Mounting TV on cob wall?

[Noob2013]

Hey all.

Has anyone experience mounting a 42 or 50" tv on cob wall?

I've heard of putting threaded rod through the wall and bolting the other side or using resin but not sure whether it's a good idea.

The property is almost 200 years old so fixings may be an issue.

Cheers

Isn't it best to take the advice of Andy78 in your post about the back boxes.. http://www.electriciansforums.co.uk...-forum/103645-fixing-back-boxes-cob-wall.html

Yeah maybe. I thought fixing back boxes would of been come across a lot more and fixing a tv was quite specialist.

My first thought when I read that the property is 200yrs old was "Is it listed", if so you need special permissions to even change the shade of colour on the walls. I believe the local council will have a list of listed buildings and also a list of reputable specialists who are allowed to work on such buildings.

Yes it is listed and permission has been granted by the councils planning department.
