Can I mount a TV on a wall with a pocket door?
Page 1 of 1
I've just moved into a new house, and I'd really love to mount my TV on a particular wall. However, this wall is only 2.4m long and has a pocket door. Could this wall be strong enough to support a (40") TV? If so, are there any precautions I should take in doing this?
If mounting the TV on the wall isn't a good idea, is there any other way to put the TV in the same spot without using a table/entertainment unit? For example, is there such thing as a bracket to hang TV against the wall with the ceiling taking the load...? (Yes, I'm clutching at straws - I have my heart set on this layout and the silly pocket door is making it very difficult!).
I'm open to any suggestions!
Thank you!

40inch TVs are very light these days. Much lighter than say porcelain tiles which are just gluded onto plasterboard.
I'll mount a large piece of MDF and screw lots of short screws into the studs to even out the load and then screw the bracket to the MDF with lots of short screws
Just don't use long screws or bolts.
FYI it's called an internal cavity slider.
NO
CSD (cavity sliding doors) in the majority of cases, and i've seen lots, have enough issues without introducing another potential problem.
