Need some load advice.

Want to hang a 32 in tv outside.

Weighs maybe 20 lbs.

House is clad/sided in brick.

Have a proper articulated mount for it.

So the question is, do I need to to make sure I get into studs behind the brick cladding or will lag bolts in the brick be enough to support it?

I'm under the impression that the brick holds up better under compression and not necessarily shear.

Bricks look like this.



TV going here.



Watcha guys think?
