Great video, i did something similar, i ran romex wire from my outside outlet through one of the hollow posts using hole saws and a fish tape and added a switch for a ceiling fan and an gfci outlet for any other electrical items. It hid the wires very well, all you see is the switch and outlet on the posts.

@PlantBasedDads 3 жыл бұрын
I HAD to paint those ugly conduits. Now, you dont even notice them because they are the same color as the rest of the black trim. You are not crazy, you have class and taste! Stick to your guns! So here is what I did. I laid out all the conduit AND the fittings and sprayed them all first. Then when I had to cut the long conduit pieces, they were already all black. Worked like a charm. Good luck. We are going to add gutters to it at some point.

I got it from home depot. There is some code here or something that says you cant use romex (the wire in the yellow binding) if you are putting it through a conduit. So, I purchased some wire off the "Cut to length" rolls at home depot by the foot. I got 50ft of it. It's the only 3 wire they have on the big rolls there. The guy from that aisle told me its the same wire as in the romex so ask the employee which one that is. It's a 3 wire black, white and green.

@PlantBasedDads 3 жыл бұрын
Hello. Yes that was absolutely and option. And yes, I didn't chose that options because I didn't want the lights to come on every time the fan was turned on. I also wanted to have an actual switch outside to turn the fan on and off with so we didn't pull on that chain each time. But yes, you could totally just plug it into the outlet I installed up in the rafters for the LED lights. Thanks so much for watching.

@PlantBasedDads 4 жыл бұрын
Hi PN. The junction box is to convert the wiring from the fan, which is just wire to an actual plug so I can plug it into the outdoor outlet on the house. When you buy the fan, it just has three wires coming off it. I extended those wires 25 feet to the junction box on the gazebo post near the patio door. Then from the junction box I converted it to the end of an outdoor extension cord so I could plug it in.
@MrCrippyBlunt 4 жыл бұрын
Plant Based Dads Thanks for the reply! So it’s not possible to convert the wiring from the switch into a plug? You wired the fan to the fan switch, then from the fan switch you took the wiring to the junction box, so it’s not possible to use the wiring from the fan switch and just turn it into the plug at that point vs having to create a junction box? I’m not questioning what you did, I’m just wondering if I could do the job without the junction box that way I don’t have to have two boxes mounted on the gazebo post.

It is a regular outdoor grey metal junction box that has 4 holes, 2 in the top and 2 in the bottom. I got all the parts I needed to make it work. It didnt come like that.

I put a weather seal and a cover on it and screwed it together. I just went to Home Depot and pieced it all together.

Hello. I did not sand anything or prime anything. I just painted them. Let's hope that doesn't come back to bite me later on.

The metal boxes could probably have used some primer first but I just didn't use it. You probably should use spray primer on the metal pieces that you are painting. Good luck.

Was the 12 inch down rod included or was it a separate purchase? What diameter? 1 inch or 3/4? I ordered the same fan but it doesn’t mention a down rod being included and I can’t find any info on the mfg website. Thanks

Hi Robert. It does come with a down road. But it's only a few inches. I had to buy the 12in one from Home Depot. I just took the one they gave me with the fan and compared it to the ones in the fan aisle at HD. It was pretty easy. They are all the same width. I got a 12inch and an 18inch. I ended up using the 12in because I felt the 18inch brought the fans down too far from the ceiling. Thanks so much for watching.

You put your gazebo exactly where I put mine, the problem is when it rains all that water is going to drop right in front of the sliding door. Do you have a video showing putting up gutters to stop the water?
@PlantBasedDads 3 жыл бұрын
It's Phoenix, It doesn't rain. It hasn't rained since we put that thing up in May. So, that is not really a concern for us here. We are going to put gutters on it though, so we can control where the water goes and get it to go into a barrel to water plants. When we do that, I'll do a video on it. Thanks so much for watching.

@PlantBasedDads 4 жыл бұрын
I believe its 12/2. It's the same wire thats in the yellow romex but we couldn't use the romex because its not meant for being inside conduit outside. So we purchased that 3 wire combo off the large rolls at Home Depot. You buy it by the feet. We got 50ft of it and it was way more than we needed.

Hi Joe. I bolted that ceiling fan box to the 3 beams above it before I mounted the ceiling fan. That box has screws going deep into the beams the long way so it will support any ceiling fan you can get from the store.

It is completely waterproof. There is no water coming into the patio. So we are pretty happy with it. All of the conduit is outside conduit anyway so its all sealed.
