Metal Wedge for Fence/Timber 4 mm 10 pcs GEKO G72217

Set of 10 metal wedges GEKO G72217, each 4 mm thick, designed for precise spacing and alignment in fencing, timber joining and general garden or construction work. These thin metal shims provide consistent thickness and stable support when adjusting gaps between panels, securing boards temporarily during installation, or aligning posts and frames. The compact format allows easy handling and repeated use on similar tasks.

Advantages

The metal wedges are made from durable metal to resist bending during installation and retain shape under light load. Uniform 4 mm thickness ensures repeatable, accurate spacing for multiple joints. Supplied as a set of 10, they are convenient for small to medium projects and reduce the need for improvised shims. Their thin profile fits into narrow gaps and aids in fine adjustments without damaging wood or panel surfaces when used correctly.

Suitable for

• Aligning fence panels and securing temporary spacing during fence installation
• Shimming timber joints and setting even gaps between boards
• Adjusting frames, gates, posts and other garden structures
• General construction tasks that require thin, consistent shims

Key specifications

• Material: metal
• Thickness: 4 mm
• Quantity: 10 pieces per set
• Finish: raw/untreated metal suitable for temporary or concealed use
• Form factor: flat wedge/shim profile for insertion into narrow gaps

How to use

Insert a metal wedge into the joint or gap that requires spacing or alignment, tapping gently with a hammer if necessary to seat the shim. For fence panels, place wedges between panels or between panel and post to achieve the desired gap and secure the panel temporarily while fixing fasteners. For timber joints, use one or more wedges to level and align boards, then fix permanently with screws or nails. Remove wedges after permanent fixing if corrosion protection or long-term exposure is a concern.

Usage recommendations

Use protective gloves and eye protection when handling and tapping metal wedges. Avoid leaving exposed metal shims in outdoor, high-moisture locations for extended periods unless they are additionally treated or protected to prevent corrosion. For permanent installations, consider using coated or stainless alternatives or cover shims within the structure to reduce exposure.
