In this step-by-step guide, we'll walk you through the entire process, from preparation to installation.
Mounting a TV on a pillar is an excellent solution if you're looking to save space, enhance your viewing experience, or create a sleek, modern look. If you're not keen on drilling into your walls or just want a flexible solution, Condomounts has you covered. The Condomounts Pillar TV Mount is a no-drill solution that makes mounting your TV on any pillar simple, secure, and hassle-free.
What You Need
Before diving into the installation, make sure you have everything you need. Here’s what comes with the Condomounts Pillar TV Mount kit:
- Pillar TV Mount (compatible with most TV sizes)
- Ratchet Straps (for a secure hold)
- Mounting Hardware (screws, bolts, etc.)
- Installation Manual (to guide you through the process)
You’ll also need a measuring tape, level, and a power drill (if your pillar requires minimal drilling for mounting the brackets).
Step 1: Choose the Right Location
The first thing you need to do is determine where you want to place your TV. Make sure that your chosen pillar is sturdy enough to hold the weight of the TV and the mount. Condomounts’ pillar TV mounts are designed to work with a variety of pillar shapes and sizes, so you don’t have to worry about compatibility.
Use a measuring tape to figure out the height at which you want the TV mounted. Consider the seating area and make sure the TV is at an optimal eye level for comfortable viewing. Don’t forget to leave room for any additional cables or devices you may need to connect to the TV.
Step 2: Position the Mounting Bracket
Now that you've picked the perfect spot, it’s time to position the mounting bracket on the pillar. The bracket is designed to be easily adjustable to ensure a perfect fit. Start by placing the bracket against the pillar and using a level to make sure it’s straight. Mark where the mounting holes will go.
In some cases, you may need to drill small pilot holes in the pillar to ensure the mount is securely attached. However, this process is minimal and won't affect the integrity of the pillar.
Step 3: Attach the Mounting Straps
Once the bracket is positioned, it’s time to secure the ratchet straps. These straps are a key feature of the Condomounts Pillar TV Mount, ensuring that your TV stays firmly in place without the need for heavy drilling. Wrap the straps around the pillar, passing them through the designated loops on the mount, and pull them tight. The ratchet system makes tightening the straps easy, giving you full control over how secure the mount is.
Step 4: Install the TV onto the Mount
With the mount firmly attached to the pillar, it’s time to mount the TV. First, attach the mounting brackets to the back of your TV using the included mounting hardware. These brackets are designed to fit most TV models, so don’t worry about compatibility issues.
Once the brackets are securely in place, carefully lift the TV and hang it on the mounting bracket. Make sure the TV is level and securely locked into place. You can adjust the tilt and swivel features of the mount to find the perfect viewing angle.
Step 5: Test the Stability
Before you call it a day, test the stability of your mount. Gently push or pull the TV to make sure it’s secure. If you feel any wobbling or movement, adjust the straps or bracket positioning until everything is locked in place.
