Choosing the correct cupola size
Consider about 1 inch of cupola width for
every foot of unbroken rooine. If a roof
section measures 24 feet, the minimum
cupola size should be 24 inches square.
If a larger than 60 inch square cupola is
needed, perhaps use two cupolas on the
roof line – with one inch of cupola for every
foot of unbroken roof line.
Walpole cupolas are ideal for ventilating
a barn or garage and will keep most rain
water out. However, because some rain water may enter during driving storms,
we do not recommend cutting the roof for ventilation over a nished room.
Mounting weathervanes
When mounting weathervanes, we recommend all cupolas be drilled and caulked. We oer
weathervane mounting brackets for our cupolas – see our Weathervane page. To mount a
weathervane without a mounting bracket, drilling for the spire is required.
Measuring roof pitch
Our cupolas are designed for a roof pitch of up to 10" rise per foot (known as 10/12 pitch). Most
roofs are not steeper than this. To measure your roof pitch, use a carpenter's framing square as
shown in our illustration. Check square with a level and record the "rise."
If your roof is steeper than a 10/12 pitch, you will need an extended base. This must be ordered
with your initial cupola purchase. For assistance, visit our store near you or call 800-343-6948.
