Outdoor TV Stand

I was given an old Sony KDL40EX400 40inch LCD TV so decided to use it. My BBQ area is starting to become a focal point of the house and decided it would be a good idea to have a TV that I can mount/dismount easy and I don't plan on leaving it up over night etc.

I was using my existing pillar for support and didn't want to drill into my house, also wanted this to be easily removable when and if I decide to sell the house or take it down.

The pillar is 320mm wide and deep, so found some scrap 4x2 framing timber.

Cut the following:

1x 1800mm for support

2x 320mm (Front and Back)

2x 455mm (Sides)

Collected the following extras:

5x E8 100mm Screws

12x 100mm Wood Screws

1x TV Wall Mount - Wall side bracket (free cause not complete from local shop)

2x U Brackets (50mm)

2x M6x16mm Bolts

I found it easiest to build it in place then take apart and make any changes, lucky it went together perfect.

As it was going to be outside, I stained it the same colour as my BBQ area. Took about 45 minutes to dry then mounted the bracket with M10 40mm screws.

Mount the TV onto it, works perfect, doesn't even strain the wood at all. Super easy to get on and off.
