Log Cabin TV Mount

[nobbynufc]

Hi,

I've built a man cave bar/pub and want to mount a TV on the wall, it's a 43". I've got a universal bracket for it but am conscious that the walls are still "active" and need to settle, or whatever it's called.

I've read conflicting reports that it's fine, some say don't do it at all and some say put a piece of wood, a kind of spacer in first while making sure the bottom scree is not fully secure so the wall can still move ...which lead me to question if that would be secure enough to hold the TV, I think it's net weight is only like 7kg

Anyone done something like this? I've had a nightmare with man caves as the last one was a "high quality" shed and it was anything but so want everything to be perfect this time

Walls are 44mm thick so would need additional screws as the ones divided with bracket are too big

Thanks in advance - pics attached

Just screw to wall , if it’s “settling” something’s seriously wrong with the build .

Doubt there wil be an issue over that short distance, but...

If very worried try to screw it centrally to only one plank.
Or only use the top screw holes - I notice there are 4 which will be more than enough to take 7kg load.

Regarding screws, I always throw away the 'soft' screws that come with anything I buy, and instead use 'good' screws.

Suggest a kit like this (avlible from other suppliers)
