How do we feel about the TV being recessed?! 😎 #outdoorliving

What happens here

Within the framed and finished recess, install a heavy-duty outdoor-rated TV mount. The recess is designed to conceal the mount, including potentially larger articulating mounts, allowing the TV to sit flush when retracted but extend and pivot when in use. Ensure the mount is securely fastened to the robust framing within the recess. Once the mount is in place, carefully lift and secure the outdoor TV onto the mount. Connect all power and media cables, routing them discreetly behind the TV and through the wall to maintain a clean appearance and protect them from the elements. Test the articulation and functionality of the mount and the TV to confirm optimal performance and viewing angles from various seating arrangements.

Goal: Mount the outdoor TV within the prepared recess, utilizing an articulating mount for flexible viewing angles, and connect all necessary power and media cables.
