Mount Flat TV Without Drilling?

[RickyRozay]

Hi,

I am trying to find a solution to wall mount a TV without drilling anything into the wall, kind of similar to those ultra strength sticky hook things you can put on walls...

http://www.bracketfinder.co.uk/wall...jKP-6FeNumW-47Tt2AMjlqlAHJrKY_EOrEBoCV7nw_wcB

I found this, which doesnt actually say it doesnt need a drill, but from the look of it its just using the tacky type method the hooks do

Regardless, it seems quite expensive! Does anybody know if there are any other products out there? (PS. living in the UK is a pain in the ass cos we dont ever have cheap useful products compared to the USA)

Thanks!

Bracket you linked still uses screws to mount. I don't know of any products that will do what you want. Honestly the idea of hanging a TV with sticky stuff probably isn't a great idea.

 

[RickyRozay]

Problem I have is that its a rental property so we cant do any permanent damage to the wall e.g. drilling

Then get a TV stand. There is no way to hang a 50-150# television using tape.

if its sticky enough to hang a tv off of it will "damage" the walls when you remove it far more than a few screws will. screw holes are easy enough to fix with a little spackle and paint.

There's quite a few sticky brackets and they're suppose to be super strong too but I would never do it.

Usually you can fix the holes when you move out?

I do too, and I drilled four holes anyways. When I move a small amount of spakle (drywall filler) and a bit of white paint and they'll never notice.

I think @blobster21 has a good idea. Get a narrow stand and put it as close to the wall as possible. Unless you have young kids running around then it might get tipped over.

Would something like this work @RickyRozay?

One customer liked the Standit 400, and the other customer review for the Standit 600 is "Not so good; light and flimsy and overpriced."

Right. Every landlord expects tenants to hang pictures and things. I see no difference with hanging a TV wall mount. Yeah, the holes are bigger, but spackling still does the trick. They will like paint the place when you move out anyway as scuffs and other damage to the paint is expected wear and tear.

That said, you can get a decent TV stand for cheap (or a small fortune) that will support your TV plus house your cable box, Blu-ray player, AV receiver and more too.

If you are renting an older place with picture rails, ghetto a hanger from wire and hooks.
If it is newer and doesn't have the rails, a stand as suggested above should do.

 

[Vario]

To fix holes, spackle or toothpaste or putty and then throw some paint over it. Everyone who rents does this. Not a big deal.

 

[Jetster]

Putting a few screws in the wall is not unreasonable. Or lag bolts just fix it when you move

But if you have a girlfriend like my ex you might want a stand. So you can move the furniture a lot

i just went through this and got my landlord to install the TV mount himself, so he was happy with the location.

 

[AsRock]

Isn't shit like this why you pay deposits ?, but yeah try what Mussels said and get him to do it .

There is always HiFi cabinets too.

I'm a landlord myself, own a 8plex apartment building. I dont mind small holes in the wall. I just use some drywall filler that I get at home depot or one time I use tooth paste to fill in the hole, let it kinda dry while I clean other things then took some paint over the tooth paste and looks new.

I have yet for someone to ask me to install their TV but who knows in the future. My favorite one was someone got locked out at 3am and decided to call me to let them in. Never stops but the money is good.

Look out for cables and pipes concealed in the wall.

Are You 100% the Landlord/Property owner wont allow a Vesa mount?? Many are fine IME with them, mine is just 2 Lag Screws that screw into the Studs...aka, 2 1/4" holes in wall, very easy to patch.

just an idea
