I am looking at mounting a 55quot; flat panel TV (which weighs approx70lbs) on what I believe is a non-load bearing wall, with TV and mount device this could end up in the 100lb rangeThe wall is in a high (16ft as it has an open balcony overlook) it is in a condoand it runs about 15 ft with a full side then 10 to 12 more feet with just a runner at the top which is about a foot longWhere I want to put it is over a flush mount fire place, (gas fire place)If this will hold the load I plan to use 1x6 or even 2x4 backing as the studs are aluminumIs this possible?Thanks!
Your mounting proposal sounds okayIf you use extra backing as you've suggested, then attach the wall mount frame to the backing at 4 points, the load on each point is only going to be 25 lbs or lessAs for the aluminum studs, I had those at my business and they are surprisingly strongNo problem thereBut you do have a problem: your connecting cables (antenna or cable box lead, surround sound output, DVD input, a.cpower, etc.)You can't go back through the wall and you can't go downIt leaves you with some really difficult choices(There are models coming on the market that have a wireless link for all signals, to a console elsewhere in the room, but you'd still need the a.cpower receptacle.) Bottom line, most people are happier with an installation that provides easy access to the back of the set.
yepthat would be fineif he does get shelter at some point of the day, then yeshe would be fineand i would shelter him at night and keep him out for the whole dayi think that's what you said, but oh well! but really you only need a blanket if you showshow riders buy blankets so their horses hair won't shed all over the placebut, if it is like FREEZING where you live, then i guess it would be okay Happy Trails!
