Did you get a new TV this holiday season?
Check out this great tutorial by EAV Instructor Ben Engwall on how to
Install a TV mount to metal studs!
Enjoy!

Would it be stronger to also use the Toggler’s to mount the bracket,
instead of the lag screws?
Gustavo Adolfo Rivera Yeomans · September 12, 2014 at 12:16 AM
I have a similar wall config but behind my metal studs there is a concrete
block wall, wouldn’t be better to use that for mounting instead the metal
studs? Also, if so, what bolts and/or anchors do I need, what happens to
the space between drywall and concrete wall in that case? does it matter?

Great video tutorial to mount TV on metal studs! I need to do this very
soon!
Dallas Carroll · September 12, 2014 at 1:04 AM
You done messed up now B Engwall!!

Why does it always come down to the young men???? CAT5A55 comments?
Dallas Carroll · September 12, 2014 at 1:34 AM
As soon as you get off your ass and edit the last one!
CAT5A55 · September 12, 2014 at 1:44 AM
insubordinate and churlish!

Crack supervision is completely accurate…

That young man is quite handsome. I must say.

DO NOT DO WHAT THESE GUYS ARE DOING. I work for a TV mount company and let
me make this clear. Under NO circumstance would you ever want to put a full
motion mount on steel studs. Think about how weak steel studs are and how
much weight you put on them pulling sideways where their not designed to be
strong. I assure you this wall will cave in if someone slams a door near
that wall.

When are you guys going to make another video?
Jason Teen · September 12, 2014 at 4:42 AM
Great video! Any reason why the wall bracket was installed only onto the
very left side of the plywood?
Madison Media Institute · September 12, 2014 at 4:56 AM
Good question! The plywood is meant only to support the weight of the
television on the studs. As long as it is not visible behind the
television, it’s purpose is simply to support the weight. In this case, the
client wanted the TV in a very specific spot, and the plywood needed to
span the width of the studs in the wall to support it. Since you don’t end
up seeing the plywood, it is not incredibly important for the TV to sit
centered on the wood, only that the wood supports the weight.
Madison Media Institute · September 12, 2014 at 5:24 AM
In this instance, the client knew where they wanted to television to be,
and was very specific. The plywood was measured to fit behind the
television, and still reach to at least two studs to secure it to the wall.
Excellent point on the gas/water/electrical lines. It is always important
to know as much about your work space as possible.

Sorry – just a couple more questions before I get started. I should use
3/4″ plywood, right? I have metal studs that are 24″ apart. In order to hit
3, I will have to have it at least 50″ wide (which is too bad because it is
just wider than a standard sheet). Is 50″ wide ok? Or should I go something
like 56″ or so just to be safe? Also, how tall a piece do you recommend?
I’m thinking larger would be better, but I’m a little concerned about the
overall weight of the piece. What would be best?
IQrider02 · September 12, 2014 at 6:47 AM
I don’t know where the young part falls into play… although his demeanor
is pretty cherlish

*** Important Tips on this demonstration *** Safety: There may be
electrical wires, water or Gas pipes in that wall your drilling into.
Always be sure you know what’s behind that wall before drilling..
Professional quality job: A professional would have measured to ensure the
TV mount was in the center of the plywood.
Chris Chuang · September 12, 2014 at 7:59 AM
Thanks for the tutorial! What size lag screws did you use? And do they only
go into the wood or do you screw them into the drywall as well. If so, I’m
guessing you would want to avoid the metal studs when you place your lag
screws, correct? Thanks!

What are the measurements of the plywood used?
Madison Media Institute · September 12, 2014 at 9:00 AM
You should be ok. Assuming the room is built properly, using the support
from three studs should hold just fine. Be sure your plywood spans as much
of the wall as the TV. The more space you use the more support you will
have. We recommend using three toggle bolts per stud.
bjfroese · September 12, 2014 at 9:16 AM
Do you need to use the plywood backing plate? Couldn’t you just use the
toggle bolts to install the mount directly to the studs (assuming your
mount spans at least 2 studs)?
Jon Ishii · September 12, 2014 at 9:51 AM
Oh, by the way, I will not be using an articulating mount. I will be using
a flush mount that allows up to 10 degree tilt.
Jon Ishii · September 12, 2014 at 10:25 AM
Hi, I want to do EXACTLY what you are doing, but I want to mount an 80″,
125lb tv to a wall with metal studs. I don’t know the guage of the metal
studs. I can use plywood to span across 3 studs, but I am worried about the
weight of the overall system – TV, mount, and plywood. I would imagine that
together, it might weigh over 150 lbs. I know the snap toggle bolts
themselves will have no problem with the weight, but I am worried about the
wall collapsing. Is this a valid concern?
