Finding the Correct Cupola Size

A good formula to use when choosing your cupola is to use:  1.5 inches of cupola for every foot of unbroken roofline. For instance if a portion of the roof measures 24 feet, then the minimum amount of cupola size would be 36 inches square

For a more dynamic look or if you need a cupola larger than 60" square, try using two cupolas on the roof top.  If using more than one cupola on same roofline, use the formula: 1 inch of cupola for every foot of unbroken roofline.  See picture ---->

For example, this roofline measures 24 feet and the minimum required cupola size would be 24 inches square.

This chart shows the size relationship of the Cupolas in either wood or vinyl.  This is just a helpful aid when determining size
