1. A mounting system for fastening an accessory to a wall, the system comprising:
a support structure configured for mounting an accessory thereto, the support structure comprising a perimeter frame formed by a plurality of side elements each including a vertical portion and a horizontal portion;
a force-distributing plate configured to be positioned against an outer surface of the wall, the force-distributing plate interspersed between the wall and a rear side element of the plurality of side elements which is configured for fastening to the wall, the force-distributing plate creating a gap between the rear side element and the outer surface of the wall;
a cover configured to cover at least a portion of the gap, the cover having a first rear face and a second rear face offset from the first rear face;
a fastener that extends through the cover, the rear side element, and the force-distributing plate, the fastener being configured to fasten the cover, the rear side element, and the force-distributing plate to the wall in stacked relationship;
wherein the first rear face of the cover contacts the rear side element in an installed position, and the second rear face of the cover contacts the outer surface of the wall in the installed position.
