Hi, I'm trying to mount a tv to a gazebo. The tv will weigh about 20 pounds and is about 42". I don't want to weaken the roof beams or drill too many holes. Any ideas for hardware or wood placement for this project? Here are some photos. I was thinking of some kind of coated garage utility/bike hook that would hang on the post, but I can't find a simple small hook with the proper bending. Also I thought about galvanized flat straps (looks like metal tape), but I would have to loosen the roof bolts and that is a pain to readjust with the rubber grommets in the channels if they slip down I would have to take the whole roof off to fix them. I thought about toggle bolts but the smallest ones that would fit in that hollow vertical bar that are an inch long and people say don't trust them with anything heavy...
