Q:I'm confused, the listing on the Home Depot page clearly says it has a copper roof. But down in the Q&A it says the roof is wood. Which is it?

Answer This Question

A:  Hello, thanks for your question. This cupola has a copper roof. There is a wood underbody that adds structure/stability to the roof. Call 800 852 3002 with any more questions.

    Answer This Question

    A:  Hello, either cupola would work for this type of roof. Just be sure to account for the roof seams and design work into the cupola base cut. Please call/text 800 852 3002 for further assistance. Thank you.

      Q:I already have the roof and weather vane (copper). The base of the copper roof is 30x30 sq. What size of wood cupola I should buy, so I can install my roof/weather vane on top of it?

      Answer This Question

      A:  Hello Maria, Thank you for your recent inquiry about the Kent 30 in. x 40 in. Wood Cupola. The base of your copper roof should fit the top of the cupola. You would need a 30" x 30" cupola. Here is another tip; when calculating the size of your cupola, use our steadfast builder's rule of thumb: 1.5 in. of cupola width for every foot of unbroken roofline. Thank you for shopping Home Depot. We appreciate your business and look forward to serving you in the future.

      Q:The materials are specified as cypress, but the base is clearly pine. Is the photo accurate? or is the base actually cypress? It makes a huge difference because pine will rot very quickly especially if it is in contact with the roof. Please clarify.

      Good value
      There is no way I would build this myself given the price. Well made and good fit. I bought their weathervane to go with it.

      The little cupola is very sturdy and well made. My only complaint is that the unit pictured is not the smallest unit. The louvers int he smallest one are not milled, but are fairly thick dimensional lumber which leaves much less room for ventilation, which was part of its intended use on our smoke-shed. It does hold the copper windvane I made and the copper roof I added very nicely, and is heavy enough that it will last. Add a star if a decorative use is all you have it in mind for. ONe important note, especially if you decide that you want it for ventilation, the wooden cleats you cut to add as anchor points to the roof must be ripped to a slight vertical angle on the outside faces, to match the slant of the sides in order to create a tight fit. A rectanglular cross-section cleat will stand out away from the bottom if this isn't done, or pull up from the roof.

      An ok product but has a lack of quality control
      Just received my Cupola and unpack it. The base is not square to where you attach it to the middle section, so I will have to do some cutting to make it fit together. The top where it attaches to the middle section is about 1/2" larger in the length and width so that will have to be shimmed to make it a tight enough fit to screw it together. 3 of the mitered cuts to make the sides have air gaps, several staples and a screw missed the mark in in assembly. For something that was made all at the same time, they have some quality control issues. Now If it was square with clean cuts, the general total product seem strong and I will make it work.

      Cupola
      Well made, easy to assemble, looks great. Highly recommended if you want to ad some interest to a shed or barn. Can be made functional or decorative.

      The cupola was better than expected. The vents were of stronger quality wood. We easily added insect screen to the inside. We easily added a wood extension to the bottom because we had a deeper roof pitch. Copper roof is nicely done. We are receiving compliments about it, adds interest to our shed.
