Once you ve picked an ideal location for hanging a tv on the wall run a stud finder along the top of the paper.
Stone wall tv mount.
Once the stacked stone installation is complete install the tv side of the wall mount on the tv unit itself and hang the entire unit on the wall.
Here is the very up close side view of the back of the mount.
Do not use hollow wall anchors as they cannot support the weight of tv wall mount brackets and the television.
Mounting a tv above stone fireplace produces a beautiful centerpiece and opens up table space.
Locate the two studs in your wall that will support your tv.
Most wall mounts will make a distinctive click when the unit is secured.
The mount will clip onto or slot into the mounting bracket on the wall.
As you can see in the photo above my husband cut the stone wide enough to fit a piece of 2x4 wood long enough for the bracket we purchased.
He screwed the 2x4 directly into the stud followed the mount instructions to attach the tv mount onto the wall.
A couple extra sets of hands can help a lot in this step by helping guide the tv into place and plugging in managing the cords.
Step 7 ask a friend or two to help you lift the television to attach it to the mounting bracket.
