Add Style and Personality to Your Home with a Weathervane

​Long before today’s complex meteorological technology, people watched for changes in the wind to predict the weather. While a weathervane’s purpose is simple – to determine the direction of the wind – they have a complex design. Weathervanes must be perfectly balanced on a rotating axis. They are also designed to have unequal areas: one side has a larger surface area to catch the wind. As the weathervane turns to reduce the force of wind along its surface, the end with the smallest surface area turns into the wind, indicating the wind direction.

Over time, weathervane design grew to reflect their owners’ interests, hobbies, etc., and still do today. While most of us check our smartphones for the weather, we can still enjoy the beauty and whimsy that weathervanes add to our home. And with such a wide variety of options to choose from, you can find a beautiful weathervane that perfectly fits your home and personality. Here are just a few of the lovely options you have to choose from:









​





​The Traditional Running Horse


In the mid-19th century, horse racing was the most popular sport in America, making racehorses the sports stars of their day. One of the most famous racehorses was Black Hawk, the subject of a popular Currier & Ives print. This print became the model for some of the most popular horse weathervanes. You can still capture their spirit today with one of our weathervanes.

Man’s Best Friend

Whether you breed dogs, enjoy hunting, or want to show your love for your loyal companion, our dog weathervanes will grace your roof or garden with faithful dignity and poise.

Birds of a Feather

Roosters have been a traditional weathervane design ever since the 9th century, when the Vatican decreed that every church should carry a rooster on their steeple or dome. They remain a popular design today, but why limit yourself to just one bird? We have quite the aviary, from graceful hummingbirds, to a flock of ducks, to majestic eagles in flight. We also have a replica dove of peace like the one gracing George Washington’s Mount Vernon estate.

Nautical Themes

If you live by the ocean, or just have a passion for the sea, our nautical weathervanes will bring the beauty of the deep sea to your roofline. We also have a collection of boat weathervanes that will have you longing to weigh anchor and set sail!

The Great Outdoors

Perfect for hunters, log cabins, and mountain getaways, our wild animal weathervanes capture the untamed spirit of these beautiful creatures. From majestic elk to sly foxes to howling wolves, we have the perfect creature to grace your roofline.

No matter the house design or personal aesthetic, we have a weathervane to suit every personality and decor style. Call us today at 866-400-1776 to find the weathervane that best captures your spirit and style!

We have had a busy season here at Valley Forge Cupolas, and we are delighted to have helped so many people find cupolas they love! For the last 15 years we have been bringing our customers’ dream cupolas to life. As the cupola specialists, we love sharing our expertise with our customers. We are here to answer any questions you have, from design to installation, so that we can maintain our goal of 100% customer satisfaction.

The Benefits of Choosing a Cupola

Cupolas are an American tradition that remain popular today. There are many benefits to adding a cupola to your roof, and we can create a custom cupola that will bring out the best characteristics of your home. Whether your prefer windows, louvers or a combination of the two, we have what you are looking for.

Photos from Some of Our Satisfied Customers

“Hi Bev and Rick: Sending you several photos of my pond house with your cupola and hummer weathervane. I love it! My guys did a good job...”

What better way to beat this summer’s crazy heat than by relaxing by the water!  This beautiful pond house is the perfect summer escape, made more lovely and functional by the addition of a cupola and weathervane. The louvers on the cupola add much needed ventilation, allowing hot air to escape rather than trapping it under the roof. The hummingbird weathervane adds a touch of whimsy, the perfect complement to this atmospheric setting

“It nearly killed me (only kidding but it was very hot and humid today) but the cupola is up. I am very pleased with the quality of the product. […] You were spectacular! Your immediate responses to inquiries was greatly appreciated. Feel free to give my email address to anyone requesting a reference. I promise a well deserved glowing report.” – Mark

What a great example of how a cupola can add beauty to any roofline! As you can see, the base of the cupola matches the siding and garage door beautifully, while the copper cap brings out the warm tones of the brick and roof. The windows add a cheerful touch, while still offering a view of the trees behind. Just think of how beautiful it will look with a backdrop of fall foliage! This cupola is topped off with one of our finials, adding a touch of European elegance and perfectly tying together the whole look.

We would love to add you to our long list of satisfied customers! So if you’re in the market for a cupola or weathervane, call the cupola specialists at 866-400-1776.

Adding Beauty to Boring Rooflines

Here is a picture from Linda, one of our many satisfied clients, of her beautiful new cupola:


























​​“Wanted to let you know that we love our new cupola and weathervane!  We're very happy with the size, and love the style of the Alexander with our carriage house.  Notice that we added a window box as well!  Thought you would enjoy seeing the "finished project".  Thanks again,”

Linda D.

The Alexander cupola is part of our signature series, which contains some of the most detailed and elegantly designed cupolas on the market today. This cupola really brings out the beauty of this carriage house. It has keystone accents to match the keystones on the windows and doors. The concave roof of the cupola complements the many lovely peaks of the roofline, drawing the eye up the building and accentuating the beautiful lines of the peaks. The louvers mimic the siding while the molding correlates with the pillars below. The beautiful copper roof goes perfectly with the rustic feel of the carriage house.

Choosing the Perfect Cupola for Your Gazebo

Gazebos are an excellent way to increase the flexibility and function of your yard, providing a shaded reading nook or cozy outdoor dining area. To get the most out of your gazebo, add one of our beautiful gazebo cupolas. These smaller cupolas are perfectly proportioned for an octagonal gazebo. There are several options to choose from, so how can you tell which one is right for your gazebo?

There are a few factors to consider when selecting a cupola for your gazebo:

  • Size of your gazebo – If you multiply your gazebo’s diameter by 1.25 or 1.5, you will get a general idea of what size cupola you should choose. I.e., if your gazebo is 12 feet in diameter, you will be looking for a cupola with an 18” base. If you’re not sure what size to choose, our Cupola Specialists can help you properly size your cupola.
  • Louvers or windows? – The midsection of your gazebo cupola can consist of louvers or windows, depending on your needs and desired aesthetic. Louvers allow heat to escape through the top of the gazebo and increase ventilation. Windows can be used to let in natural light, or to house a lantern or other decoration.
  • Roof style – Our octagonal gazebo cupolas offer concave, straight, or bell-shaped roofs in brilliant, durable copper. We also have a cedar cupola, complete with cedar shake roof. Choose a roof style that complements the overall design of your gazebo and surrounding structures.
  • Vinyl or wood? – Our cupolas are available in cedar or maintenance-free Azek vinyl. Both materials are durable and will last for years.
  • Top it off with a finial or weathervane – Our small weathervanes are perfectly sized to accent your gazebo cupola, or you could add a finial or arrow for a touch of European elegance. Weathervanes and finials help draw the eye and are the perfect finishing touch for your gazebo.

We also offer colored metal cupolas and wooden cupolas to complement your shed, pavilion, pole barn or other accent structure. Cupolas add beauty, style, and curb appeal, making them the perfect addition to any building.
