Tips before you mount

• Cedar Hill's hills and clay soils move foundations; fresh cracks at drywall corners are common. Locate studs with a finder and avoid mounting on cracked sections.
• New builds in Lake Ridge and similar communities are the easiest to retrofit: studs are 16" on center, so lag the mount into two studs with 5/16" lags and run low-voltage cable pulled through an in-wall conduit.
• More than 95 percent of recent new-construction sales there came with an HOA, so check the covenants before adding an outdoor TV, speaker wiring or exterior conduit on a front elevation.
• On a stone or brick fireplace wall use 1/4" concrete screws or 3/8" sleeve anchors with a hammer drill, drilling into the face of the stone or brick.
• Hill-top and lake-view patios face strong wind and afternoon sun: use an outdoor-rated TV with stainless hardware and a secure locking mount.
• Cord concealment: NEC 400.12 does not allow a regular TV cord to run inside the wall; use a recessed power kit and CL2/CL3 cable for HDMI.
