How to add laundry benchtop in a rental?
I am in a rental so limited to what I can do. I have a small laundry and wanted to add a bench too. Is there anyway that I can fit a bench top without drilling. I am sure that if I get a bench top and sit it on top of the washing machine it will probably slide down the broom cabinet side. How can I make this a bit more functional bearing in mind it is a rental and would want to dismantle it once leaving the property.

Hi @amelia2,
That sounds like a perfect solution that I wish I had thought of. Thanks for sharing.
I'm looking forward to seeing the finished product.

Hi @JacobZ,
well I managed to finish the bench and sink cover (minus oiling as that will take a couple days). Absolutely love it 😊

Amelia,
I really like this idea. I may have to put a laundry sink cover on now also. Was that just a slab to sit on top that can be easily removed?

Hi @sareh
yes it’s just a slab that sits on top of the sink and slides off. I just measured the sink then measured where the taps were and used a hole saw and jigsaw to make cutouts for the tap and washing machine hose. Then place on top of the sink and slide it in
