MUST WATCH: Mounting a 55" TV on a TREE?!

We’ll cover how to set up a stable mount, the benefits, and the challenges of tree mounting, and why this might be the perfect way to enhance your outdoor living experience.

When it comes to TV mounting, we often think of the standard wall or pillar installations. However, what if I told you that you could take it a step further and mount your TV on a tree? It might sound like an outlandish idea, but with the right tools and techniques, it’s actually possible—and surprisingly simple!

In today’s blog post, we’re going to take you through the unique and fun experience of mounting a 55” TV on a tree, using the easy and reliable solutions provided by Condomounts. 

Why Mount a TV on a Tree?

There’s a growing trend of creating outdoor entertainment spaces, from backyard patios to open-air gazebos. While traditional mounting on walls or pillars works perfectly fine, a tree offers an intriguing alternative. Trees are often sturdy, easy to access, and provide a natural, rustic feel to your outdoor entertainment area. Imagine watching your favorite shows or sports games with a cool breeze rustling through the leaves and a natural canopy overhead—it adds a touch of adventure and novelty to the experience.

Tools You’ll Need for Tree TV Mounting

Before you start, you’ll need the right equipment for this job. Condomounts provides a variety of no-drill mounting solutions that make installation quick and easy, even for unusual setups like a tree. Here’s a list of the essential tools and products you’ll need:

1. Condomounts Pillar TV Mount 
   
   Yes, the same mount used for pillars can work for trees too! This versatile TV mount supports various post and pillar shapes and sizes, including trees. It comes with adjustable straps and a ratchet system that makes it easy to secure your TV to any tree with a sturdy trunk.
   
   
   
   

2. Ratchet Straps 
   
   The key to keeping your TV safely mounted on the tree. These straps provide a strong grip and can be adjusted to ensure a snug fit, making them perfect for trees with uneven or bark-covered surfaces.
   
   

3. Level
   
   To make sure your TV is mounted evenly and straight, you’ll need a level. While it may seem simple, getting the angle right is essential for a great viewing experience.
   
   

4. Cable Management Kit
   Outdoor installations can expose cables to the elements, so it’s important to manage your TV’s wires properly. Condomounts offers cable management solutions that will keep everything neat and tidy.

How to Mount Your 55" TV on a Tree

Mounting your TV on a tree is not as difficult as it sounds. Here’s a step-by-step guide to help you do it safely:

1. Select the Right Tree
   Choose a sturdy tree with a thick trunk, ideally one that’s at least 3 feet in diameter. The tree should be healthy with no loose branches that could interfere with the installation.
   
   
   

2. Position the Mount
   
   
   Using the Condomounts Pillar TV Mount, position it against the tree trunk. Make sure the TV will be at a comfortable viewing height. Use a level to ensure the mount is positioned straight.
   
   
   

3. Secure the Straps
   Wrap the ratchet straps around the tree, making sure they’re tight and secure. The straps should hold the mount firmly in place, preventing any wobble or instability.
   
   
   

4. Mount the TV
   Once the mount is securely attached, carefully lift and hook your 55” TV onto the mount. Adjust the TV for the perfect viewing angle.
   
   
   

5. Final Adjustments
   Tighten the straps and make any final adjustments to the position or angle of the TV. Use a cable management kit to hide wires and ensure everything is safely secured.

The Benefits of Tree Mounting

• Unique Aesthetic:
  Mounting your TV on a tree creates a unique and natural outdoor setup, perfect for entertaining guests or enjoying some relaxation in the open air.
  
  
• Space Efficiency:
  A tree installation frees up valuable wall or pillar space, giving you more flexibility with your outdoor layout.
  
  
• Stability
  If you choose the right tree and use sturdy straps, you’ll find that the setup can be just as secure as any wall or pillar mount.

Challenges to Consider

While mounting a TV on a tree can be a fun and creative way to install your TV, there are a few challenges to keep in mind. Trees move in the wind, so you’ll want to make sure the TV is mounted in an area with minimal movement. Additionally, tree bark and uneven surfaces may require a little extra effort to achieve a perfect mount.
