Customer Reviews for Good Directions Coventry 18 in. x 24 in. Wood Cupola with Copper Roof

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.

good quality for low price

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.

I've been looking fofoffra cupola for my garden shed for years, and this one is just the right size!

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.

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.

Excellent in all respects!

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.

Very nicely built, and really pops after painted! Looks awesome on my garage with the weathervane I had purchased to go with it.

Outstanding product quality. Delivery was much earlier than initially scheduled. Local store clerks were very helpful with pick up process. Very satisfied!

Exactly what I wanted Very east to assemble

Not quite the quality I expected.For that much money it fell short.

Great cupola to replace my mother’s old cupola. Built well and sturdy! Would definitely recommend.

The description stated that the lumber used was cypress - a rot resistant wood, but the base is made from non rot resistant plywood. The vented portion of the cupula is much smaller than the 18" base. My low rating is solely due to the inaccurate or incomplete description. Construction quality is good.

Product was exactly what we expected. Delivery time was good. Would recommend to others. Built solid. We painted it and shingled the roof ourselves.

It is beautiful. Exactly what we wanted.

The cupola was perfect for my shed.

Worth the time I had to wait for the carpenter. I put a clear sealer on it and our dolphins are on top. It looks perfect.

Lots of sizes to choose from, great workmanship and easy to pick-up in the store.

This looks so good on my garage with my weathervane. Have gotten so many compliments. I highly recommend.

We had to make many adjustments. The base corners were open approximately 1/8th inch. We glued, clamped and screwed them together. The copper roof had several dents which we were able to work out. The weathervane mount was 5.5 inches too low to accept the weathervane, which was from same company

Sturdy, well built. Very nice little cupola.(I am using it on an 8'X10' shed.) I am currently looking for just the right weathervane to top it.

The Manchester is a great product! I have recommended this to many people.
