Smooth solid- Six-inch boards
The widest board in the semi-private group, set with an even gap. It defines the line and keeps the yard feeling open rather than enclosed.
- Light and air first
Catalyst's framing is that the spacing maximizes natural light and airflow without feeling boxed in.
- Smartly engineered framing
The catalog's phrase for the rail and post system that holds a widely spaced panel straight.
- Rails that stay straight
Catalyst's StayStraight® construction guards the rails against bending and sagging in any weather.
- Color that holds
SolarGuard® fade resistance keeps the finish from chalking or yellowing in full Carolina sun.
- Made by Catalyst, installed by us
Catalyst Fence Solutions manufactures the Hudson, and the image above is its product visualization, not a photograph of a Chonko Construction job. We are the installing builder.
The Hudson is offered in one tier and one color.
Height 6 feet.
- checkPanel widths. 8 feet. Walk gates and drive gates are built to match the panel, and we set post depth and spacing to the height you choose.
Pick the Hudson when the fence should define the yard, not enclose it.
The gaps let light onto a bed that a solid fence would shade.
It marks the boundary without taking the view with it.
White is quick-ship, so the Hudson is among the quickest vinyl panels to get on the schedule.
- air
A tighter screen. For a tighter rhythm, the Folly is the same idea with 3-inch pickets and a narrower gap.

- Rails and posts
- Catalyst does not itemize the rail dimensions for this style. Posts are set in concrete footings and we confirm the build with the order.
- Top rail
- Catalyst builds its vinyl fence on ten named top rails: Element Grand, Element LX Premium, Element Limited, Element Reserve, Element Signature, Element Base, Vertex Grand, Vertex Signature, Vertex Base and Apex. Which one your panel carries follows the grade and the panel size, so it is confirmed on the order rather than chosen off a page.
Post caps are a choice, not a default.
- check_circle
Nine vinyl caps. Pyramid, Internal, Gothic, New England, Ball, Neptune, Federation, Contemporary and Solar.
- check_circle
The solar cap lights the line. Catalyst's Solar Post Cap puts off-the-grid landscape lighting on the posts, with no wiring to run.
- check_circle
Pick it with the style. The cap is the part of the fence you see at eye level from the house. We price the caps with the panels, so it is one number rather than a change order later.
Top rail profiles
drawn to scale, 10 in the programWhich rail your panel carries follows its grade and size, so it is confirmed on the order rather than chosen off a page. Three of the ten are supplied through Catalyst’s lineal program.
For the Hudson, the number moves with linear footage first, then the height you choose (6 ft), the gates, and the ground the posts go into. The full breakdown of what moves a vinyl fence price is on the vinyl fence page; we set the exact figure in writing after we walk the property.

Vinyl in the Midlands
Vinyl suits South Carolina's climate.
- Humidity. It does not rot, and termites have nothing to eat.
- Sun. UV-stabilized panels resist the fading and yellowing strong Carolina sun causes over time.
- Wind and storms. Set on properly spaced posts in concrete footings, a solid panel carries Midlands storm wind.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is the Hudson a privacy fence?add
No. Spaced boards make a boundary and a backdrop, not a screen. For privacy in the same white vinyl, look at the Newbury.
What colors does the Hudson come in?add
White only, and it is quick-ship.
How tall is the Hudson?add
Six feet. It is offered at one height.
What is a semi private vinyl fence?add
The Hudson is the wide-board panel in the semi-private group: 6-inch vertical boards set with an even gap between them, in a smooth white finish. The Hudson is Catalyst Fence Solutions' version of it, and Chonko Construction installs it across Columbia and the Midlands under one written contract.
What heights does the Hudson come in?add
6 ft. We match the height to the job: privacy and pool code want the taller end, a front-yard boundary usually wants the shorter.
Can the Hudson be installed on a slope?add
Yes. On a grade we rack or step the panels so the fence follows the slope and stays level, and we show you which approach fits before any post is set.
