Fantast:
it is impossible from a wooden bar, because it will soon rot. and at one fine time the whole structure will collapse to the floor with great fanfare. By the way, in water, the weight of the human body, in my opinion, is less. a steel bath will deform when loaded on its sides. in places where the sides of the bathtub are bent, and over time, microcracks will appear there, resulting in peeling of the enamel. so you can fix it, but under the bottom, for greater confidence, cut out the supports.

we did this, only around the perimeter they hung a bathtub on metal corners. also no legs
Andrey Volkov:
It is possible - only the design needs to be made U - shaped and a column for a brick bath
Lerich:
Read about corners. And I didn’t understand that the washing machine will work while standing on the bathroom .... then the corners of the support of the anchor with plastic plugs are half a size smaller than the anchor .... you don't break.
User removed:
no way, the tree will rot
Vladimir Fedorov:
When tiling, there will be deformation; the tile will burst even with a metal frame with a corner; I do not recommend using wood in general in bathrooms. When installing under the legs, so that there is no deformation, you need to enclose metal plates! Good luck!
Alexander Kolesnikov:
If the washing machine is above the bath, will it be convenient to use the bath itself. A steel bath is not durable. My advice to you is that with such dimensions of the room, it is better to install a shower cabin (the choice is large) and the washing machine will become as it should be, and above it is a cabinet for powders, in short, go for it. Good luck!
Luke' :
It is better to make a bed of foam concrete. After installation, foam the entire space under the bath - the drum effect will go away. For junk under the bath FRONT, you can cut a niche in the foam (since you have so little space).
Steel and acrylic bathtubs with legs
Steel tubs are usually fitted with standard metal legs.
Such bathtubs themselves are lighter in weight when compared with cast-iron structures. Therefore, on legs they weigh quite a bit, and given their low cost, they become available to almost everyone. Most often, standard legs are already included with a steel bath, which make it possible to adjust it to the desired height. However, if necessary, you can buy decorative legs for her, which will allow you to change the interior of the room for the better. Under the legs of such a bath, you can put paving slabs or do without any stand.
Acrylic foot baths have also become very popular recently. By themselves, acrylic bathtubs are remarkable in that they weigh quite a bit and are presented in a wide range of various colors and shapes. And by adding beautiful legs to them, you can get a spectacular and completely unusual in appearance bath, which will be a great addition to the bathroom interior.
As a rule, acrylic structures have their own supporting frame, which is hidden inside the body. However, modern designers advise using load-bearing legs instead of such a frame, on which it will lean perfectly. And the variety of such legs is also represented by a fairly wide range of models, allowing you to choose a solution at your own discretion. Such baths have excellent aesthetic qualities and perfectly retain heat, allowing you to relax and fully enjoy water treatments.
Under the legs of an acrylic bath, you can not enclose anything, installing them directly on a tile or concrete floor.
