Building A Pedestal For A Gas Dryer
Out of wood.
It should be fine, gas dryers are designed to sit on combustable floors, do be sure the four feet that come with the dryer are in place however.
The electric WP 29" dryers are much hotter on the bottom than the gas ones, When we move them to service you often see floor damage under the left rear corner where the heater is.

"The electric WP 29" dryers are much hotter on the bottom than the gas ones, When we move them to service you often see floor damage under the left rear corner where the heater is."
A couple of questions to maybe make a general "rule of thumb". I'm thinking that Bebop and I probably aren't the only ones with back problems...
Given the second quote above, do electric dryers in general run hotter on the floor than gas? I assume that despite floor damage, all electric dryers are theoretically safe to run on a combustible floor. If I'm wrong, please correct me!
Can one locate the elements and assume that heat to the floor is not an issue if the elements are x number of inches off the floor makes heat not a concern? I assume that the airflow as designed is theoretically sufficient.
Can one take 4x4's and cut them maybe 4" long and use those as feet to raise the dryer? Although I'm wondering about vibration...
Sorry, I woke up in a literal/nerdy/analytic mood this morn and am letting it run wild here......

Electric And Gas WP built Dryers Are SAFE to Run On
Wood Flooring.
What we have seen is vinyl flooring often discolors from heat, we often see this under WP built 29" electric dryers and also under a lot of refrigerators under the compressor, I dough that it ever gets hot enough to cause a fire.
