    How to install a washer and a gas dryer outside in a shed
    We are moving and there is no washer or dryer hookups. There is a shed and we wanted to have our washer and gas dryer in it. Is it possible? Also, do we have to have a water heater and hot water hose even if we only was with cold water?

    No, just cap the hot water in.

    Let's look at a few things:

    Shed
    There can be multiple definitions of a Shed and even locations.
    Tell us about the shed.

    Power
    You need that.

    Environment
    Freezing - can cause all sorts of issues
    Damp - premature rusting
    If your in Florida this probably isn't much of a problem.
    Critters

    Drain
    How/where are you going to drain the washer.
    How Protecting the trap from freezing

    Water
    If you really needed to, you could connect using a garden hose from the nearest tap. A vacuum break is a must if doing it this way.

    Dryer
    Needs power, a vent and a gas line. Might be really difficult. Would suggest electric.

    I'm going to ask this me moved to Plumbing.
