FEBRUARY 2007 WORLD FENCE NEWS

Split post tops spurred development of the Buffalo Hinge

SEBASTOPOL, Calif. —

Michael Difranco, owner of Difranco Fence Co., said he got tired of having to replace woods posts which had been damaged because of hinges which concentrated the weight of the gate on the edge of the post and caused it to split. It led him to develop and market the Buffalo Hinge, which uses the strength of the full thickness of the post to support the weight of the gate. The Buffalo Hinge also features attractive designer edging.

“ I have gotten too many distressed phone calls from homeowners who have a gate falling down because the hinge that was used attached to only half of the post,” said Difranco. “The post split at the top, yet was still in good shape at the bottom and solid in its footing. It seemed a shame to have to excavate the entire post and replace it just because the top was split. I finally decided to do something about this problem and developed a hinge that would bite the whole eaves of the post. It even has a nice Southwestern design around the edging. My installers love the new Buffalo Hinge. It will also likely hold up better when the wind blows the gate open, which is a common problem for gate hinges.”

a stronger and more secure mounting. (Difranco Fence Co. photo)
