Frequently Asked Questions:

What makes beech hardwood superior for wedge applications?

European beech offers the ideal combination of hardness, stability, and workability for wedge applications. With a Janka hardness rating of 6,460 N, these wedges resist compression and splitting under pressure, while the low shrinkage properties (5.8% radial, 11.7% tangential) ensure they maintain their dimensions and effectiveness over time. Unlike softer woods that can compress or harder woods that may split, beech provides the perfect balance for long-lasting performance.

How do I know which thickness to use for my fence panels?

The beauty of these wedges lies in their 1-15mm taper design - simply tap the wedge into the gap until it feels snug but not over-tight. Start with light taps and test the panel movement. For most fence panels, you'll find the sweet spot somewhere in the 3-8mm range, but the continuous taper means you can achieve any thickness within the range for a perfect custom fit.

Can these wedges be used for both indoor and outdoor projects?

Absolutely! The European beech construction provides excellent natural durability, and the wood's superior stability means minimal movement in varying humidity conditions. For outdoor applications like fence panels, the natural oils in beech provide good weather resistance. For enhanced longevity in exposed positions, you can easily apply exterior wood stain or preservative - beech accepts finishes exceptionally well.

How many fence panels will one pack typically secure?

With 48 wedges in the pack, you can typically secure 8-12 standard fence panels, depending on the number of problem areas per panel. Most rattling panels require 4-6 wedges positioned at strategic points along the panel length. The snap-apart design means you can use exactly what you need for each project while keeping the remainder fresh for future use.
