Roger I used 12 gauge stainless steel which is very stiff material and it was difficult to bend it using a sheet metal brake which can only bend in 1 plane. If I understand your question, it would have meant a compound bend which was realistically not possible. As you know most things are a compromise, so shimming that corner was my compromise. The whole idea was to protect the end board of the ramp with tough material and provide a means for in the future, if Chris and or I should need a wheelchair to transition more easily onto the ramp. While that part of the threshold isn't completely flush with the concrete, it's only raised less than 1/2" above the concrete surface which a wheelchair can easily bridge over. It is a bit "clunky" I agree and certainly not my first choice, but I felt it was the best way overall to solve the problem. Fortunately it's located at the back of the house in a spot that doesn't see much traffic. Going forward I can see that wedge area as the equivalent to the crooked switch plate in the lift room!!!!
Also the wedge spacer was made out of composite material, not wood and should last almost indefinitely. Anyway good observation and question. Thank you for asking about it. Now you have something to come and examine at the open house!

I kid I kid.
For the sake of discussion, I'm certainly open to how else this might be done.
