We have finally reached the point where we no longer have enough space to dry our clothes indoors, and will need to invest in a dryer.

We have a washing machine in our bathroom (also small) so the dryer would ideally go under/over that.

Does anyone have experience building or buying an appropriate stand? The dryer and washing machine will likely weigh about 50-60kgs each.

    You can also get all in one’s that both wash and dry in a single unit if space is a concern. They tend to be a bit pricier because it’s literally two functions in one item but not terrible.

      I looked at those and figured the additional cost, plus only one load being washed at a time may be a bit annoying… But realistically, I’ll have to see if one load per day is enough. Thanks!

    The combination washer below and dryer on top is so common that you can buy a frame which fixes the dryer on top of the washing machine. The weight is not an issue.

      You mean more frequently meaning smaller loads, right? At the moment it’s about one 8kg load every 1.5 days, so in winter it’s not long enough to dry. Might try a fan setup in the immediate term though and see how it goes.
