Adjustable legs for kitchen cabinet with no base

[Lower]

I’m about to start building kitchen type units for our utility. I’m building the units to cover a non integrated washing machine and tumble dryer so the units have to be deeper than standard and have no base.

The sides of the cabinets will be made from 18mm ply and I want to avoid the ply sitting directly on the kitchen floor and potentially absorbing water and rotting. Can you get adjustable kitchen cabinet style legs that will be thin enough to go under the edge if the ply? They’ll be two thickness of ply back to back so the total thickness will be 36mm.

thanks in advance.

Are they not surrounded by cabinets?
Possibly add some hardwood to the bottom of the sides?

space plugs might work assuming we are talking perhaps 50mm but would need to be adapted for the screw to fix within the spaceplug rather than through it ??

Unfortunately, the run is the tumble dryer (no base to cabinet), the washing machine (no base), Belfast sink unit (standard unit with base), and then the integrated freezer (no base).

I’m trying to keep the cabinets as tight as realistically possible to the appliances. I’m allowing 10mm clearance either side of each appliance, so not much space to attach hardwood to the side of each panel.

Never heard of space plugs so a quick google and they look like they might be perfect! The end that goes against the wall has a hole small enough that I can screw it to the base of the panel and the other end can be adjusted to lift the panel off the floor.

great steer! Thanks

as suggested - bolt the unit wall together.
10mm clearance either side is too much - 5mm is fine.

5mm is ok for a freestanding washing machine?

You could sit the ply on the floor protected from direct contact with U channel.

That is another good idea. However, the floor is not totally flat so i'd have to scribe the ply to the floor which fitting an adjustable foot allows me to avoid.

Scribing hardly rocket science.
You need flat level surface for appliances .

The floors already down. Its an engineered wooden floor over a screed that isn't the flatest. The floor deflects slightly in places when under load so difficult to scribe to.

Its flat enough for the appliances, but dips down close to the walls.
