Hanging TV Outside on Hardie Board
Posted on 11/6/19 at 7:45 am

I've never done this before. Does anyone have any good tips on how to attach the bracket and make things level enough?

Agree. The osb or plywood substrate with an anchor like that will hold pretty much anything. Obviously hitting a stud directly with a lag bold it best but osb is surprisingly strong.

I would not go only into the siding.
You need to attach to the wall studs. Into the studs, you are not putting the load on the siding.
That hardie, can chip and crack easily

This. Hardie Board is very brittle and can easily crack. I would treat it like you would drywall inside and find a stud to mount to.

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?

• 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.

almost all new mounts have adjustment for off center and tilt.

Installed on hardiplank into plywood 5 years ago. No studs. No anchors. 70 inch tv. Hasn't fallen yet.

If there is plywood, sure thing. My point was there may not always plywood or OSB.

There’s always substrate regardless of what the owners manual says. You couldn’t pass an inspection without it.
Basically if a house is new enough to have hardie, it has substrate.
<- owns wood sided house w/o substrate.

Let me start this over: no one is hanging a tv on just hardie.

i cut 2 2x4s to match the hardie and drilled them into studs. then screed the mount into that let me find a pic.

I'm doing this tomorrow. Will a stud finder go through hardie?
I've got power running to the corner nearest the family room with a corner mount. Anything extra I need to be careful of?

Looking into doing this. Is there a product to help you mount your TV flat against the hardie board? Something contoured to the siding similar to this?
I know they make mounting blocks for vinyl siding, but not sure on hardie. Is it necessary or would you just mount it straight through the hardie board? I definitely have OSB backing.
