Hi All,
Your advice please. I have a lovely new telly arriving in time for Christmas, and I've bought a lovely articulated bracket for it (Vogels THIN 345
The TV will weigh 19.5Kg - well within the specifications for the mount. I've contacted Vogels and they're happy that the TV is compatible with this bracket.
The fixing plate for the bracket is not substantial - there are four holes, spaced 22mm centre-to-centre horizontally and 263mm vertically. The plate measures 58mm x 295mm.
At the moment, my plan is this:
- Cut a hole slightly larger than the bracket fixing plate in the plaster and cut through the lathes;
- Fix a wooden plate (as large as I can get into the hole) to the wall (it's a stone gable-end wall) using the most substantial compression fixings I can (well clear of the fixing plate holes);
- Fix to this (using glue and screws) a piece of wood that is approximately the size of the fixing plate (58 x 295) and ends as close as possible to flush with the existing wall surface - this should give me around 70mm depth, I think (I'll find this out when I dig into the wall);
- Screw the fixing bracket in using the longest, heftiest wood screws I can get through the holes.
Can you guys please pick holes in this plan for me (and hopefully suggest alternatives!)?
Cheers - Adam...
