Our Favorite Cupolas on Larger Homes

Nothing quite matches the aesthetic beauty of a cupola on a larger home. But larger homes create unique challenges when it comes to choosing a cupola. Long unbroken stretches of roof can require more than one cupola, while multiple rooflines can make placing and sizing a cupola tricky. At Valley Forge Cupolas, you can rely on our cupola specialists’ years of knowledge and experience to help you choose the perfect cupola combination for your larger home. We evaluate your home’s unique characteristics and design a one-of-a-kind cupola that meets your exact needs. Just look at some of the cupolas we’ve created for larger homes:
Picture
When it comes to sizing a cupola, the general rule of thumb is 1.25” of cupola for every foot of unbroken roof ridge line. This means a 24’ roof would have a cupola with a minimum 30” base. However, for extremely long roofs, adjustments must be made. According to the rule of thumb, this 71’ roof should have a 88” cupola, but that would completely overwhelm this single-story home. Instead, a 48” central cupola with two matching 36” cupolas on either end complements the length of the house and adds beauty to the whole roofline without being overwhelming.
Picture
This stunning renovated barn is also too long for a single central cupola. Instead, the homeowners chose twin 42” Ellsworth style cupolas to grace either end of their house. The straight roof of the Ellsworth cupola matches the pitch of the barn roof, while the twin windows mirror the windows below. The homeowners also chose to add louvers to the cupolas, adding both light and ventilation to their attic space.
Picture
This photo is the perfect example of how a cupola on a larger home can highlight and emphasize specific features of the home rather than starring as the main focal point. This CNC window cupola (our most popular model) ties in perfectly with the multiple windows of this lovely home. Its height matches the peak of the opposite roof line, pulling them together, while the addition of a cupola lantern causes it to blend seamlessly with the rest of the outdoor lighting.

Each home is unique, and your cupola should be, too. We make sure our cupolas are perfectly sized to your home, and we can even create a digital building quote so that you can see exactly how your new cupola will look once it’s installed. All of our cupolas are built in the USA by skilled Pennsylvania craftsmen using only the highest-quality materials.

If you are looking for a cupola that captures the look and feel of traditional designs, why not choose a six-sided cupola? Hexagonal cupolas can be found on some of the oldest buildings in America, where they are often paired with a dome or belfry. The beauty of six-sided cupolas is that they can be incorporated into any architectural style and not look out of place. Whether you need a cupola for your home, garage, or business, our six-sided cupolas are sure to please!

Six-Sided Cupolas Offer a Wide Range of Styles

Picture

One of our most elegant six-sided cupola designs, the Custom K-Series cupola is available with either louvers or windows. It also features custom molding, concave roof, corner base trim, extended drip rails, and beautiful copper accents. Ranging from 28” to 84” widths, this cupola can be mounted on everything from a standard 2-car garage to a large industrial building. ​
Picture
Picture
The windows of our six-sided cupolas can be either single paned or feature six to eight panes of glass. The single pane window is perfect for showcasing one of our beautiful cupola lanterns. Our six-sided cupolas also offer a variety of roof designs, including the straight and elongated straight roofs shown here in copper and aluminum.

Six-sided cupolas can be as simple or extravagant as you desire! Our Hexagon with Louvers cupola is the perfect way to increase the ventilation of a small garage or your attic while adding understated beauty to your roofline. The Custom D-Series Platform cupola features a four-sided vinyl platform that gives it a Victorian or Queen Anne feel, adding a traditional elegance to your home.

Cupolas are the perfect finishing touch for every type of garage, from detached to standard 2-car garages to extra large garages that can store boats and RVs. And of course, nothing completes a cupola like a weathervane! Garage cupolas with weathervanes are extremely popular because they add function and beauty to any size or style home.

Garage cupolas add much-needed
ventilation, helping prevent the buildup of odors and fumes from trash cans and chemicals, reducing heat and humidity in the summer, and venting carbon monoxide. Cupolas that combine windows and louvers have the added benefit of natural sunlight, brightening your garage and reducing the need for fluorescent lighting.


