Build Under Sink Cabinet

Step 1 take appropriate measurements.

Build under sink cabinet.

The room is just under 81 wide and the washer is 36 wide. Measure the height 4 inches off the floor to the base of the sink to determine how high the cabinets should be. The sink is 42 wide so the cabinet needs to be more than 42 but less than 45 wide so this definitely made it hard to find a cabinet that would work. But if the sink s plumbing runs through the bottom of the cabinet the drawers will have to be shorter.

If you want to install two drawers under one wide cabinet build a single cradle with both drawers sharing one of the cradle sides and the cradle base.
