Cupolas for Your Garden

Cupolas, those ornamental structures that sit on the rooftops of buildings, can be as large as a room or very small. Most often they are small additions to suburban homes. They add a historic touch to a structure and larger ones are often found on government buildings. They can also be added to a garden gazebo.
A pre-made cupola designed to be attached to your roof can be bought in a kit. You may have to do some work on your roof, however, to attach the structure. Depending on the size of the cupola and the quality of the kit, the amount of work required ranges from moderate to extensive. Some cupola kits make installation fairly simple, and it often requires no more than a day’s work. Still, it takes some know-how and skill with standard tools.
Cupolas with Weathervanes or Finials
If you’re thinking of installing a cupola on your roof, you might also consider whether you would want to attach a weathervane or finial to your cupola. Some of the more expensive cupola kits give you this option. Either one can be the crowing touch to your cupola. You would want to attach it before you complete installation of the cupola.
