How to Hide Your Flat Screen TV with Stylish Sliding Panels

Pick two panels, and mount them to hang in front of the tv using the hardware and track of a sliding door.

Start by measuring the height of your panels. Measure from the top of your mantle to the ceiling, subtracting a few inches for clearance. Then measure how wide your tv is. Divide that measurement in two and add a couple of inches. That'll be the minimum width of each of your panels.

It's important you make sure your track is long enough to accommodate your panels when they're in the open position. The total length of track should be at least double the total width of your panels.

Now measure the depth of your tv and it's wall-mount bracket. Add an inch or so to give you a little breathing room. That measurement determines how far out from the wall you will mount the track to the ceiling. Mark your centerpoint, the depth you determined, and attach the track.

Attach the slider hardware to your panels and hang each panel on the track.

You can change this project up to fit your own style, and turn your panels into your own personal works of art.

We're sorry to hear that. If it's the look that you like, you can have the panels swing out instead of slide to the side. Thanks for visiting Lowe's on YouTube. Thanks! -Lowe's

We don't know of a way to use a remote control with this project & we do not have someone at Lowe's to build it. Please find the link to build the sliding panels in the description of this video. Thanks for visiting Lowe's on YouTube! - Lowe's

Hi, My ceiling is vaulted and at an angle... is there any way to work a wall mount?

Hi,

I was wondering what products I would need to purchase from lowes in order to create this and also do you know how to make it so the sliding panels are controlled by a remote control? Would I be able to hire someone from lowes to make this for me?

i like this idea but not the visible sliding bar...

I was expecting more information like a powered slice door or a mirror door... :/
