Smooth solid- Spade caps
A shaped top on every picket, which is the detail the style is bought for.
- Wide picket profile
Flat 7/8 by 3 inch slats rather than a narrow square picket, so the fence has more face to it.
- Engineered for the seasons
Catalyst's framing: smartly engineered, low-maintenance finishes that stand up to the changing seasons.
- 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 Nantucket, and the image above is its product visualization, not a photograph of a Chonko Construction job. We are the installing builder.
The Nantucket is offered in one tier and one color.

Height 4 feet, straight top line.
- 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 Nantucket when the picket is meant to be noticed.
The spade cap is the difference between a fence and a detail.
It suits an older home in a way a flat-top picket does not.
A garden edge or a courtyard where the fence is seen up close.
- air
A plainer option. If the spade cap is too much, the Rockport is the same idea with a dog-ear top.

- 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.

Nine vinyl caps. Pyramid, Internal, Gothic, New England, Ball, Neptune, Federation, Contemporary and Solar.

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.

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 Nantucket, the number moves with linear footage first, then the height you choose (4 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.
Want real numbers? Our vinyl fence cost guide breaks down what a vinyl fence runs per linear foot in the Midlands, and the all-materials fence cost guide compares it to the other fence types. Whatever your number, it is set in the contract before any post hole is dug.
Warranty and Who Installs It
Two warranties cover a Nantucket we install.
Catalyst backs its fence with a transferable limited lifetime warranty; the warranty document carries the terms.

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
Does the Nantucket come scalloped?add
What colors does the Nantucket come in?add
White only, and it is quick-ship.
How tall is the Nantucket?add
Four feet. It is offered at one height.
What is a spade top vinyl picket fence?add
The Nantucket is the decorative end of the picket group: wide flat pickets finished with spade caps. The Nantucket 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 Nantucket come in?add
4 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 Nantucket 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.
