Barrette Outdoor Living fence is now sold under the Catalyst name. Barrette’s own website sends fence shoppers to catalystfence.com. You can buy Catalyst vinyl and molded composite fence at our showroom in Arnold, and we install it across the St. Louis area.

Which Name to Look For

Barrette Outdoor Living is a division of Oldcastle APG. Catalyst is the Oldcastle APG fence brand that took over Barrette’s fence line. Barrette’s own premium fencing page still lists the Bufftech and SimTek lines, so you may see all three names.

Some stores still list fence under the Barrette name. If you own a Bufftech fence, the Bufftech page has the dates and the warranty steps you need.
