These are used for the non-hinged sides of a gate that does not have a fence panel attached to it. When used for the opposite side of a gate post, these typically will have a latch receiver installed onto them.

Posts are one of the essential factors for vinyl fences. Posts are thick, vertical structures that give the fence stability and are responsible for holding the pickets and rails in place. They are the most extended portion of your fence because they need to be installed with about 1/3 of the post buried and secured with gravel and concrete.

There are quite a few different types of vinyl posts needed for a typical vinyl fence installation. Depending on the different fence style, installation environment, application usage, and other aspects, deciding which one you need is based on how you will need it to function.
