The problem

This Crieve Hall home needed an outdoor TV on the covered patio, mounted into the brick wall between the French doors and the window so the family could watch outside without a freestanding stand in the way.

What we did

Outdoor brick is a different wall from indoor drywall. The mount has to hit solid structure in the brick, sit level under the wood-plank ceiling, and leave the TV clear of the doors, the window, and the ceiling fan above.

The during photos show the job in progress: the aluminum ladder under the wall, the tilt-mount packaging and tools on the patio table, and the wide patio view with the TV already up while the layout is still being finished. The after photos show the same brick bay with the TV centered between the French doors and the white-trimmed window, level under the ceiling fan.

A tilt mount keeps the screen close to the brick and lets the owner tip it down for glare or seating angle without a long articulating arm out in the weather. The patio stays open underneath, and the install reads as part of the outdoor room rather than a temporary setup.
