What can I put my chest freezer on so it won’t be sitting on the basement floor?

by

I own a chest freezer I’d like to place in the basement, but I don’t want to place it aptly on the floor which tends to get damp. What can I place the freezer on that will start a stable base? (other than building a wood base for it)

Just like we do in the construction meadow. DUNAGE. take some ancient 2×4’s and run them bottom it in 3 seats. Each end and one in the middle to keep it from sagging. It’ll never go somewhere. Cheap and simple and effectual.

If you have an ancient cut of carpet or vinyl carpet, that may possibly be used, or you may possibly lay bricks down first or blocks.

just get two stilted slats to place the legs on, run them front to back.

Don’t use carpet you wil end up with mold.

The conundrum with wood, carpet and even bricks and concrete blocks is that they can conveying moisture and lead to reduction and corrosion. I’ve found the best "blocks" to elevate items like a freezer off the floor in a basement are those sets of gray plastic "bed boosters" you can buy in home enhancement stores and seats like Bed, Bath and Beyond. These are cast blocky "feet" that come in a set of four designed to go under the legs of a bed to raise the height. They are very sturdy and provide a excellent base but the notes doesn’t absorb dampness or support mold.

I’d recomend bricks too. You must get a dehumidifier for that space.

I reflect I would get an ancient cut of vinyl carpet or even some gray plastic to place under the total area of the freezer, then use a few 2×4’s on top of that.
