FAQs

What material are these wedges made from?

The wedges are made from beech wood, a type of hardwood known for its durability.

What are the exact dimensions of each wedge?

Each wedge measures approximately 50mm in length, 5mm in width, and tapers in height from about 8mm at the thick end to 1mm at the thin end.

How many wedges are included in a pack?

Each pack contains 100 wooden wedges.

Can these wedges be used for outdoor projects?

Yes, they can be used for outdoor projects like garden fence adjustments. However, for prolonged exposure to moisture, it is recommended to seal them or ensure they are properly dried afterwards.

Are these wedges suitable for heavy-duty applications?

These are small wedges designed for precise spacing and light wedging. For applications requiring significant load-bearing or heavy-duty leveling, larger or specialized shims would be more appropriate.

How should I clean the wedges if they get dirty?

You can wipe them with a dry or slightly damp cloth. Avoid soaking them in water.

Are the wedges environmentally friendly?

Yes, they are made from beech wood and are reusable and recyclable.

Troubleshooting

Wedges do not fit the gap tightly.

Gently tap the wedge further into the gap with a hammer or mallet. For larger gaps, consider using multiple wedges or a larger size if available.

Wedges splinter during insertion.

Apply less force or tap gently. Ensure the wedge is aligned with the direction of the gap. If splintering is consistent, check the wood grain for potential weak points.

Wedges absorb moisture and swell.

Ensure wedges are stored in a dry place. If used in a damp environment, allow them to dry thoroughly before storage or reuse.
