Sanus Wall Mount

Flat screen TVs are wonderful because you can hang them on the wall. They don't need to rest on a surface and occupy a lot of space in your room. The addition of a flat screen TV to a room with a fireplace can add to the comfort of an already cozy room. Rock walls are ideal places where you can mount a flat screen TV because they are sturdy and can carry the weight of the TV.

Instructions

1

Buy a TV mount that is able to support the weight of your flat screen TV. Be sure that the dimensions of your TV will fit in the mount.

2

Measure your flat screen TV. Then mark the area where you will position it on the wall. You can draw a guide on the wall using chalk. This way, you can center the TV and position it in just the right area above the fireplace.

3

Hold the mount in front of the place on the rock that you want the TV to hang. Mark the points on the rock where the screws will attach the mount to the stone. Check if your marks are level using a carpenter's level.

4

Drill 1-inch holes into the stone at the points you marked. Use a drill with a strong diamond drill bit that is sized properly for the screws that were supplied with the wall mount.

5

Secure the mount to the rock wall by inserting the screws into the holes with an electric screwdriver. Make sure the screws are tight enough that the mount will not move.

6

Check if the mount is straight. Use a level to make sure that the mount is even and flat.

7

Place the TV onto the mount. Every mount is different. Follow the instructions that came with the mount while positioning the TV on it.
