Appreciate you showing us what you did. The black conduit looks real good.
Thanks for this. I have a 12’X16’ Yardistry gazebo and didn’t want to make a plate in the crossbeam struts. After I get the chance to move my gazebo over and purchase another one I’ll definitely install one in this area.
The ceiling fan is a lovely finishing touch to the gazebo. Great work!
Thanks so much.
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.
Nice job!
Helll yeah, excellent job. I like the way you painted the conduit 👍 nice touch. I will definitely add one to my gazebo..
Thank you champ 👍😊🙏😋
Outstanding job. It looks great. Nice attention to detail.
Awesome vids and Thank You for being Plant Based Dads
Thanks so much for watching. Plant on!
Looks rad!! Gonna add one. About to finish my build on the Yardestry. Thanks or the idea!
I have a Video on my DIY channel about how I added a privacy wall to this gazebo. The other channel is called DIY Project Guys. Check It out
Your gazebo is definitely coming together and looking fantastic you got your lights in now your beautiful ceiling fan I love the look of a ceiling fan it’s very Tommy Bahama looking
I know, right? I loves me some Tommy Bahama!! I can see myself having that Pina Colada cake out there!
Wonderful job. Very nice video. Fellow DIY'er appreciates your detailed install.
Thank you very much!
You are very handy man .
I did purchase a different fan with a remote control
Adding an additional outlet next to the fan along with a TV from Costco of course love Costco lol
My electrician is going to do it not me
Very clean..nicely done 👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼
Nice job!!! I just picked up an outdoor ceiling fan for mine and I’m going to do the same thing.
That is awesome. I really believe painting the conduits black gave it a finished touch. Email me if you want a parts list and photos of all the different steps. Plantbaseddads@gmail.com. Also, check out my new DIY channel where we are doing all future DIY videos. I just uploaded a video there on how I built a privacy wall on this gazebo. It came out amazing.

I'm a beginner at diy. Can you tell me everything I need to buy. I need to run electricity to my gazebo too. Thank you
Excellent job. Thanks!
Great job. Thanks for the idea.
Very helpful video! I just bought a 12x14 yardistry today at Costco and this fan looks like a perfect match!
Good job - looks great!
Thanks!
Nice job guys.
Very Helpful. Thank you.
Great job!
Thanks Isaac. I also have a video where I built the gazebo and added lights to it. Check those out too. I just saw that Costco has these gazebos back in stock now. Thanks so much for watching.
Thanks, I was trying to figure out 1)Could it be done with my gazebo and 2) How in the heck how? Like the paint for the conduit.
Awesome!
Great job
Thanks so much for watching.
Nice work! Does the wiring for the fan terminate at an outlet box? Than you had a male plug to a male plug for the back porch outlet? Thanks.
Love it! my SO thinks I'm crazy for wanting colour matched things like the conduit. (It looks so much more harmonious that way) Now I will be relaxed in the hot tub in the pavillion, not noticing that the conduit pipes are miss matched to the hardware.
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.
@@PlantBasedDads did you paint the electrical boxes as well? I have a covered deck I built and running into the same issue wanting everything to be black to match. I can't believe they don't make them in black to purchase, but haven't found it anywhere.
@@brandonhardegree5050 Yes, I had to paint every part of the electrical because nothing came in flat black. It was annoying but the final product was amazing
Great work! I just sent you a DM for the shopping list. Thanks.
Great video, can you please share the parts list (Mostly the round metal box you install to the wooden patio roof)
I have a metal frame gazebo, where the wood studs are. How do I install the box?
Thanks for sharing! It looks great! I have the same Gazebo. I am looking at a 42 in. ceiling fan. Is that the right size? What size did you go with?
Can you provide a link for the ceiling fan mounting box? I have hard time to find the same one you used. Thanks.
Can I install an outside kitchen under the yardistry gazebo? is there any problem with the grill? just looking for advise
Do you have a video of installing the electrical component
Great Video. Please share the part list for this project. I plan to do exactly the same.
I purchased a ceiling fan from Lowes. Any suggestions on how to install. I am trying to figure out what type of bracket to buy. The ceiling fan has a hook (shaped like a question mark)
How did you create the plug junction box?
