| The main idea behind selecting the right size cupola for your
structure is to remember the Roof Line Rule. In the Roof Line
Rule, you want to pick 1-1/4” of Cupola base for every
foot of unbroken roof line on your structure. The thing to remember
is the word “unbroken”.
Take for instance, if the measurement of your rooftop is 30’,
than a measurement of 37-1/2” for your base would be
acceptable. Experience shows that this rule creates a far more
aesthetically pleasing cupola on any building. Although the
larger the Cupola, the higher the price; if a Cupola is to
small it is very unattractive. We recommend going one to two
sizes bigger if your able to, especially if your roof has significant
height.
At Guide to Cupolas.com we have you in mind we construct our
cupolas. All of our Cupolas come fabricated specifically for
easy installation of weathervanes. That means no roof mounts
or any additional hardware. Just a hand saw, screwdriver and
some silicone caulk.
