What sort of spacer
I am building a low level deck using Evo-Crete Handi Blocks to carry a 100 x 45 bearer. The span is only about 1300.
I have handi blocks set at one end but they are a fraction low - maybe 3-5mm. I cannot readily lower the other end to level the structure as it rests on an existing concrete pad. The easiest solution seems to add a spacer under the bearer. What would be best for this purpose? I am thinking of a small galvinised iron plate.
Any ideas would be appreciated.

a small piece of fibro/harditex will do, you can use a cheap chisel to shave it to thickness, or there are plastic packers available from bunnies

Fibro has always been the go to material for spacers or shims.
