Default Moveable sump??

Ok so i just built my sump and the place I want to put it, is where the telephone connection thing for the house is there and my dad does not what me to block it. So my grandpa and I were talking and would it be possible to put the sump on a stand and then the stand on rollers. Assuming that i us flex tubing to plum it? Is there any on foreseen problems? Any advice would be great.

Thanks

That seems fine to me. Just make sure the stand can't flex. Some HD drawer rails would work, just watch the weight rating. I would also make sure the return and overflow tubes are mounted securely as to not move them if you have a box and U-tube.

Or: convince your dad to get a cell and ditch the land line. lol
