Temporary base for washing machine

[bsr]

I need to move the washing machine outside for a while. Electrics, water, drainage all ok. Will be covered with a frame and roof made from left over closeboard fencing. It needs to go in a place currently gravelled.

For a base I was thinking of a paving slab set on 25mm sharp sand, on some DPC, on the gravel. No cement so I can re use the sand and slab after and avoid waste. Use an edging made from leftover batten to contain the sand.

Is this a good idea and strong enough for the spin cycle, any thoughts/suggestions?

Some CLS timber with some cup holes for the washing machine feet to sit in. Set timber on your gravel. Be fine.

Got a palette?

Got a palette?

Unfortunately not. You don't think it would bounce?

Washing won't bounce. They are freestanding so can rock but you can adjust feet or wedge whatever you decide to use under.
Washing machines have concrete weight inside plus all the water when working. Makes them very heavy
