Customer Reviews for Good Directions Manchester 30 in. x 40 in. Wood Cupola with Copper Roof

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.

The cupola was packaged very well and arrived in perfect condition. It is easy to paint and assemble. (I assembled ours on the ground, dismantled and re assembled on our garage roof. Mounting was easy with 2 people. It all fit together correctly, the 1st time. Re-assembly and install took 1.5 hrs.

The mitered corner trim is already coming apart.

Easy assembly. Looks good I’m my roof !!!! Thanks guys !!

as soon as i got it onto the sun it began to come apart. I had to do a lot of gluing and calking

Not at all like the picture....buyer beware! The base is basically a box made out of plywood, the middle section does not have the fancy corners, it’s just a bunch of wood nailed together—with a few splits in the wood! The roof nails missed the corner joices inside and are showing. Im returning.

High quality item with great installation instructions. Easy to install. Well packaged.

This cupola is very well made and I am looking forward to it being installed on my shed roof.

This cupola was well made with premium materials. It was packaged well and pick up at HD special order worked out ok. Cupola had to be removed from shipping pallet to fit in my truck but HD people helped get it off pallet and in my truck. painting and installation went smoothly. Fully satisfied

The cupola is beautifully made but I installed it on a garden shed with a steel roof. Getting it mounted properly turned out to be a challenge - mainly dealing with the roof cap. And it was a challenge to adapt the weather vane I already had on the building to the cupola. But it looks very nice.

Would have preferred this to be all pvc instead of wood

product was very well made and easy to install--love it

Ordered the cupola on line, to be picked up at the store. First arrived damaged and HD returned it and reordered immediately. Second one arrived in good shape. Shipping to the store is cheaper and easier for quality control. I highly recommend it. The cupola is everything advertised. I have painted it, which I expected. Have yet to put it on the garage roof. Waiting for cooler temperatures.

Good quality wood. Top portion fits rather loose but otherwise, fit and finish is good. Use small diameter finishing nails to attach the top portion to avoid splitting the wood. You will need a hand saw or jigsaw to cut bottom portion as circular saw won't fit. Copper roof is beautiful.

Top of cupola was not stated it was supposed to be all wood, but after talking to customers service the top was the underneath part for the copper one, would have taken more time to get a new one, due to. My roofer coming within 2 days I did recurve a 40 credit and I fix it myself Also staples and nails sticking out

Far to much $, cant believe I paid that much for this.

This is a well-made product and a good value. It was very easy to install.

Note that this item comes in 3 sections, packed together, almost 300 lbs! The delivery co. did not have an elevator on the truck, so we slid the pallet onto my pickup truck. If you don't have a pickup, take the thing apart; the parts can be lifted by 2 people. The cupola comes cross-braced with hardware for mounting a weathervane. My contractor cut several inches off the base, since we thought it would look too tall for our 25x40 garage. He installed screening on the louvers to keep out insects. This cupola is smaller than specified (by the formula) for our roofline, but it looks great!

I recently purchased(ordered on line) this cupola for my roof after a wind storm removed and severly damaged my old one. On receipt I painted the three pieces with a high quality primer/sealer latex paint and placed it assembled outside awaiting my carpenter. After one rain the bottom section(plywood) began to warp and split apart. The mitered corners on the middle section began to seperate to a gap on the corner of approx. 1/8 of an inch. For a product to be used on a rooftop in all weather I was gravely disappointed. The good part of the whole experience-my local Home Depot took the cupola back and credited my account, no questions asked.
