Unusual Stud Spacing
I am trying to mount a frame tv in my apartment and am losing my mind with some of these studs. The mount provided by the manufacturer does not fit my layout so I’m going to mount on plywood backboard. However, the studs I want to mount on are 32 inches apart. I swear I have checked with a stud finder and pushed a nail through between these studs to try and find the one that should be in the middle, but the wall is hollow.
I asked ChatGPT (I know I know) and it said I shouldn’t use the studs that are 32 inches apart because the large gap between studs indicates a break in structural consistency. I am 99% certain that the wall between the two studs is completely hollow. Any help would be appreciated as I’ve been losing my mind on this all day.
