Take a few moments to review the information presented here to help you select the right cupola. Cupolas and Weathervanes make distinguished additions to homes or any other outdoor structure. Cupolas can be used for ventilation or a decorative accent. Most of our Cupolas are purchased as decorative accents.

A good rule of thumb in selecting the right size cupola is one and one quarter inch of cupola roof for every foot of unbroken roofline. The key is the unbroken roofline measurement.

For example: 1.25” of cupola roof x 24’ unbroken roof line = the minimum cupola roof of 30”. Our experience tells us this formula provides a balance between the cupola and the roof. If the cupola is too small it will look like a birdhouse. In fact, we recommend going one size larger, especially if there is significant height to the structure, or adjoining building.

All of our cupolas are “weathervane ready.” They do not require a roof mount or any additional hardware. All cupolas are made to fit up to a 10/12 pitch. If steeper, an extended base can be built.

Our cupolas are 100% handcrafted in the old world tradition of Amish craftsmen, using only the highest quality materials. We consider our cupolas to be the finest you can buy.
