Josh, a clean piece of wood is the cleanest I could do for reliability, dampening vibration, and sturdiness.

Don't forget the mouse pad under the pump for sound dampening.

3/4" pvc rack. strong, clean, cheap and easy. plus it doesn't take water volume away from your sump.

I used a piece of 1/2" plywood, with a 1/2" foam underneath.
