ABSTRACT:
A tool is provided for sizing a gap between adjacent deck boards or other objects. The tool includes a primary element of elongate rigid form and a secondary element affixed to the primary element. The secondary element is adapted to be placed within a gap to be sized. The secondary element has a cross-section which exhibits a greater thickness in a first direction than in a second direction. This tool is used in a gap sizing method, typically with multiple similar tools, where the tool is first oriented with a greater thickness aligned with adjacent objects on each side of the gap. The tool is then rotated about a long axis of the secondary element to exhibit lesser thickness and facilitate easy removal of the tool from the gap.
