Hello,

I'm thinking of moving the hydropress, softener, and iron filter outside as they take up a large part of the laundry room. I need inspiration and advice on the box. The box will be placed behind the hole in the terrace, and I estimate the internal dimensions need to be 100 high and 150 wide.

- How should I insulate it? Foam plastic and moisture barrier/plastic?
- Ventilation?
- Tips on a front opening.

Feel free to share your ideas and experiences.
 
  • Water softener, hydropress, and iron filter setup in laundry room, showing plumbing connections, pipes, and equipment arrangement on tiled floor.
  • Deck with garden hose, open storage hatch, and a spray bottle nearby; garden and white fence in the background.
The wife has a request for a flat roof, or rather minimal slope. She wants to be able to place pots on top.

Suggestion. Pressure-treated plywood and then 45x45 type trellis on top to make it look nicer?
 
You can make a rather small box if you can remove the lid and sides on the day you need to access it. Formplywood is an excellent material that I have used myself for similar setups. Put a sturdy roofing felt on the lid, so no major slope is needed. The measurements will be very small. Insulate the interior with Styrofoam or stone wool. Ground boards can be handled the same way as Styrofoam. No vapor barrier. The indoor temperature should be low.

We plan to do the same thing.
Is a building permit required for such a box?
