Washing machines and dryers offer you advantages over a high – loading washer and loading dryer. Regrettably, 1 drawback is that the doors need lifting to use and bending and are reduced to the ground. Over time, this can be difficult on your knees and back. These appliances also have a tendency to move around during surgery and require a level surface to rest on to prevent sliding across the ground. Each one these issues are solved using a brand new platform for the set to rest on.
Assess width and the length of your washer/dryer collection. Your platform must be at least that size to prevent damage to the machines. The dimensions can be raised depending on.
Cut two pieces of 2-by-12 lumber to coincide with the length. These pieces make up this platform’s front and rear.
Subtract 3 inches. Cut three pieces of 2-by-12 lumber to match which width. These can hereby be known as the width pieces.
Cut a piece of plywood as wide and as long . Here is the surface of the platform.
Apply construction adhesive to the ends. Place set up between one end flush against the cut edges, of the two length pieces. Drill three 3-inch screws, evenly dispersed, into every one of the length boards to hold the width piece set up permanently. The screws evenly, set one approximately 1 inch from each corner and one in the middle of the board. Place all screws 3/4 inch in from the edges to prevent splitting the boards.
Glue a width piece between the ends of the two length pieces with the building adhesive. Secure with three screws on each side in precisely the exact same manner as the board.
Glue and screw the width piece in the middle of this stage, wedging it between the two length pieces. This provides support and will stop sagging between the machines.
Put a bead of adhesive along the edge of the support structure you completed with the lumber that is 2-by-12. Extend the glue bead across the three width pieces and the two length pieces.
Put set up and line up all four sides. Screw one 3-inch screw into each corner of the very best to fasten to the support structure. Remember to allow for the screws that you placed to hold the support structure together. It’ll be essential to set the screws to the top in a manner because this would risk splitting the timber which they will not hit the inserted screws.
Keep on drilling 3-inch screws across the width and length of the platform top evenly until you have eight in each length side along with four in each width side. It is not required to screw the stage to the centre width bit.
