Riser kit or plywood and 4x2

[Matt0029]

What are peoples opinions on riser kits like this? If I used one would it be best to put some 4x1 under the legs to spread the weight so it's not just on 4 points on the floor. The other option is 4x2 plywood and sand and cement

Is a 760 tray going in the corner of a room. So 2 sides up against the wall. One side pivot door. One side fixed panel

Personally hate the plinth kits they come with so I use window trim and a fascia corner which then gives me a lot more flexibility with setup height.

Stollage is better in my opinion but the legs are quicker. On the times I have had to use legs because the customer has supplied it I've put battens round the wall like you would a bath and have the tray sat on there. This makes it pretty solid

Would be that riser or built a 4x2 base

Have done the 4x2 and sand and.cement
Before but I'm interested in the speed of the riser kit

Would you put 4x1 across the joists screwed to the top of the floor to spread the weight of the shower tray legs.

Entirely depends on the condition of the floor and how close the feet are to the joists. But if in doubt yes screw some bearers down.

Always use Wood and Ply. Save off cuts of MultiPanel white shower boarding for plinths.

I'm using that panelling maybe not the best for the trim as it's hollow

Just fitted one of these exact kits for the first time (not my choice).

Never again. Ball ache.

900 x 1200 tray. 8 legs.

Fiddly to level. The instructions say to install clips to wall, well I had 3 walls, pain the arse.

It also says to screw the feet to the floor. How exactly do I screw the back 3 feet down 850mm away from me under the tray through a 100mm ish gap?!?

4x2/ply and a bag of tile adhesive from now on.

I just tile the plinth.
