Media walls and feature walls

The wall’s width and height, the TV size, the niches you want, and where the power is.

• Attach your Sheet so people see your sizes and the math.
• Your town is enough. Never your address; check photos for house numbers and plates.
• Is it safe? A safety question here goes to pros verified in general contracting or carpentry, unless you pick another trade. Only they can call it safe or unsafe.

12′ media wall, 65-inch TV, 6 niches: 38 2×4 boards, 7 4×8 sheets of drywall, niches 24″ × 18″ each and a TV recess 2″ deep.

What people get wrong:

• Burying an outlet box. A box covered by the new wall can’t be reached, and it’s where a fault starts.
• The TV’s cord inside the wall. The TV’s own cord and extension cords may not run inside walls.
• The LED driver buried in the wall. Drivers get warm and fail.
