Superior Outdoor Products 200 Series Model Vinyl Railing Gates – 36" & 42" High, Multiple Widths & Colors

• Matches 200 Series Model railing — Gate infill uses the same 1.3" square vinyl balusters and flat 200 Series rail profile as the Model level and stair sections for a seamless look across your deck or porch.
• Multiple heights and widths — Choose from 36" or 42" high gates in 36", 42", or 48" widths to fit common walk-through openings while maintaining consistent guard height with your railing.
• Color options to coordinate your project — Available in White, Almond, Clay, and Black so you can match your 200 Series rail and exterior trim for a cohesive finish.
• Boxed, unassembled gate kits — Each gate kit includes uprights with gate blocks, aluminum-reinforced top and bottom rails, Model square balusters, and fasteners needed to assemble the gate frame.
• Designed for 200 Series performance — Uses the same flat top rail and rectangular bottom rail geometry as 200 Series railing, with internal aluminum reinforcement for strength and stiffness when properly supported.
• Made in the USA from virgin vinyl — High-quality PVC components are manufactured in the USA for consistent fit and finish, with low maintenance compared to painted wood gates.
• Hardware and accessories sold separately — Choose your preferred hinges, latch set, caps, cross brace (if needed), and matching 4" posts separately so you can tailor the gate to your layout and budget.

The Superior Outdoor Products 200 Series Model Vinyl Railing Gates give you a clean, square-baluster gate solution that ties directly into your 200 Series Model railing system. Available in 36" and 42" heights and 36", 42", or 48" widths, these unassembled gate kits use the same flat 200 Series top rail, rectangular bottom rail, and 1.3" square balusters as the Model level and stair sections, so your entry points look like a natural extension of the rail instead of an afterthought. Made in the USA from high-quality virgin vinyl with aluminum-reinforced rails, Model gates offer a durable, low-maintenance alternative to wood gates and pair easily with color-matched posts, caps, and hardware in White, Almond, Clay, or Black.

Why Choose This Gate

• Perfect visual match to Model railing — Because the gate uses the same rail and baluster profile as the 200 Series Model sections, your deck, porch, or balcony entry reads as one continuous, intentional design.
• Sizing for common openings — 36", 42", and 48" nominal widths give you flexibility for narrow walkways, standard deck entries, or slightly wider access points for grills and furniture.
• Low-maintenance gate solution — Vinyl and aluminum construction means no painting or staining, and the gate can be cleaned with mild soap and water instead of ongoing finish maintenance.
• Boxed kit simplifies ordering — Each box contains the uprights with gate blocks, rails, and balusters needed to build one gate panel, so you don’t have to piece together components from multiple SKUs.
• Flexible hardware choices — Because hinges, latches, and cross braces are sold separately, you can select hardware that matches your project’s style, finish, and swing requirements.
• Part of a code-focused system — Designed to coordinate with 200 Series railing, which is engineered and tested to modern building-code criteria when installed with approved posts and mounts.

Specifications

Installation

Start by confirming your finished gate opening and choosing the correct gate width and height to match your 200 Series railing. Install structural gate posts or reinforced newel posts on each side of the opening according to Superior’s instructions and local code, using appropriate post mounts, footings, and blocking. Assemble the gate frame by cutting the top and bottom rails to size (if needed), inserting the aluminum reinforcement as directed, and fastening the rails between the uprights with the supplied hardware. Install the Model square balusters in the rail pockets or channels per the installation guide, keeping spacing consistent. Attach your chosen hinge set to the gate upright and gate post, adjust for proper swing and clearance, then install the latch hardware at a comfortable reach height. Finish with matching post caps and trim, and add a cross brace kit if recommended for wider gate sizes or heavier use.

Buying Guide

• Choose the right height — Match the gate height (36" or 42") to the guardrail height used on the adjoining 200 Series runs so the top rails line up cleanly.
• Match your opening width — Select 36", 42", or 48" gate sizes based on the clear opening you want after hinges and latch are installed; check the manufacturer’s dimensional drawings for exact framed width.
• Coordinate with Model railing — For a unified design, pair Model gates with 200 Series Model level and stair sections in the same color and height.
• Don’t forget hardware and posts — Add compatible gate hinges, latch, and reinforced 4" posts or gate posts to your order, along with caps and post trim for a finished look.
• Consider a cross brace — On wider gates, a cross brace or “Z” brace (sold separately) can help reduce sag over time, especially in high-use areas.
• Review local code requirements — Confirm maximum gate width, latch height, and any safety requirements (especially near pools or stairs) with your local building authority before installation.
