Wooden Wedges

If you are shopping around for wooden wedges or shims in the UK, you’ve come to the right place. We provide a range of wooden wedeges/

shims that are well-designed, durable, and affordable. Before we jump into the benefits of choosing our wooden wedges, let’s take a brief

look at what a shim/wooden wedge is and what it is used for.


What is a wooden wedge/Shim?


A wooden wedge (or shim) is a piece of material (made from wood) that is used to fill a gap or space between two items. The material has a

tapered design to ensure that it can be jammed, wedged, or fitted between two items. A shim serves the following purposes:

  •           Provide support (stop an item wobbling or moving),
  •           Level surfaces/items,
  •          Adjust the fit of items.

What You Can Use a wooden wedges/shims For


There are many frustrating scenarios in life where a shim could come in handy, but you just don’t think about it. Think of a restaurant table

that wobbles from side to side every time somebody leans on it. With a shim wedged underneath one of the feet/legs of the table, the

problem can be solved effectively and affordably.

There are many other instances where a shim can be helpful. A wooden wedge or shim can be used to:

  • •    Adjust and level door frames and windows,
  • •    Square up cabinets,
  • •    Stop fence poles/panels from wobbling,
  • •    Adjust subflooring and floorboards,
  • •    Stop creaking in outdoor decks,
  • •    Provide support and levelling of furniture.

How to Insert/Use a Wooden Wedge (aka Shim)


A shim can be a highly effective item if it is used correctly. Of course, how you use or insert a shim will depend on the application. For

instance, using a shim to level and stabilise door frames and windows requires a different installation method of using a shim to stabilise or

level furniture.

Below are a few tips on how to use a shim:
•    Using a shim in window and door frames.


Once you have the door frame or window installed and notice that there is a gap, get the shims ready. Place a wooden shim into the space

between the door casing/window and the framed area. Using a hammer, gently tap on the shim until it pushes into place. You can use a spirit

level to ensure that the window or door frame is level. If you find that 1 wooden wedge isn’t enough, you can insert another wedge by

tapping it into the space right next to the first shim, except the other way around (now the shims are top and tail). To ensure that the shim

stays in place, use a set of securing screws. If there is a piece of wedge sticking out, score and break it off using a utility knife.



•    Using a shim to fix wobbly fence posts.


Sometimes wedge posts and panels become loose and wobbly. The fence can begin to lean or worse; make an annoying creaky sound. You

can use a wooden wedge (or a few) to fix this. First, push the fence post into the correct position and note where the loose space or gap is.

Now, take your shim/s and push it into the space. You may need to use a few shims and you may need to hammer or tap them in.


•    Using a wooden wedge or shim to fix wobbly and uneven furniture.


If you have furniture that stays in a fixed place, but wobbles when used, you can fix it with a wooden wedge shim. First, wobble the table so

that you can see which leg or foot has a gap between it and the floor. Then, place a wooden wedge under that foot and test to see that the

table is sturdy and level. Now, while the furniture is still standing on the shim, use a pencil to trace the outline of the foot or leg onto the shim.

You can have the shim cut into that shape before you affix it permanently to the furniture leg or foot. You can use double-sided tape or glue

to attach the shim to wooden furniture.
