Tv mount on plasterboard
I have a 55inch TV that I want to mount on to the wall. The wall is plaster board and there’s one wooden beam going straight down the centre. We want to put it on this wall as the rooms an awkward shape and there’s not really any other options. Would this be okay? We have the wall plugs that the mounts come with and some reinforced ones we brought. Will the wall hold the Tv? Or will it cause damage to the wall and risk it coming down
Installing clothes rack from angled ceiling
I want to install a new clothing rack in a bedroom which will hang from the slanted roof side of the room. At the lowest point is about 1 metre from the floor and about 2 metres at the highest point, the angle is roughly 45 degrees too – so it seems an ideal size for a rack. I am planning on having joins that hold the rail every half metre or so, to distribute the weight - the length of the rail will be around 2 metres long. Are there any reinforcements for the weight or other adjustments I might need to install the clothing rail on my slanted roof?
