36kg TV on wall

[hildrutt]

Hi,

I'm going to hang up a TV that weighs 36kg on a wall. The wall consists of a masonite board + beadboard.

Should I attach the mount to a board that I screw into the studs, or can I screw the mount directly into the beadboard + masonite?

Yes! I wouldn't take the chance on "it should probably hold" anyway.
Unless you can access the studs directly through the mount, then you can skip the board.

Can't you screw into the studs without using a board?
