75-Inch TV Mounted Above Stone Fireplace in Suwanee, GA

A Suwanee, GA homeowner wanted their 75-inch television above a natural stone fireplace but needed the ability to lower it for comfortable eye-level viewing. A MantelMount pull-down system was the ideal solution, and a power outlet was installed behind the TV to keep the cord hidden at both raised and lowered positions.

The MantelMount was anchored to the stone fireplace surround using heavy-duty masonry anchors drilled into the natural stone. The TV's resting position centers it at 58 inches from the floor above the stone mantel, while the pull-down action lowers it to approximately 42 inches—directly at seated eye level. Heat clearance was verified with a minimum 7-inch gap from the mantel shelf.

A rotary hammer drill with diamond-tipped bits was used to bore into the natural stone, targeting solid stone faces for maximum anchor strength. Concrete wedge anchors were torqued to MantelMount specifications. The pull-down mechanism was tested through its full range of motion with the 75-inch TV attached. A recessed power outlet was installed behind the TV's upper resting position, with wiring routed behind the stone to the nearest circuit.

The Suwanee homeowner can now pull their 75-inch TV down to eye level for comfortable watching, then push it back above the stone fireplace when finished. The MantelMount eliminates neck strain from elevated viewing, and the hidden power outlet keeps the stone surround pristine. The masonry-grade anchoring provides absolute confidence in the mount's stability.
