Flat screen mountig?

Posted by mudlady (My Page) on Fri, Dec 21, 07 at 12:21
| I am new to living in manufactured housing--I am in a new double wide. I want to get a flat screen TV, about 36 inches, and wall mount it. Do I have to reinforce the structure behind the wall board? There is a possibility that my crazy cats may climb onto the TV. The new TVs are so light I am afraid if I don't wall mount the cats will eventually knock over theTV.
Thanks,

| We've been getting a lot of requests regarding prepping for wall-mounted TVs in the modular homes we build. They generally involve providing an electrical recepticle and a TV jack at 60" above the floor. We are never asked to provide any additional blocking in the wall so I would surmise that weight is not an issue. I have been told that before you install mounting brackeds or drill a single hole, you should tack a piece of cardboard the size of your intended TV to the wall and stare vacantly at it for a period of time. Questions of the relative entertainment value aside, it will tell you if it is at a comfortable height. Wayne |
