How to Safely Mount a TV on Drywall in Under 15 Minutes?
In this blog post, we’ll show you step-by-step how to mount your TV on drywall securely, without the need for professional assistance or complicated tools.
Mounting a TV on drywall can seem like a daunting task, but with the right tools and the right technique, it can be completed in less than 15 minutes. If you’re looking for a quick, easy, and safe way to mount your TV, then the Elephant Anchors system is the solution you need.
Why Choose Elephant Anchors for Mounting Your TV?
When it comes to mounting a TV on drywall, using the right anchors is essential for a safe and secure installation. The Elephant Anchors are specifically designed to provide superior support for mounting TVs, ensuring that they can bear the weight of even the heaviest sets. These anchors are simple to use, highly effective, and don’t require additional studs or special equipment, making them an ideal choice for drywall installations.
What You’ll Need
Before you begin, gather the following materials:
- Elephant Anchors (Minimum 4 for safety)
- TV Mounting Kit (With all screws and bolts for the TV mount)
- Electric Drill (With the appropriate drill bit)
- Screwdriver
- Level
- Measuring Tape
- Pencil (To mark the spots)
- Stud Finder (Optional, but useful for additional support)
Step 1: Choose the Right Spot on Your Wall
First, determine the perfect height and placement for your TV. Ideally, you want the center of the screen at eye level when seated. Use the measuring tape and level to mark where the mounting bracket will be installed. Ensure the TV will not obstruct any views or furniture and that the area has enough space for your TV size.
Step 2: Mark Anchor Locations
Now that you’ve decided where the TV will go, use your pencil to mark the points on the drywall where the Elephant Anchors will go. Make sure the marks are level, as this ensures your TV won’t hang crooked. If you want added security, you can use a stud finder to locate any studs behind the drywall. However, the Elephant Anchors work great without the need for studs, and you can still achieve a strong, secure mount.
Step 3: Drill Pilot Holes
Using the drill with the provided drill bit, create small pilot holes where you’ve marked the anchor locations. Make sure the holes are the correct size for the Elephant Anchors. This will ensure a snug fit and provide the required support for your TV.
Step 4: Install the Elephant Anchors
Next, insert the Elephant Anchors into the pilot holes. These anchors are designed to expand inside the drywall, creating a strong and secure hold. You won’t need to worry about the anchors slipping or pulling out over time. Simply insert them into the holes and lightly tap them with a hammer until they are flush with the wall.
Step 5: Attach the TV Mounting Bracket
With the anchors securely in place, it’s time to attach the mounting bracket for your TV. Using the screws provided with the mounting kit, align the bracket with the anchors and tighten the screws into the anchors. Make sure the bracket is securely attached and level.
Step 6: Mount the TV
Finally, lift your TV and carefully hang it on the mounted bracket. Double-check that the TV is securely in place and that everything is level.
