What happens here

The outdoor TV is carefully mounted to the assembled VIVO TV lift. The lift is then operated to check the TV's lowest and highest positions relative to the planned console dimensions.

This necessitates creating additional wood panels to extend the overall console length.

Goal: The outdoor TV is temporarily mounted to the lift mechanism to confirm fit and identify any necessary adjustments to the console panel sizes.
