Ok. If you attached a piece of 12x20ish 3/4" plywood to the wall with say 8 flip toggles, then also flip toggled the mount thru plywood, would that likely work? I'm thinking spread the load.

@@how2q After reviewing my comment...yep. Attach plywood with 4 flip toggles. Attach TV mount with 4 flip toggles. That would still eight instead of 12.

Very helpful thank you. I have a Sanus mount wall for a 43” tv. I doubt the weight is a problem but I am worry that once it is installed because it extends up to 21” forward, that weight and the length when extended will rip the drywall because it will no longer be close to the wall, thanks!
@how2q Жыл бұрын
So we are talking tension and shear…shear bering weight would be the down force on wall (mount as it sits against wall). Tension would be the pull force (extended). According to hilti…one toggle option. Tension is 45 lbs for 1. Since you might actually be using four Yeah that would allow up to 180 pounds. I’m sure there is some genius out there that can figure out at 21 inches with your mount and TV what that weight and force would be but I’m probably not that guy. But at 180 pounds tension (theoretically if u hung it straight down from ceiling) with all four I’m assuming it will be overkill for what you have. Bottom line I think you should be good.

Two comments. First, mounting a TV over a fireplace is not a great idea.

Various solutions exist that allow you to make a very solid and reliable connection.

Honestly, I probably wouldn’t. At the end of the day would it work? I think so, but I couldn’t guarantee it. The fact that it is going away from the wall and down, puts more stress on those bolts.

Hi!! can you use this great drywall bolt on single stud tv mount? or this only works with 4 bolt ?
@how2q Жыл бұрын
Your answer may be in title. Like this project…i do like to have at least one stud. That being said…your could probably get away with it. If it is a tv that pulls out and moves left right i would be hesitant to install without stud. If its flat on wall type mount i would be ok without stud

Can this still be done if there is no stud at all?
@how2q Жыл бұрын
Yes cynthia. As long as tv stays against the wall. Some mounts you can pull out and rotate…would not suggest you use these. If you have one that pulls out and rotates, I would get a piece of three-quarter inch MDF, and attached to wall (hitting studs) then attach mount to that. Of course paint MDF color of wall.

would it hold a 100 inch / 100 pound tv?

Or would it be better to put two pieces of plywood between the nearest two studs and then fasten the tv mount to the plywood?
@how2q2 ай бұрын
It sounds like a very expensive TV. Quick answer would be technically yes. I only say technically because the sheer weight… Vertical weight…it would hold w only a mount that was against the wall (would not use one that you pull out and move left and right). To be 100% sure on the install… I would go with the plywood option.

Can you hang a tv 65 inch, on just drywall. Where there absolutely no studs?
@how2q4 ай бұрын
Yes, but only use flush mount tv mounts. Do not use ones you can pull off wall

@how2q what's the best idea for ½" drywall on a short wall with studs 24" on center? I'm about to go to Lowes and buy Molly bolts. I'm absolutely exasperated with this simple process. I've never had such a hard time doing something so simple.
@how2q Жыл бұрын
@@yelram4life lol some of the “simplest” jobs are the hardest. I would definitely try and grab one of those studs on one half of mount. Discussed earlier were mounts that you can pull TV out and rotate. I would not recommend that if you don’t hit any studs

Lot of depends on that one…weight & size of mount matter. Bottom line i would recommend have a stud on at least one side of the mount. Will help secure it.

The more the merrier as they say. If you have a stud available definitely use it. It may be overkill to use for toggle bolts, but I would do it.

Homes usually have studs 16” apart (new homes) or 24” apart (older homes). Sometimes the perfect spot to hang a tv doesn’t hit a stud

@@how2q yes I mean 18mm mdf. So, there is a window, so I will have to mount a piece of mdf to windows right and left to first to make sure it will support the mounting it will create 18mm gap from concrete, then I will place 240x180 cm mdf, it will cover the whole window, also will cover the first mdf piece, On the sides I will put stud between bigger mdf piece and concrete to level. At the and I will place mounting through two 18mm mdf (36mm total). Tv is LG C3. Whole idea is close the window. And I cannot mount it only on concrete because it will not be symmetric. What do you think.
