We have finally reached the point where we no longer have enough space to dry our clothes indoors, and will need to invest in a dryer.

We have a washing machine in our bathroom (also small) so the dryer would ideally go under/over that.

Does anyone have experience building or buying an appropriate stand? The dryer and washing machine will likely weigh about 50-60kgs each.

Far be it for me to tell you the setup of your home, but it's quite possible that if you do the laundry more frequently then you could hang it up indoors. If you wanted to drive faster, you can aim a fan at it. Of course this depends on your specific setup and on the humidity in your location, but it might be an option that you could use in the meantime, because it's a fairly cheap way of drying clothes.

You mean more frequently meaning smaller loads, right? At the moment it's about one 8kg load every 1.5 days, so in winter it's not long enough to dry. Might try a fan setup in the immediate term though and see how it goes.
