Ya'll are crazy. There is 1/2" plywood behind it, just make sure you hit that and you should be perfectly fine. TVs dont weigh 80# like they used to.

The one caveat is if you want a telescoping / full motion mount with a large tv. Then you need to hit studs.

Any suggestions on actual type of mount to use? I'm concerned that some of the larger rectangular mounts will span the hardie boards and therefore not lie flat. I guess the solution to that would just be to install some sort of spacer on the lower connections?

Maybe

quote:

• HardiePlank® lap siding can be installed over braced wood or steel studs, 20 gauge (33 mils) minimum to 16 gauge (54 mils) maximum, spaced a maximum of 24 in o.c. or directly to minimum 7/16 in thick OSB sheathing. See General Fastening Requirements. Irregularities in framing and sheathing can mirror through the finished application. Correct irregularities
before installing siding.


Be safe and find the studs.
