Two-screen tailgate TV stand
TekStandDuo set up at a tailgate
Read firstThe TekStandDuo carries two screens stacked on one pole, so the load sits high. Two people are required for every lift. Set up on level, firm ground and take both screens down whenever wind picks up.

Set it up

01

Pick your ground

Level, firm, and clear. Avoid slopes, soft sand, loose gravel, and mulch. On grass, press each foot down until it stops sinking. A stacked load is far less forgiving of soft or uneven ground.

02

Open the tripod base

Spread all three legs out fully until each one stops. Confirm every leg is locked before any weight goes on the stand.

03

Set your height

Loosen the height collar, raise the pole, then retighten fully and seat the safety pin. The range is 55" to 70" measured to the lower mount. Start low — the second screen stacks above the first, so the pair ends up much taller than the pole setting alone suggests. Never let the collar alone hold the height.

04

Bolt the arms to both TVs

Lay each TV face-down on something soft. Attach a pair of arms vertically to the back of each, hooks facing up, using screws from the hardware pack. Slide them along the hole column to match each TV, keeping both arms level on that panel. Put the heavier TV on the bottom to keep the load low.

05

Hang the lower screenTwo people

Always the bottom screen first. One person steadies the stand, one lifts. Drop both hooks over the lower crossbar, confirm they're fully seated, then hand-tighten the two thumb screws underneath before letting go.

06

Hang the upper screenTwo people

The highest and most awkward lift of the setup — don't rush it. One person holds the stand firmly at the pole while the other seats the hooks, then tighten the upper thumb screws the same way. Never hang the upper screen without the lower one mounted.

07

Level and test

The brackets are fixed, so aim by moving the stand rather than the screens — point the whole stand where your crowd is sitting. Then push gently at the top of the pole. Any rocking or leaning means a leg or lock isn't seated — fix it before you power on. Re-check after ten minutes; fasteners settle under load.

08

Route your power

Two screens means two cords. Bundle them down the pole and along one leg, never across the walking path. Use outdoor-rated cord and keep connections off wet ground.

Know your parts

Mounting arms and hardware bagMounting arms & hardware

Each screen gets its own pair of arms, so a full setup uses four arms and four thumb screws. Bags B2, C, D, and E hold the VESA screws, washers, and spacers. Each TV takes one screw size, and your two TVs may not take the same one — test-fit before driving any screw home. Check both TVs' VESA patterns first: the arms fit 75×75 up to 400×400 mm.

Two screens stacked on the poleStacked configuration

Both screens mount one above the other on the single pole, facing the same direction. Hang the lower screen first and put the heavier TV on the bottom so the weight stays as low as possible.

Pack it down

01

Upper screen comes off first

Take the top screen down before the bottom one, and both before you lower the pole or fold any leg. Removing the lower screen first leaves all the weight up high on an unsteady stand.

02

Lower, fold, wipe

Drop the pole to its lowest setting, fold the legs in, and wipe down before it goes back in the vehicle. Dry the hardware if it rained.

Safety

⚠ Warning

Tip-over and falling-object hazard. A falling screen can cause serious injury or death. Read all instructions before use.

  • The 100 lb limit is for both screens together, not each. Add the two TVs' weights and check the total against the spec table before mounting.
  • Mount the heavier screen on the bottom and hang the lower screen first. Never run the stand with only the upper screen mounted.
  • Stacked screens tip more easily than a single screen. The load sits high, so level, firm ground matters more, not less.
  • Never allow children to climb, hang on, or play near the stand. Keep children and pets clear during setup and takedown.
  • Take both screens down in wind, and never leave them up unattended or overnight. Two stacked screens are a tall sail on a narrow base — if the wind could move an empty camp chair, take them down.
  • Use on level, firm ground only. Never on slopes, soft sand, truck beds, or any moving surface.
  • Two people are required for every lift. Never attempt it alone.
  • All hooks seated and all four thumb screws tightened before releasing either screen. Hooks alone will not hold a TV.
  • Do not modify the stand or substitute hardware. Stop using it if any part is bent, cracked, or missing — contact us for replacements.
  • Keep cords out of walkways and off wet ground. Use outdoor-rated cords only.