Looks fantastic! Planning on purchasing the same fan, did the fan come with the 12" extension rod or was that purchased elsewhere?
Hey Sir what is that plug adapter called? The one plugged into the gfci?
Do you have a shopping list for the parts you need? Number and type gof elbows, switches, boxes etc assuming I want to replicate your build exactly?
Can you list all the items needed to install from ceiling to outlet
What did you use to paint the conduit
Weird, I have the exact same fan (and gazebo) but mine only came with a 6 inch down rod. Guess I’ll need to put in a cross brace and forgo the down rod.
What size screws did you use? As big as possible?
Good job.
Thanks so much Mary. I think painting the conduits black really made it look like it was originally there.
Definitely looks super good-especially with the conduits painted! (Did you spray paint or use a brush?)
Can you send me the link of the wiring conduit and the junction boxes and the wall plug cover
12” down rod seems to be a perfect fit. Even on high speed, the fan doesn’t angle near the posts?
Hello. That was my fear, that it would shake and hit the cross beams. But no, It's not really as close to the beams as it appears. I actually purchased the 18inch download and installed that first, bit I felt it came down too far into the patio area, so we opted for the 12inch. It works great. Thanks so much for watching.
What’s in your junction box?
Greta job Looks really good I just wish you wouldve shown more info on wiring especially conversion from j box to outdoor plug
I had another person ask me that too. I sent him photos of all that. Send this to me in email and i'll send you what I sent to him. It shows how the conversion is made for the junction box. plantbaseddads@gmail.com
@@PlantBasedDads hi, I'm interested in the wiring set up as well. Can you send me those pics too. Going to email you now. Thanks for the videos on the this Gazebo. We just completed ours last weekend and your videos have been a huge help!
@@J-Thomas So glad to hear that. We love our gazebo. Cant wait to finally be able to use it when the heat is gone here in Phoenix. We finished it just as the hot weather started.
Hi @@PlantBasedDads …just sent you an email requesting those instructions for the conversion and parts list and photos. Really appreciate the video and the help. Excited to take this on. Thanks in advance for the email help.
Hello, I'm interested in the photo instructions for the junction box conversation. Sending email now. Thank you in advance
Not sure if you’ve had any issues with wind, but one consideration might be to add a stabilizer between the braces and then you’re less susceptible to side winds knocking those blades into the braces.
Hi Eric. I'll keep an eye out and do that if I have an issues. So far, there have been no issues with wind. Thanks so much for watching.
Great video! Right where the round metal box for the fan was installed there is a rod that holds the top cap in place. How did you deal with that?
Hello. The rods are on either side of the fan, not where the round metal box is. There is nothing under the round metal box but 2x4s.
Perfect videos for what i am going to do! Question, how did u bend the conduit? Or did u purchase them with them bent already?
Jerry, I purchased "El's" from home depot that are already bent. it is just like plumbing pipe and fixtures.
Could you have plugged the fan and the lights in the same box? Granted, the switch would turn them both on, but that's an option you could have done right?
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.
Any updates on the effectiveness of the fan? Does it really cool you off during the hot months. I have the same gazebos and looking into installing a fan as well
Hi Michael. I dont know know that it does that much. We dont really go outside during June-September. But during the rest of the year. its does blow a light breeze down for sure. I love the look of it. If you email me at plantbaseddads@gmail.com ill send you all the photos and parts pictures of all the wiring. Also, we are uploading DIY content on our new DIY only channel called 'DIY Project Guys Channel". So head over there and subscribe for future Gazebo videos. We just uploaded a video on that channel about building a privacy wall on our gazebo. Check that one out. Its really beautiful..
ua-cam.com/video/uDQlHJJhbxU/v-deo.html
You did an amazing job! Where is the black conduit and wiring from?
I spray painted all of the conduit and connectors with black spray paint
How did you get the rain caps over the joints between the roof panels that are closest to the house? Being they are supposed to slide on from end and slide upwards. I have not figured out how to get those on mine.
That was the one thing I really want to film but the battery died during that whole piece of it. I had to watch the Yardistry Helpful Hints video on UA-cam. It talked about bending the one side of the ridge cap open, clamping it onto the roof panels, and bending it back into shape. Thats what we did and that worked. Thanks so much for watching.
