Mounting a small TV on the wall
by
Sandy
I recently moved into a mobile home which, as you know, the wall are not as substantial as in a regular home. I once saw a TV hung from some kind of cables on a corner wall. Since I have a small kitchen counter, I really have no room for a TV. Can you suggest a way I can hang my small TV? Thank you. Sandy
Suggested Project Book
Tall Corner shelf unit or Stool that TV could stand on and not take up counter top space, because you could use under it to store stuff.
I live in a double wide..we hung our large 65 inch above the fireplace..using sheet rock bolts if you can not find studs. They will hold alot of weight. If you have studs then use the molly bolts for studs.
I went to open shelves in my kitchen and used sheetrock bolts on the brakets..because the studs were not every 16 inches... I have a set of china and glassware on one..large jars of flour, sugar, and other goods on one shelf..and large bowls on another..as well as my collection of antique jugs and crocks on another . The shelves are sold..and I used the sheetrock bolts.
The bolts will easily hold a small tv.
I bought a special corner bracket to hold our TV... we plan on using plywood screwed to the studs throughout the corner to beef up the support... so we don't have to rely on the drywall, (plywood is cheaper than replacing a $600 TV) and we are not confident that the bracket will line up with the studs... we plan on putting a shelf under the TV to hold the Satellite box and DVD player.
