Fixing the TV to the wall with your own hands

An important task is not just to install the TV on the wall, but to make it as comfortable and convenient as possible. Watching the screen hanging close to the ceiling is convenient only from the prone position. In other poses, there may be tension in the eyes and neck.

Manufacturers of TV panels recommend the following:

• Check the wall for its strength, on the surface of plasterboard can not place a plasma, it just can not withstand the weight;
• Turn to a professional master, if there is no self-confidence;
• Alone to mount the TV on the wall can only be with a total mass of not more than 25 kilograms;
• It is forbidden to connect to the network until the installation is complete;
• When placing the TV, remember that air should come to the rear wall, otherwise the panel will overheat.

The correct placement of the TV is not only its installation, but also the maintenance of the interior solution. The device can be framed with a special decorative frame or installed in a niche of a certain color. It all depends on the individuality of the interior.

Features of mounting the TV to the wall

You can install only on a flat and clean surface, without protrusions or depressions. The distance from the floor is not less than a meter, and the distance to the nearest viewing point of the TV should be at least three times the size of its diagonal. Watching the screen without losing the brightness of the image is possible if it is attached to the wall at an acute or a right angle.

Avoid locations where solar radiation can directly affect the equipment. From this, the picture is lost, and the surface may suffer. It is not recommended to install the TV fastener on the wall near window or doorways.

When assembling the bracket with your own hands, it should be well fixed to the wall surface. For reliability, you can use a thick thread or belt.

Types of brackets

Plasma fastening devices on the surface can be stationary and rotary. In the first case, the bracket is simply mounted to the wall, and the TV is fixed in a certain position on an ongoing basis.

Pivoting has more functions, but such devices are more expensive. Turning, in turn, can be divided into:

• Folding;
• Rotary;
• Tilt-and-swivel.

Brackets produce different sizes for different TVs. Fastening for the TV on a wall of 32 inches is more often rotary-folding, and for large diagonals - inclined and stationary. Everything is connected with a large mass of devices with a wide screen. The swivel version simply can not withstand the load.

Any kind of bracket can be purchased at the store. The larger the diagonal of the TV, the higher the cost of the bracket. Therefore, it is not surprising that many people have a desire to make hardware for the TV on the wall with their own hands.

Making the bracket with your own hands

Before you start, you need to decide what will be the fastener for the TV on the wall in the finished version. Easier to manufacture stationary bracket. Save, not buying this for a large TV, you can several times.

By preparing the drawing, you can understand what materials and tools will be needed in the work. Calculations can be made manually or using a program on the computer. The circuit can also show the reliability of the connection of parts. It should be at the highest level, otherwise the design will not withstand the weight, and the long-awaited purchase will simply be shattered.

Bracket of bars

Elementary wall mount for LG TV and not only consists of three bars, they are selected according to the length of the design. In one of them, holes are made at the same distance from each other. This bar will be attached to the body of the TV. Do this carefully, without damaging the equipment.

Fastening is made with the help of bolts. The second bar is mounted on the surface, its attachment must be careful, also with the help of bolts. Connect the device to the wall will be the third bar, with its help you can adjust the angle. Then the entire structure is firmly fixed.

Wall mounting from pipe

Mounting on the wall for the TV "Samsung" can be assembled from a rectangular tube. The pipe dimensions should be selected individually for their model, taking into account the functionality.

If the distance is small, for example only 20 mm, then the panel will be snug against the wall, and the possibility of connecting the equipment will be difficult. With a large distance from the surface, for example 60 mm, the possibility of connecting additional wires will be, but this design looks ugly. The optimal option is a distance of 40 mm. And the height of the pipe can be 60 mm. Its length depends on the length of the TV itself and the distance between the mounting holes. The TV mount on the 42-inch wall must support its weight.

Making a wall fastener

Having determined the size, you can prepare the desired pipe. Next, there is a markup for the holes. On the pipe itself, you need to make holes with a 10 mm diameter for fixing the TV, and for wall mounting - another three 8 mm in diameter.

Marking them occurs at the same distance from each other and from the edges of the pipe. The grooves for securing the TV must be twisty, this eliminates the accidental rise or its displacement.

Mounted to the wall of the pipe can be different devices. If it is brick, it is better to use the dowel-nails, if it is wooden, then self-tapping screws. The main thing - to fulfill the main task - a strong fastening. Then the workpiece can be brought to a noble appearance, painting it. This part of the rectangular pipe will be attached to the wall.

Fixing parts on the TV

Next, you need to make a part for mounting the panel of the TV. This will require the following:

• Bolts - 2 pieces in diameter, corresponding to thread for mounting on TV (in this case 20 mm mark M5);
• Washers - 4 pieces internal diameter 5 mm, external 20 mm;
• Rubber bushings with an internal diameter of 5 mm, with an outer 10 mm, they must match the diameter of the grooves in the pipe.

If necessary, the TV bracket can be adjusted to the wall by tilting, for this one of the bolts can be used longer, install a lock nut on it, which will adjust the turn.

Making stops

Next, you need to do the manufacturing of stops against the wall, these will be the two lower bolts of the TV. In order for the bolts to gently rest against the wall, they can be put on rubber lining, which can be made from improvised materials, for example, from an old hose from the car. On the TV set two screws with stops and bolts with washers and bushings. In the complete set with TV there are special fixing tapes, they also need to be fixed.

We collect the entire bracket in the installation site. First, we fix the prepared pipe to the wall with nails or screws. The installation should be carried out with the building level. Next, opposite the loops fixed on the TV, make hooks.

Now you can make fastenings on the wall for a Samsung TV. It is better to do this with an assistant, even if the weight of the panel is small. You should hang the TV, adjust the angle and secure it firmly.

How can I hide cables?

When installing the panel in a fixed location, it is correct to hide the cables in the hole in the wall. To do this, you will have to channel the channel. If the feasibility of such a channel is in question, you can simply close the wires with a special plastic box. It can be purchased at any construction store. Initially it is white, but you can paint it in the tone of the interior or make it contrast. You can close the wallpaper in color.

So, we figured out how to make our own hands fastener for the TV on the wall, so as not to resort to expensive help from professionals.
