How to Secure Your Outdoor Mounted TV

Mounting a TV outdoors can transform your backyard, patio, or gazebo into an instant entertainment hub, perfect for movie nights, sports events, or gaming sessions. However, protecting your TV from the elements and ensuring it stays securely in place when not in use are essential considerations. Fortunately, with the ZeboZap DIY Gazebo TV Mount, securing your outdoor TV is a breeze. This post will walk you through how to use this innovative mount to keep your TV safe and sound, using just two bungee cords for added security.

Why Secure Your Outdoor TV?

Outdoor environments can be unpredictable, with factors like wind, rain, and dust potentially affecting your TV. While the ZeboZap mount is designed to hold your TV securely under normal conditions, adding an extra layer of security with bungee cords is a smart move—especially if your TV is mounted in an area prone to strong winds or if you simply want peace of mind when your TV is not in use.

How to Secure Your TV with Bungee Cords

Securing your TV using bungee cords is simple and takes just a few minutes. Here’s how to do it:

1. Prepare Your TV and Mount: First, ensure that your TV is properly mounted on the ZeboZap DIY Gazebo TV Mount. Check that the straps are tight and the mount is correctly adjusted for your post’s shape and size.

2. Attach the Bungee Cords: Take two heavy-duty bungee cords and hook one end of each cord onto the TV’s bottom corners. Then, wrap the cords around the post or pillar where your TV is mounted.

3. Secure the Cords: Once wrapped around the post, hook the other ends of the bungee cords back onto the TV or another secure point on the mount. This creates a tensioned loop that holds the TV firmly against the post, reducing movement and potential damage from wind or other forces.

4. Test for Stability: After securing the bungee cords, gently push the TV to ensure it is tightly held in place. The cords should provide enough tension to prevent the TV from moving significantly.

The Benefits of Extra Security

By securing your outdoor TV with bungee cords, you add an extra layer of protection against unforeseen conditions. This simple, cost-effective measure ensures that your TV remains safe, prolonging its lifespan and saving you from potential repair or replacement costs.

Whether you’re enjoying a summer blockbuster or the big game, the ZeboZap DIY Gazebo TV Mount combined with bungee cord security gives you the confidence to fully enjoy your outdoor entertainment space without worry.
