Mount TV on Metal Studs
Mounting a TV on metal studs can seem daunting, but with the right tools and techniques, it’s a task anyone can accomplish. Elephant Anchors provide the perfect solution for securely mounting your television or any other heavy items on metal stud drywall. In this comprehensive guide, we’ll walk you through the process step-by-step, ensuring a safe and sturdy installation.
Understanding the Challenge
Metal studs are commonly used in modern construction, especially in commercial buildings and some homes. While they offer a range of benefits, mounting heavy items like televisions on metal studs requires specific tools and methods. Unlike wood studs, metal studs can’t hold screws directly, which is where Elephant Anchors come into play.

Elephant Anchors are designed to distribute weight efficiently across a broader surface area, making them ideal for metal studs. They provide a reliable and secure hold, ensuring that your TV stays firmly in place. Here’s why Elephant Anchors are the best choice:
- Heavy-Duty Performance: Capable of supporting significant weight.

Before you begin, make sure you have the following tools and materials:
- Elephant Anchors (available in various sizes)

Step-by-Step Guide to Mounting Your TV:
Locate the Metal Studs:
Use a stud finder to locate the metal studs behind your drywall. Mark the edges of each stud with a pencil to ensure precise drilling.
Measure and Mark the Mounting Points:
Determine the ideal height for your TV. Measure and mark the exact points where you’ll be drilling. Ensure that these points align with the metal studs.
Drill Pilot Holes:
Using a drill bit that matches the size of your Elephant Anchors, drill pilot holes at the marked points. This will make it easier to insert the anchors.
Insert Elephant Anchors:
Insert the Elephant Anchors into the pilot holes. Use a hammer if necessary to ensure they are flush with the wall.
Secure the TV Mount Bracket:
Attach the TV mount bracket to the wall, aligning it with the anchors. Use the screws and bolts provided in the Elephant Anchors package to secure the bracket firmly.
Mount the TV:
Once the bracket is securely in place, follow the manufacturer’s instructions to mount your TV onto the bracket. Ensure that the TV is level and properly secured.
