White

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.

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.

A garden or a courtyard

The gaps let light onto a bed that a solid fence would shade.

A view worth keeping

It marks the boundary without taking the view with it.

A fast start

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.

These are the parts we order and set.

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.

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.

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 Hudson we install.

Manufacturer warranty

Catalyst backs its fence with a transferable limited lifetime warranty; the warranty document carries the terms.

Named workmanship warranty

Chonko Construction is a licensed home builder, license #52210, and the installation carries our named workmanship warranty.

Installed by Chonko Construction

Licensed South Carolina home builder, SC Residential Builders License #52210. One contract covers the panels, the posts, the gates and the installer.

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.
