TV mounting
Mounting TVs on drywall, studs, brick and over fireplaces. Ask with your Sheet attached: homeowners who’ve done it and verified pros answer, and anyone can read it.
Walls · 01Before you ask
Before you ask
The TV size and weight, the wall type, and where the power and cables go.
- 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.
Walls · 02Mount a TV
Mount a TV
65-inch TV, tilting mount: a mount rated 55 lb+, centered 42″ up from the floor, held by 4 lags into 2 studs.
What people get wrong:
- Drywall anchors alone. Plastic or self-drilling drywall anchors pull out under a TV.
- Missing the stud center. A lag near the stud’s edge splits it and holds little.
- Too high. A screen above eye height strains your neck: the center at about seated eye height is easiest to watch.
