I've done ours indoors but I am too chicken to try on the lanai

My husband mounted ours on lanai. I think you just make sure to hit a stud with your screws, same as in the house.

The vinyl siding has wood sheathing and wood 2X4's behind it. I just removed all the siding on my lanai when I changed out the sliders with French Doors. Easy to remove the siding. Start at the top. You would probably only have to remove a couple of pieces. I have the tool to start the removal but didn't need it.

Go for it! Good luck.

If you have any questions, I'd be glad to answer them. I've done more than a few vinyl lanai display installations.

As a matter of fact you did my TV mount on vinyl siding with no problem and it's still hanging strong...thanks!!

All the advice about is great.

My tip is to use 3/8 x 3/8 tubing as a spacer between the siding and the bracket. When positioned correctly, this prevents "crushing" the siding when the bracket is secured. It takes a little work - cut the tubing to length and drill holes through opposite sides for the bolts.

Because of the wood sheeting behind the siding, I didn't attempt to hit wall studs. In fact, I avoided them. I used toggle bolts through the bracket, spacer and sheeting.

Hi, just a thought, it may be you could have metal studds on that wall. Also the vinyl of course has no strength.

A suggestion,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,, Look up Tim Cox as a handyman, he is good,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,, very good.
