I wanted to hang my 43” tv in my metal roofed gazebo and came across your video. I was trying to figure out the best way to do it. Had no idea about the threaded rivet tool. Bought it at Harbor Freight and within 30 minutes had the tv hung. Thank you for this video.
This was a great idea and set of instructions. Not quite everything is self-explanatory, but anyone can figure it out. I bought a different rivet tool since the one you posted is no longer available and was disappointed with the sparse instructions and lack of a storage box for it, but was able to get the job done.
That was a very helpful video. Just one critique. It’s a gazebo not a pergola. Pergolas have intermittent openings in the roof and gazebos have an entirely closed in roof. I only mention it because it was a little misleading when searching TV installation videos for gazebos
Great video!! I got the same tv mount and rivet tool you suggested from Amazon .It was perfect for my 43 inch TV in my 12x 10 steel Gazebo! Thanks so much!
Thanks for sharing. I used the ZeboZAP that straps on the vertical post. Pasted some duct tape on the screen and slit through to put the straps through.
Great install! Question. With that mount, would it be possible to pull the TV forward and up until the screen is essentially flush with the underside roof for added protection when not in use?
I am going to help my uncle put up a TV in his new canopy gazebo hexagon. He has top horizontal connection pipes that are for hanging items. There are three pipes, top two and one below, aligned with one. We were able to hang an outdoor fan with the side arms slipping right into the 3 hanging pipes. So am looking for a VESA mount that would do this.
I forget the bit but I used an M6 river/bolt combo. Went to the local hardware and pickup up some M6x1 or 1.25. Depends how big your frame is and a couple washers. Just match up the bit to the river size.
This video is exactly what we have been looking for. Bought the same rivet nut tool on Amazon. Do you recall what size rivet nut you used and what size drill bit you used for that rivet size? We are having trouble finding the right size drill bits per the chart that came with the tool.
I was all set to install the mount you used on my Purple Leaf gazebo and realized that the triangle roof pieces have a lip that is going into the channel I was putting rivets in. Does your gazebo not have the roof pieces sitting in that channel you mounted too? I stopped my project shy of drilling.
My BJs brand does not have this. The panels sit on top of the frame but it does not act as a channel. The holes do not go through the top either so no worries on mine.
Thanks for sharing. Can you please tell me what size screws did you use and what size Rivet nut did you use for the holes and what size drill bit? Did you use? Thank you.
Gosh, I've been struggling with trying to figure out how to mount the TV and speaker mounts in the exact same spot you did! I was trying to find "shallow" toggle bolts or something, but couldn't find anything that would work with just a 3/4" clearance! This rivet tool seems to be the trick! What size rivet did you use? Going to pick one up on Amazon ASAP! Thank you!
Great video thanks We have a metal pergola/ gazebo too but the bar in the roof is only about 1/2 inch thick and it's right up on the exterior roof. Do you think the NEU MASTER Rivet Nut Tool, will support a 65 inch TV? thanks, any suggestion? john
Appreciate the video as well. Ordered everything off your links, got a 43 inch TV for $160. I've seen alot about how much better an outdoor TV is, but was wondering if you had anymore suggestions to protect the TV?
It’s in the description but here you go. Look around others may be cheaper but this worked great for me. Zoom Zoom Parts 13" Hand Rivet... www.amazon.com/dp/B08QVC5V8F?ref=ppx_pop_mob_ap_share
I wouldn’t use this on wood, what they do make are wooden rivets that screw into a pre-drilled hole that then allow you to add a bolt. Just search “wood rivet”
I just put up a similar Gazebo yesterday. You used a 32 inch tv...are you happy with the tv size or do you wish you went bigger? Im debating what size to mount up.
I originally purchased a 43 but decided to take your advice and do a 32. It turned out great! It’s just the right size. This video was really helpful…thanks!
Great video thank you so much. I bought everything that you depicted in your video but I got a 43 inch television but my question is my cover does not have a hole in the top for the ceiling mount. Do you have a link to the one that you bought it looks like your cover has a round hole for the pole coming down from the ceiling mount?
