FAQs
Keywords
TOPICS
What is the fencing made of?
Catalyst vinyl fencing is made from co-extruded polyvinyl chloride (PVC) and our aluminum fencing is made from extruded aluminum with a powder coated finish. All Catalyst products are extensively engineered and have our exclusive ingenuities built right in, which guarantees you’re getting the right fence for your life.
Will Catalyst Systems follow a curve?
Yes, all styles will curve to some extent by “aiming” the panel toward the intended direction. You will need to be the judge of how far fence panels will curve without compromising the overall aesthetic.
Can I install Catalyst Systems on decks and patios or attach to columns?
Yes, however, there are additional parts and steps needed to do this. We suggest you consult with your Catalyst Dealer, or call us at 888-549-7350 for assistance.
How much will an Catalyst fence actually increase my property value?
Like most outdoor improvements, it’s hard to put an amount on the value a fence will add. However, it will certainly add to the curb appeal and ultimately the salability of your property. On the flip side, a low quality, weathered or poorly installed fence may detract from the value of your home.
Can I put a gate operator on my Catalyst fence?
Yes, all styles can support a remote gate operator with slight modification in some cases.
My property isn’t flat. Will your fencing leave big gaps under each panel?
No, the majority of Catalyst vinyl and aluminum fence systems are engineered to be rackable — meaning they can adjust to follow the natural slope of your yard.
Can I clean my Catalyst fence?
Yes, for regular cleaning both vinyl and aluminum fencing can be rinsed off with a garden hose and cleaned using a mild dish soap and water solution. Your Catalyst Dealer can provide you with additional cleaning tips for heavier stains along with annual maintenance tips to help maximize the life of your fence.
Will your fencing meet local pool codes?
We offer several styles and sizes of vinyl and aluminum fencing that are pool code approved at the national level. Keep in mind that nearly all vinyl privacy fencing meets pool code standards, although there are some exceptions. Codes vary by state and also by locality. Be sure to always check your local codes and discuss any requirements with your Catalyst Dealer.
Does Catalyst have a transferable warranty?
Yes. Catalyst fencing products are covered by a Transferable Limited Lifetime Warranty. To review our warranty for vinyl fencing, click here. To review the our warranty for aluminum fencing, click here. Keep in mind that warranties are only as good as the company behind them. Catalyst products are manufactured by Barrette Outdoor Living — a stable, long-term organization with an excellent customer service track record.
Do you have to put all the posts in concrete?
Yes. However, in some cases the exact amount and process for the concrete will vary depending on conditions. The contractor who is installing your fence will know the right approach for your specific conditions.
Care and Maintenance
Catalyst™ fences are made to last with minimal upkeep. A few simple steps will help keep yours looking and working its best for years to come. Here are some easy ways to protect your investment.
General Care for All Fence Types
Rinse off debris
A simple spray with your garden hose removes grass clippings, dirt and fertilizer chemicals and helps keep your fence looking like new.
Avoid excess stress
Keep gates secured when not in use, and discourage children from swinging on them, to avoid excess wear on the hinges. Avoid stacking materials against your fence.
Annual check-up
Each Spring, adjust gates to ensure they’re level and latch securely. Oil hinges and check that screws are tight. If needed, re-tamp and realign any loose fence posts.
Specific Tips by Fence Material
In addition to the occasional spray with your garden hose, here are some specific tips for cleaning according to fence material.
Vinyl Fence Cleaning
Light cleaning
Mild soap and water takes care of most everyday dirt.
Minor stains
Use a non-abrasive liquid cleaner.
Stubborn stains
Try one of the following: Simple Green®, Mr. Clean® Magic Eraser, Mineral Spirits, Trichloroethylene, CLR® or vinegar. Always follow the manufacturer’s directions.
Note: Avoid using Goof Off®, as it may damage the finish.
Aluminum Fence Cleaning
Light cleaning
Rinse with water, working from the bottom to the top of each section and then then back down to the bottom. This pattern will clean the surface on the way up, preventing dirty “run down” and possible streaking. Air dry or wipe with a soft, lint free cloth.
Deep cleaning
First, rinse the surface with clean water from the top to bottom. Then, clean with mild dish soap and water using a sponge. Immediately rinse any “run down” to lower parts of the fence. Never allow dish soap to collect or dry on surfaces. Immediately rinse the entire section with clean water, then allow to air dry or wipe dry with a soft, lint free cloth. For stubborn, water-soluble debris, repeat steps above until clean.
Basic stains
Can be cleaned using a simple degreaser, such as Simple Green®, and should be rinsed after applying.
Hard water stains
Use CLR® and rinse after applying.
Coastal areas
Frequently spray your fence with water to reduce accumulations of salt and dirt.
Aluminum Fence Repair
Life happens. For small scratches and dings, touch-up paint is available to match the original finish.
Contact Catalyst Customer Service to order.
For damaged pickets, we recommend replacement of the entire panel, as individual pickets cannot be easily removed.
