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.

Hello @sareh 

 

Thank you so much for the photo update. It looks great and I'm sure it will look awesome once you've put the sealer on. Can you please tell me how thick is the timber panel that you purchased? 

 

We look forward to seeing your next update.

@EricL its pine plywood I think it’s 1.8. The guy at Bunnings recommended this so just went with it. Bought two panels and cut it to size.

Hi @sareh 

 

Thank you very much for the update. That's fantastic! Now you have a nice folding table and a spot to keep your laundry basket underneath. 

 

We look forward to seeing your next project.

@Dave-1 Haha a bit too soon for the next thing.   I dont have a proper work area, this was completed in a garage full of boxes and a very curious cat with his fur everywhere 😃
