Fitting Instructions for TV Backboard

Tools & Materials Needed:

• Drill and appropriate drill bits
• Screws (at least 6 recommended)
• Screwdriver or impact driver
• Spirit level
• Stud finder
• Measuring tape
• Timber for framing (2x1 dressed timber or similar)
• Wall anchors (if not fixing into studs)
• LED strip kit (optional)
• TV wall bracket (optional)
• Saw/router for cable access hole
• Pencil and masking tape for marking

1. Electrical Preparation

• Install a power socket: Ensure a socket is installed at the desired height and location on the wall where your TV will plug in.

• Mark and router a cable access hole: On the backboard, choose a spot that will be hidden once the TV is mounted. Use a router or hole saw to create an access point for cables.

2. Frame the Wall

• Build a frame using timber: Use 2x1 dressed timber or suitable cut-offs to create a timber framework on the wall. This creates a recess behind the backboard (approx. 18mm, matching the board thickness).

• Leave a 50mm border: Position framing timber at least 50mm in from each edge of the backboard to keep it hidden once installed.

• Pack out the center: Add support in the center area to prevent the board from flexing or bowing when screwed to the wall.

3. Mark Stud Locations

• Use a stud finder to locate studs in the wall.

• Mark the stud positions on the floor or base of the wall using masking tape for reference when placing the board.

4. Mount the Backboard

• Position the backboard: Rest it on a stable support to hold it in place during installation (e.g. blocks or a second person).

• Align with the studs and ensure it is level.

• Fix the board to the wall: Screw through the backboard into the studs, using a minimum of 6 screws. Place screws where they will be hidden by the mounted TV.

5. Optional Add-ons

• LED Lighting: Fit the LED strip around the back of the board in the recess created by the frame. Ensure cable management routes through the access hole.

• TV Bracket: Install the TV bracket directly onto the front of the backboard following the bracket's own fitting guide. Ensure you screw into reinforced points of the board and framing for security.
