I have constructed a ceiling/wall mount for my TV that will be installed in a sloped ceiling.
The parts that attach to the ceiling are 4 angle irons, which I plan to fasten with 4 screws each. The ceiling is a tretex board with tongued and grooved boards behind it.
The screw options I am considering are:
6mm hex lag bolt or 5 mm wood screw with a round head.
The wood screw is clearly simpler and looks better, but I wonder if it will hold. The TV is a 50" plasma weighing about 40kg.
What do you think, should I choose the hex lag or the wood screw?
Attaching a model of the ceiling and mounts.
