Superior Outdoor Products 200 Series 36" Madison Vinyl Railing Gates – Choose Your Width & Color
- Matching 200 Series Madison style — Gate design mirrors the 200 Series Madison vinyl railing profile so your deck, porch, or balcony entry blends seamlessly with the surrounding guardrail.
- 36" rail-height gate options — Gates are designed for 36" residential railing layouts and are available in 36", 42", and 48" widths to fit common walk and access openings.
- Unassembled gate kit in a box — Ships as a boxed kit so components are protected during transport and can be assembled on site for a precise, square fit in your opening.
- Color-matched to your railing — Offered in popular 200 Series railing colors — White, Almond, Clay, and Black — for a cohesive, professional-grade appearance around the entire perimeter.
- Durable, low-maintenance vinyl construction — Made in the USA from high-quality virgin PVC, these gates are designed to resist cracking, peeling, and everyday weather exposure with minimal upkeep.
- Code-focused system compatibility — Designed to pair with 200 Series railing, which is engineered and third-party tested to IBC/IRC guardrail criteria with published code reports when installed per manufacturer instructions.
- Hardware sold separately — Hinges and latches are ordered separately so you can select hardware rated for your opening width, usage level, and preferred style.
The Superior Outdoor Products 200 Series 36" Madison Vinyl Railing Gates are the finishing touch for a Madison-style 200 Series railing project. Built to match the same clean top-rail profile and baluster look as the boxed Madison railing sections, these 36"-high gates create secure walk-through access points at deck stairs, porch entries, and pathway transitions without breaking the visual flow of your rail. Each gate ships unassembled in a box so you can assemble it square on site, then hang it between properly mounted newel posts using your choice of compatible hinge and latch hardware. With color options in White, Almond, Clay, and Black and the low-maintenance performance you expect from a U.S.-made vinyl railing system, Madison gates deliver both style and function at key entry points.
Why Choose This Gate
- Seamless look with Madison railing — Because the gate uses the same 200 Series Madison profile, it looks like a natural continuation of the rail instead of an add-on afterthought.
- Sized for common openings — 36", 42", and 48" widths cover the most typical single-leaf openings, making it easy to select a size for walkway, stair, or side-yard access.
- Low maintenance over time — Vinyl construction means there is no painting or staining required; simple periodic cleaning is typically all that’s needed to keep the gate looking fresh.
- Supports code-focused rail layouts — When used with properly installed 200 Series railing, posts, and mounts, these gates help maintain a consistent, code-conscious guardrail line around decks and porches.
- Flexible hardware choices — Because hinges and latches are sold separately, you can choose self-closing or standard hinges and latch styles that best match your safety and usability needs.
- Made in the USA — Part of Superior’s U.S.-manufactured railing family, produced from high-quality virgin vinyl for reliable performance in residential outdoor environments.

Installation
Start by confirming your finished opening width between structural railing posts and selecting the appropriate Madison gate width (36", 42", or 48"). Install and plumb your 4" vinyl posts and post mounts according to Superior’s instructions and applicable building codes. Assemble the unassembled gate components on a flat surface, following the layout in the installation guide so the frame stays square and the infill matches your 200 Series Madison railing pattern. Once assembled, position the gate between the posts, mark hinge locations, and attach your chosen gate hinges to both the post and gate frame. Install the latch hardware at a comfortable operating height, verify that the gate swings freely and self-closes if using self-closing hinges, then make final adjustments so the gate is level, latches reliably, and maintains the required guardrail height and picket spacing for your jurisdiction.
Buying Guide
- Choose the right width — Measure the clear opening between finished posts and select a 36", 42", or 48" gate that fits within that space, allowing for hinge and latch clearances. Wider gates are ideal for equipment, furniture, or mobility-device access.
- Match your railing style — Use these gates only with 200 Series Madison railing so the top rail, balusters, and color match across the entire deck or porch perimeter.
- Select compatible hardware — Pair your Madison gate with exterior-grade hinges and latches rated for vinyl gates and sized for the gate width and weight. Consider self-closing hinges and a lockable latch for pool or elevated deck applications (always verify local code).
- Plan post reinforcement — Gate posts see more load than standard line posts. Use structural post mounts and appropriate blocking or footings to keep posts plumb and prevent sagging over time.
- Coordinate accessories — Finish your project with matching 4" post sleeves, post caps, and post trim from Superior to keep a consistent, professional look from gate to guardrail.
- Review code requirements — Confirm local IBC/IRC-based requirements for guardrail height, opening limitations, latch height (especially near pools), and the direction of gate swing before finalizing your layout.
