Stacking a Tumble Dryer on a Washing Machine

Tom2018

If a washing machine is located in an external brick shed, do you think there would be any issues with stacking a separate tumble dryer on top of it? There isn't the space to place it beside the washing machine.

I suppose, straight off, one issue would be getting the tumble dryer up on top of the washing machine if they're a similar weight to a washing machine!

The next problems that washing machines tend to move about, especially if the load is unbalanced.

How would you secure the tumble dryer on top of the washing machine? Ideally you want the dryer on a shelf above, not sitting on it.

You can buy a stacking kit for around £30

When I used to rent a house, there was a one stacked on top of the other. I cannot recall which way round but as above, get a stacking kit.

Easy, as other have said:

That shouldn't be a problem as basic, normal dryers are way lighter than washing machines.

How about building a simple wood frame around & above the washing machine and placing the dryer on that?

Stacking is a standard option.

You can het a kit with a pullout shelf to help loading and unloading.