Loved your videos!! I know your cooking now but any updates on Yardistry Grand gazebo?
Hello. All our DIY videos are now on DIY PROJECT GUYS. We did video on there where we added a privacy wall on the gazebo. It came out amazing. Check it out
WOW! Awsome job, I’m basically following everything you did. Building the privacy wall later on but for now I have the lights installed, bought the fan, conduits ect. Just wonder what type of wiring did you use(link)?
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.
Thhn wire is used in conduit
12/3
Can you please put a list on this page on what kind of wire, the box right before the plug please? Thank you
email me at DIYprojectguys@Gmail.com if you haven't already and ill send you all the photos and links to parts that I have for this project.
Cant seem to find that metal ceiling fan base box, where did you get yours ?
Home Depot. It is just a round ceiling fan box. This is the one I got:

What is the junction box for? I want to do this same thing to my gazebo and I am trying to understand why the fan plug can’t come out of the fan switch box straight to the outlet versus having to add a junction box. Excellent work by the way!
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.
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.
Anyone have any suggestions for how to paint the conduit black? We've purchased gray flexible conduit, even roughed it up a little, but are still having issues getting the black paint to stick. Any ideas would be awesome! Thanks.
Try some black duct tape around it
Did you not install or remove those cross beams? I want to install a fan but my Yardistry has two beams that will be in the way unless I put the fan blades lower than them with an extension.
The 12 inch download on the fan clears those beams so it is not an issue. I purchased a 12 inch and an 18 inch down road jut to make sure I was all set
What is the lower junction box called/where did you get it? I can’t find what to call one you run wires to that then turns into a plug for an outlet.
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 ran the conduit up from the top of one of the holes to the switch above it and then the plug from the outlet on the house to one of the holes in conduit below it and tied them together in the box. 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.
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.
Do you have a shopping list for the parts you need? Number and type of elbows, switches, boxes etc assuming I want to replicate your build exactly?
Send me an email at diyprojectguys@gmail.com and I will send you a parts list with all the links.
Maybe good idea to black magic marker your screws?
Great video, just installed the exact Gazebo from Costco myself. Do you have a diagram of the wiring of the junction box and the switch?
I don't have a diagram, sorry. I used to have a parts list I sent out but my email crashed and i lost all that. I really just went to Home Depot and pieced it all out
Thanks for sharing! What size conduit did you use?
1/2 inch electrical conduit. I paint it black first in the garage and then installed it all. Thanks so much for watching.
@@PlantBasedDads
Another response you said 3/4" conduit, but said 1/2" here.
Looks great guys. Does it send much of the heat from the steel roof back down at ya?
We have not noticed that so far.
What size conduit did you use? It looks like 3/4. I was going to do 1/2 but not sure it is big enough.
Yes, it is a 3/4 conduit that I painted black. You are. right, 1/2 was not big enough.
@@PlantBasedDads Thanks you did an outstanding job. It looks so professional. I will be doing the same thing.
Hi, what did you paint the pvc pipes and junction boxes black with?
Hello. I used spray paint from Hope Depot. I just did a flat black to match the trim on the gazebo. I used high heat spray paint because of how hot it gets here in Phoenix. I had to lay all the pieces out on tables in the garage and then spray them all. Then I had to turn them all over and spray the other sides of them. It was annoying, but it really looked great when it was finished.
@@PlantBasedDads Thank you! A couple of questions. Did you sand the pvc pipes first for adhesion or use any kind of primer? Do you remember the make or exactly which spray can you used from Home Depot? Thank you!
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 paint was actually a primer/paint in one can, but I didn't buy it for that reason. Here is a link to the paint I used. I needed 3 cans for the whole project.
www.homedepot.com/p/Rust-Oleum-Universal-11-oz-All-Surface-Satin-Black-Spray-Paint-and-Primer-in-One-342511/307244963
The conduit was already a flat grey so it really doesn't need primer. 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.
Hey - great job!! This looks awesome. I bought this same gazebo from Costco and am trying to do the same thing!
What kind of paint did you use to paint the conduit pipes?
