As someone who installs screens regularly, anything articulated like that requires bracing. When I install screens for government departments, they require all mounting hardware to exceed holding capacity by 25%. So you need to factor in both the screen weight and mount weight. Toggles are rated 10kg in Australia, so you would need approx 8 toggles. However you then run the risk of weakening the gyprock structure with too many penetrations that can in the long term fracture. Toggles are handy when using a single stud when the mount cannot reach two. Best method for heavy screens or articulated mounts with large displays where the center of gravity sits too far out is to either brace the wall internally or externally with 15mm or 17mm plywood fixed to a minimum of 2 studs.

Some good points here Mark, thanks for sharing your expertise.

@flemmingss 6 месяцев назад

I will say a better solution is to mount a wood plate behind in the studs, and the mount to the woodplate.

When trying 'not to find a stud' did you just try to find one? They always seem to move from where you really need one. 🤣

My wall between my garage and 2nd living we discovered has no studs... we don't know how.. we assume the garage and home were once separated then Poorly connected.

In my last house, I mounted a big tv where there weren't enough studs, i used a 2x4's as furring strips to span the gap and secured everything with huge lag bolts. Drywall anchors are not my style.

@robertflanders1158 6 месяцев назад

I love your bloopers, too bad you didn't mount TV more to the left so you couldn't close the door.

@twistsouth514 6 месяцев назад

My new build home (UK) was built during the timber shortage a couple years ago so many of the non-load-bearing studs in the partition walls are these thin metal style. Can’t effectively screw into these and I don’t really trust self tapping screws for this so I used snap toggle bolts a few years ago to mount my TV bracket into the metal studs. It’s a bit more fiddly as the studs are super narrow so you really need to find the dead center when drilling the hole but I used 3 along the stud and then another 4 around the stud just into the drywall at the sides of the bracket. The side ones aren’t really doing any heavy lifting, they’re more just for horizontal stability but they help sandwich the drywall. The 3 into the stud are solid and I can absolutely hang off the bracket. There is zero flex at all. Great invention.

I don't know why people are so obsessed with putting huge TVs on the walls. I have a 40 inch dumb TV on a dresser in my cave, and a smart TV on a dresser in front of the bed in the master bedroom, and they're both the perfect viewing height for us. The upside to the one in the bedroom is one of our cats LOVES to do laps around the TV, which serves as good entertainment before watching our nightly Godzilla movies before we sleep.

@tonygoshive785 6 месяцев назад

I mount tvs for a living. Over 55” I definitely would recommend using a flat or tilt becket only if on plasterboard. If customer insists on full motion, then I’d use 4 snap toggles and 4 duo power plugs, but no guarantee given as against recommendations. But I always use snap toggle regardless when fitting tvs on plasterboard

@demontekdigital1704 6 месяцев назад

"If customer insists." Yeeeeeah they're not always all that smart. "Well, the neighbors have their 80" TV on the wall so we HAVE to have ours on a wall too!" Monkey see, monkey do. Lol

Metal studs are also an issue. Terrible screw retention. I also find installing blocking is necessary for those as well.

@TheFunnyCarpenter 6 месяцев назад

@@TheFunnyCarpenter It's possible to put a 5/16" -1/4" drill bit through them and get a toggle bolt set inside; I still prefer blocking though.

@chrisy4011 3 месяца назад

I have the toggler bolts holding my 65" TV on a mount through plaster walls and it's held up for 2 years still and no studs. Also, you're using all your weight. Tvs don't pull down and mine weights less than 50lbs

@STV-H4H 6 месяцев назад

Speaking as a professional installer I wouldn’t recommend it for any articulating mounting, over 50”. 60-65” could work, so long as the tv is only pulled out for rear access, but I’d never trust a customer’s FSTV to be done this way. On occasion it has been necessary that I had only one stud and used a couple of those anchors, but only because I was able to have reasonable assurance and confidence that the tv would not ever be extended in use. Plus it was a very lightweight 60” screen. As for flush mounts, shear is so unlikely. As I tell my customers that provide that type, I figure only an earthquake would cause failure, I live in Wisconsin, so it’s not an issue.

@pocketlint82 6 месяцев назад

For some reason towel racks never seem to be 16" so only one side can be in a stud. These would be perfect for the other side

@backbackforward 6 месяцев назад

Stupid question but how can you find the stud besides knocking with your hand?

@landonmaurer2453 6 месяцев назад

studfinders, measuring for 16 or 24 off outlets after figuring out what side the studs on, drilling a hole to see, magnets to find the drywall screws

@TheFunnyCarpenter 6 месяцев назад

A little magnet study buddy will work or if you want the best stud finder that pro's use I recommend the Franklin 710.

At a certain point you either hit a few studs or you cut the drywall and install blocking. I would install blocking and get a good nights sleep.

For a tv on a mount that just tilts up and down I would 100% trust the snap toggles. For a pull out arm, ya you're probably right. Thanks for checking out the vid!

2' centres and steel studs present problem that Snap Toggles can solve. As well you will run into the odd fireplace situation where there is no framing at all.

@saltydroog854 6 месяцев назад

I think for me it is, "is it a matter of good practice". There are studs ever 16" (usually). Why not use them? So it almost doesn't matter if it happens to hold up or not. The people that are too inept to find a stud, are better off not having the confidence to tackle this task.
