65" TV Mount to Cinderblock Wall
I have a 65" Samsung S95B that I want to mount to my wall, with a full motion mount. I live in a townhouse and the wall is made of cinderblock, and based on my measurements, is 6" thick. I measured the distance between my neighbours garage and my own (where the wall is exposed) to determine this. Alot of mounts I see on Amazon, seem to require a minimum 8" solid concrete wall. My TV weighs 48 LBS. Can I safely mount this TV to a cinderblock wall? I'm thinking to use Snaptoggle Screws/Bolts for areas where I drill and hit the hollow space, and then Red Head anchors if I happen to drill into solid part of the block, or mortar. There's drywall dorectly overtop (no studs), so I can't tell where the mortar lines are. Most mounts call for 4 bolts, but I'm thinking maybe 6 (3 top, 3 bottom) to be extra strong. Does this sound safe to do? Or should I avoid this because my wall isn't 8"? submitted by /u/dotshooks [link] [comments]