It was just flat black paint from the cheap spray section at home depot
You should add a shot at night with the lights on
I think I do have that in the String Lights video. Thanks so much for watching.
You did an excellent job! I'm copying your design now. My gazebo is about 36" away from the house where there's an GFCI outlet. My question is where did you get that flex cable to connect from that junction box to the receptable? much appreciate it!
I live across the street from Home Depot so I go there for everything.
@@PlantBasedDads do you happen to have the flex cable connector SKU number? and price? thanks in advance!
This is the one I used. This one is 6feet. They make other lengths too.

@@PlantBasedDads a link would be the best...again, thanks!
That is a link, Just copy it all into your browser starting with Http all the way till the end of it. If that doesn't work, email me at plantbaseddads@gmail.com and ill send you the link in email along with all of the parts I got and photos of all the steps. I have already sent that out to people so Ill just forward it to you too.
I have the same gazebo and a fan that is very similar to this fan. My only hesitation is, It seems to me, that the fan would just be pushing all the hot air that collects at the top of the gazebo, downward.
Just saw another video where he wasn't getting much air flow, so he switched the down rod to 18 inches. Now it moves the air.
I really just use it to have the fan move the air around. I doesn't actually cool anything down.
Where did you get that box the fab mounts to?
Sean , I got it from Home Depot. Send me an email to diyprojectguys@gmail.com and ill send you a parts list. I am getting back home from vacation on 6/16. Thanks.
What kind of paint did you use to paint the PVC conduit?
I used black krylon spray paint.
Where u get the 12 in. Down rod???
Lowes. They had other sizes also but that one fit the best. 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?
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
I live in California, I know about no rain. But still, when it goes though, I don't want it 6 inches from my back slider. Thx PBD
You could add gutters right under your rooflines
@@xscooterbuttx
Yes, I tracked some down from home depot. Thx Stacie.
@@xscooterbuttx I will be adding them in the fall too, Just waiting for the temperature to drop below 90 degrees.

Yes, I send out a parts list and photos. Email me at DIYProjectGuys@gmail.com and i'll forward all that to you.
@@PlantBasedDads I just emailed ya for the parts list. Thanks guys!
What kind of wiring did you use?
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.
Sweet good job!
Hi. instead of conduit, you could have easily used Tech-cable.
This conduit had the look that I wanted so went with hit. It was cheap and easy to install. Thanks so much for watching.
I have the same project. Hows the yardistry’s water proofing for that roof? Im afraid rain water could get in that conduit.
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.
Where can i get down rod ?
They sell them in the ceiling fan section and Lowes and Home Depot. They come in different sizes. I got the 12". The smaller ones were too small. Get a minimum of 12"
What wire gauge did you use?
whatever the standard is. It was a few years ago. I just got the stuff off the roll at Home Depot. They said I couldn't use the yellow romex in conduit.
Hi is Joe again. What was your max weight for the fan? Thanks!
J
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.
@@PlantBasedDads Joey, By the way, the install was very clean and professional. I liked the way you used the conduit and am looking at the liquidtight flexible non-metallic PVC. Its flexible but. I will have to paint it since its grey - lol
Yeah it was annoying to paint it but that grey was just too ugly. Thanks for the kind words. I wanted it to look nice since I will be out there 9 months of the year.
@@PlantBasedDads 9 months - curious where in the US you are located?
I am in Phoenix AZ
Is it 18 inches vertically?
Hi Lam, The downrod I used for the can is 12inches vertically from the ceiling. It's a 12 inch downrod. Is that what you are asking?
✅💜✅
FYI, this fan moves little or NO AIR. Looks nice !! Not very practical for its purpose.
Great job. Do you think you could run the conduit down the center of the post (I believe these are hollow). Thoughts?
Steve, yes you could. That is a really good idea if you don't want to see the conduit. They are hollow for sure. Thanks so much for watching.
@@andrewrus6879 How did it come out? Were you able to measure the hollow height?
@@andrewrus6879 We are debating on running wires through the hollow portion. But after showing my wife this video, she said she doesn't mind the black pipe.
@@andrewrus6879 If you want to post a video, I'm sure it will help a lot of people! And it might convince me too, LOL
@@andrewrus6879 We ended up running pipe on the outside, but it turned out good.
