FAQs
How many wedges do I need per fence panel?
Approximately two wedges are recommended for each fence panel for standard gaps. For larger gaps, you may need up to four wedges per panel.
What are the dimensions of each wedge?
Each wedge measures approximately 9cm in length, 2.3cm in width, and 1.7cm in height.
Are these wedges suitable for all types of fence panels?
They are designed for most standard fence panels and posts. Their effectiveness depends on the gap size between the panel and the post.
Can these wedges be used outdoors in all weather?
Yes, they are made from solid, weatherproof plastic designed for long-lasting outdoor use.
Do I need any tools to install the wedges?
No special tools are usually required. They can often be pushed into place by hand, or may require a gentle tap with a rubber mallet or your hand.
How many wedges are included in a pack?
Each value pack includes 60 wedges.
Can the wedges be painted or modified?
While they can be painted, modifying the wedge shape is not recommended as it may compromise the anti-rattle effectiveness.
Troubleshooting
Fence panel still rattling after inserting wedges.
Ensure wedges are fully inserted and seated snugly. For larger gaps, try using additional wedges (up to four per panel) or consider using shims in conjunction with the wedges.
Wedges do not fit into the gap.
The gap may be too small for the wedges. Check if the panel is correctly seated or if there are obstructions. If the gap is slightly too small, you may need to slightly trim the wedge, though this is not recommended for optimal performance.
Wedges feel loose or keep falling out.
The gap may be too wide or uneven. Try using more wedges or wedges placed at different angles within the gap. Ensure the wedges are the correct size for the gap.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup:
- Identify fence panels that are loose or rattling.
- Determine the size of the gap between the fence panel and the supporting post.
- Select the appropriate number of wedges. Generally, two wedges (one on each side of the panel within the post) are sufficient for standard gaps. For larger gaps, up to four wedges might be needed.
- Insert the wedges firmly into the gap between the fence panel and the post. They should fit snugly. A gentle tap with a rubber mallet or the heel of your hand might be necessary to fully seat them.
Compatibility:
These wedges are designed for standard fence panels and posts. They work best with typical wooden or composite fence panels that slot into or are secured against posts. Ensure the gap size is suitable for the wedge dimensions (approx. 9cm L x 2.3cm W x 1.7cm H).
Care:
These wedges are made from weatherproof plastic and require minimal care. Simply ensure they are securely fitted. If you need to remove them, gently pry them out. They can be reused multiple times.
