Its a stud wall, the timber is actually 95mm by 45mm and that will be covered, not by plasterboard but 12mm of ply, total of 107mm bolting depth. I will be bolting a TV bracket to the timber. My question is which length and size of bolt should I use? And what drill bit size for the pilot...

Jeepers! I'm clarifying my idea and looking for some validation yes. I have planned this whole thing with your guys help based on the belts and braces approach "professionals" use. Now based on my own judgement I believe additional reinforcement is required as I've already stated...

I've not ignored it, I've added to the brilliant advice from Lucid and Sam! I will be doing exactly as they suggested! But with the addition of a timber frame for the additional lag bolts I want to hold the 10kg full motion bracket and 27kg tv!

I'll be replacing the the plasterboard thats on the wall currently with the ply and so it will be flush with the wall. The idea here is to make the bracket unmovable since its only a single stud that will contain 2 lag bolts, top and bottom, and the suggestion is to use other fittings like...

The solution I am going for is more structurally solid, that is what you suggested. Its not your solution of just plywood across 3 studs. Mine includes that and a wooden frame for additional support. Not sure your problem. Also I appreciate the help you've already provided but you may not know...

This is my checklist atm Timber 95mm by 47mm - 4 @14 inches for the horizontal sections. 6 @ 220 minus the top and bottom (47*2) 126mm vertical studs between the top and bottom horizontal sections 8 @ 10 inches vertical to go either side of the top and bottom sections for extra weight...

Ive amended the design slightly [see above]. Now the weight is more evenly distributed. What I'm saying is to use plywood AND a frame, the plywood will be flush against the wall and attached to the three studs and the tv bolted to the center stud and the wood frame behind the plywood... this is...

Thanks Sam, I've got a new wood support to help with load distribution. See more details below. Thanks Lucid. So my idea was to place a wooden frame with 2x4 inside the wall that is what the drawing is demonstrating. Think of it as additional fireblocks into which the tv bracket will affix...

How does this look? There will be 2x4 timber between the existing 3 studs, implemented as following. Will this hold the cantilever 27kg tv?

Understood Lucid, so for more structural validity, the way I see it there are few solutions, none are easy and are they sensible...? Solution 1 - Use 2 wooden batten across 3 studs (3 because I want tv mounted in the center of the 3 studs). And add the mount to that. Will look ugly with 2...

@Lucid - got it, though in the wider bracket I showed a picture of above, the center two holes will be screwed into a stud using these possibly. The remaining holes, 2 either side of the center two, will be attached to plasterboard with snaptoggles or other plasterboard fixing. Will this make...

The studs are about 14 inches apart, and have fireblocks between. Its a solid structure but how solid I dont know. The snaptoggle fittings say they can hold over 100kg on a plasterboard wall. This image shows its quite a span, in terms of height...

I would like to mount a 30Kg tv to a single stud on a platerboard stud wall. Its a new wall so no bricks or anything behind it. I wanted to use this bracket. The mount is quite narrow, so do you think this could be safe enough on single 2 inch stud?
