacing and welcoming dog-ear profile help enhance curb appeal. Homeowners often choose it to showcase landscaping, frame flowerbeds, or define decorative outdoor spaces while keeping visibility to the surrounding yard and neighborhood.
