The problem

This Belmont homeowner wanted a 65-inch outdoor TV on the covered back porch so it sat on the brick wall under the ceiling fan and could tilt down toward the seating instead of staring straight ahead.

What we did

A brick porch wall under a ceiling fan is a tight outdoor layout: the TV has to land in solid structure, clear the fan blades, and still aim at the sofa below. Tilt is the right call here — the screen sits high on the brick, so a slight downward angle keeps the picture comfortable from the cushions.

I set a tilt mount on the brick and hung the 65-inch outdoor TV between the porch windows, under the fan. Side to side, the panel centers on that brick bay. Height-wise, it clears the fan light and leaves a clean margin of brick above and below the screen.

The cords run in gray surface conduit down the brick from the bottom of the TV, with a surface box for power on the wall. That keeps the run neat on a covered porch without cutting into the brick for an in-wall path.

Belmont sits near Belmont University and 12South, with a lot of covered porches and brick walls that want a clean outdoor screen. This porch already had the fan and the seating; the mount and conduit finish the wall without changing the windows or the ceiling.

After the TV was up, I checked the tilt range from the sofa and confirmed the conduit sat straight on the brick. Small nudges on a 65-inch outdoor panel show up fast against mortar lines, so that last look matters before the tools go away.

The photo shows the finished brick wall with the 65-inch outdoor TV on the tilt mount and the gray surface conduit below the screen. The homeowner's review is quoted below in their own words.

Outdoor brick installs around Belmont reward a careful level check and a mount that can tip toward the seating, especially when a ceiling fan already owns the overhead space on a covered porch like this one.
