TV is mounted and hasnt fallen yet :)
You guys were right about the 2x4s across the niche looking bad. Once I mocked it up with the studs on the left/right walls it would extend too much past the tv (I hoping tv would cover up the 2x4s on the walls but did not when looking at it from the...
Yes on vertical corner studs.
Regarding the "inner" 2x4 frame idea, what is basic way to connect the frame together? Not to the niche/wall studs, but I am assuming I want to connect each side of the frame together for added strength.
Steel angle pieces or just screw them together before...
I forgot to mention that I might have made a mistake about their being studs on the right side. I have a magnetic stud finder and could not find any nail/studs on the right (only left side).
I am not too familar with niche constructions, but since it is an exterior wall there should be...
Ah, didn't even think of that. The inner niche stud (on left side) to front is about 14 inches. Front of niche to front of fireplace mantle is 7 inches, so about 21 inches to clear any obstructions to store the tv flat when not in use (angled to the right when in use).
My measurements maybe...
I was actually thinking of doing that first when I was selecting a mount, but back of the niche to the front is 24 inches and then to clear the fireplace mantle would add a few more inches (i think ideal position would have the tv slightly over the mantle tilted down).
So It would take...
Honestly, I like stuff to look good but my laziness/cheapness outweighs it here. I think it would actually look best mounted over the fireplace and use a down and out mount to move it to a better position when being viewed. Then I would turn the niche into a cabinet or something. But I only paid...
What size lag bolt should I go with? I am assuming 4.5 inch minimum ( 2inch (2x4 on wall) + .5 (drywall) + 2 inch for stud in wall) or is it best to not drive the bolt all the way through the stud inside the wall?
Hope the picture helps. I made some quick notes on it:
Green is the width of the niche: 37 inches
Blue is the depth of the niche: 24 inches.
Height is 59 inches.
Gold lines are studs. On the inner side of the niche there are two studs.
Red is what is how I think the plywood should...
Lol, yeah I know TTIWWP :), but back to front (depth) on the niche is 24 inches + a few more inches to clear the fireplace mantle. The mount I selected is 14 inches max extension. Though checking Amazon, the longer reach mounts are 2-3x more expensive and I feel plywood + shorter mount is safer...
I currently have a TV Niche that only fits a 32 inch TV. I got a 49inch HDTV that I want to replace it with. Due to the location of the niche (between fireplace mantle and window), I also want to use a Dual Articulating Arm (13.5" Extension) TV Wall Mount Bracket.
Basic research says I need to...