​Our garage cupolas can be customized to match any architectural style. From custom molding and copper drip rails to prairie style windows and star-shaped louvers, we can bring your design dreams to life. Made from high-quality materials such as Azek vinyl and Western Red Cedar, our cupolas will add beauty to your roofline for decades to come!

Our Customers Love Their Garage Cupolas with Weathervanes

“Professional, knowledgeable and a pleasure to work with! Prompt delivery and outstanding quality. Very responsive to questions and follow-up. Will recommend to friends and family. Well done Rick and Beverly!!” - Nancy & Jim S.
Picture
“Fantastic experience with Beverly. She was very responsive and helpful. Cupola looks fantastic and it was shipped earlier than expected! Highly recommend.” - Nazario P.
Picture
“We are extremely happy with our new cupola and weathervane.  Beverly patiently answered many questions over a long period of time.  We coordinated the addition of the cupola with a new cedar shake roof and Beverly helped us pick the right size and style for our home.  We ended up with a 36 inch Ellsworth in cedar with a copper roof.  They also had the best price around.  The roofer/carpenter who installed it for us was very impressed with the quality.  I rigged solar lights inside which gives it a beautiful warm glow at night.  We highly recommend them.” - Mark F.
Picture
“We had a great experience with Valley Forge Cupolas. I searched the internet far and wide and this company was by far the best. They helped me pick the perfect size (I would've gone much smaller) and their prices were competitive. High quality cupola. We would absolutely recommend this company.” - Luke S.

The right barn roof decoration can change a humdrum barn into a work of art. Whether you have a traditional barn, stable, chicken coop, or pole barn, our custom cupolas and copper weathervanes can add style and flair to your barn. Built from high-quality materials - such as Azek vinyl, Western Red Cedar, painted steel, and 24 gauge copper - our cupolas and weathervanes can withstand time and Mother Nature for decades without losing their charm and beauty. Take a look at some of our finished projects:

Barn Roof Decorations from Valley Forge Cupolas

Picture
This beautiful 65’ barn features three matching Hartford style cupolas. The arched double louvers provide plenty of ventilation and the concave copper roofs complement the slope of the barn roof. In order to get a balanced look on this long barn, the customers chose a 48” center cupola flanked by 32” cupolas on either side.
Picture
These customers loved the traditional “red barn” look. Our Azek vinyl cupolas not only offer long-lasting beauty with minimal maintenance, they can be easily painted to match your barn. The copper roof really pops against the red, and the window panes of the cupola perfectly mirror the multiple windows on the barn.
Picture
This 30’ barn features multiple roofs and gorgeous natural wood. The 36” Carlisle window cupola adds another layer of beauty to this barn as well as plenty of natural sunlight. A polished copper duck weathervane is the perfect finishing touch to this barn.
Picture
This magnificent barn features our most popular cupola, the CNC window style. This simple yet elegant design perfectly complements any architectural style and comes in a wide range of sizes. Three 28” cupolas are the proper proportions for this 50’ roof.
Picture
Even commercial barns need beautiful roof decorations! We can create custom cupolas to meet any size and design specifications, as we did for the renowned Highlander Training Center in Sulphur Springs, TX (pictured above). Over the course of several months we designed, built, delivered and installed seven cupolas to the customer’s exact specifications. Each cupola has both windows and louvers to provide both natural sunlight and plenty of ventilation to the training arena and horse stalls.
Picture

Another popular barn roof decoration is the traditional weathervane. For centuries farmers have used weathervanes to predict the weather and add a personalized flair to their barns. Our adorable Hen & Chick Weathervane is perfect for chicken coops, featuring a mother hen with four chicks perched on the directionals. We also have a brand new Horse and Colt Weathervane that is the perfect size for large stables or barns. This weathervane is available in black aluminum and polished or verdigris copper. ​
