One of the hottest design trends is repurposing old barn wood to make items for the home, from end tables and picture frames to coat racks and headboards. Weathered wood has a look and character that is almost impossible to manufacture. It’s no wonder, then, that people are also drawn to antique barn cupolas: they often have a unique look that is uncommon in modern cupola design.
However, if you are thinking of purchasing an antique cupola to place on your barn, you might be getting more than you bargained for. You may struggle to find a cupola that meets the specifications and requirements of your roof. Even if you find one, it might take a lot of work to make sure you can get a tight, secure, waterproof seal between it and your roof. You also can’t be certain what condition it is in: has it warped? Cracked? Developed leaks? Has its structural integrity been damaged?
Rather than rolling the dice on an antique barn cupola, why not make one of your own? At Valley Forge Cupolas, we can help you recreate the look of antique cupolas with our custom designs. Simply send us a picture of a cupola you like, and our Pennsylvania craftsmen can recreate it.
Custom cupolas also offer greater flexibility. If you are torn between two cupolas - you like the roof on one but the window design on the other - we can combine the features you like into one cupola. If you try to purchase an antique barn cupola, you may have to settle for “close enough” instead of perfect.

Our Cupolas Will Add Beauty and Charm to Your Barn
This classic red barn sports a 42” Morton cupola that has been painted to match. Our vinyl cupolas are easily painted, so if you wish to repaint your barn you don’t have to worry about a clashing cupola. Our copper is also available in a patina finish, to give it an aged, antique look.
Sometimes two is just better than one. This pair of 30” cedar board and batten cupolas anchor either end of this gorgeous barn. They blend seamlessly into the overall structure, while adding to its elegance. If your barn has a long roof, you may prefer multiple cupolas, and it can be nearly impossible to find matching antique barn cupolas.
You can’t have too much of a good thing. These 150’ barns sport multiple cupolas, ranging in size from 36”-48”. These are the Milford and Franklin style Sundance cupolas, our line of metal cupolas. Available in a variety of colors, these durable cupolas match almost all color combinations. They also come in a range of styles, heights and sizes.
