 eBay Cupolas: Price Isn’t Everything

11/17/2016

There's a world of difference between purchasing a cupola on eBay or other auction sites versus buying from the cupola professionals.
Picture
If there’s one thing people can’t pass up, it’s a good deal. We’re constantly looking to save a buck, but “deals” often backfire on us - hence the phrase, “You get what you pay for.” Some homeowners turn to the Internet when shopping for a cupola. However, there is a world of difference between purchasing a cupola on eBay or other auction sites versus buying from the cupola professionals at Valley Forge Cupola and Weathervanes:
  • -Pricing - People often shop for cupolas on eBay because they think they are getting a deal. They forget, however, that these are auction sites, which means the price varies greatly and you never know if you are getting a good deal or paying an arm and a leg. At Valley Forge Cupolas and Weathervanes, our cupolas are priced reasonably, plus we are almost always running a sale on one of our designs.
  • -Quality - When purchasing through a third-party vendor, there is no guarantee on craftsmanship or the quality of the materials. At Valley Forge Cupolas, we use only high-quality, long-lasting materials such as copper, Western Red Cedar, and maintenance-free Azek vinyl.
  • -Customization - ebay cupolas are one-size-fits-all, with no guarantee they will actually complement complement your home. We can customize every aspect of your cupola, from materials and accents to style and sizing. We have dozens of beautiful designs to choose from, and can easily craft a custom design just for you.
  • -Customer service - The customer service offered by online auction sites varies greatly and is often subpar. We pride ourselves on putting our customers first: we are always available to address customers’ needs and concerns, working with you on every step of the process. We also guarantee 100% satisfaction and one of the best return policies in the business.
  • -Expertise - We have been building custom cupolas for over 15 years, and we love sharing our knowledge with our customers. We can answer all your cupola questions, including how to properly install your cupola.
  • -Custom Digital Quotes - We are the only cupola company to offer Custom Digital Quotes, allowing you to know exactly how your cupola will look once installed. With cupolas from eBay, there is no guarantee a cupola will look the same in person as it does in the picture.

Ventilating Your Chicken Coop with a Cupola

11/10/2016

Keep your chickens healthy this winter with a chicken coop cupola from Valley Forge Cupolas and Weathervanes. 
Picture
​Chickens are fairly hearty creatures, but insufficient ventilation in their coop can quickly lead to serious and deadly health complications. Moisture and ammonia fumes can lead to respiratory illnesses that can devastate your flock.

Moisture

​Chickens expel an astonishing amount of moisture both in their breath and their droppings. Chickens do not technically urinate; instead, the water they ingest is excreted through their droppings, making their manure 75-80% moisture. Moist air holds germs and viruses which can lead to serious respiratory ailments. Sufficient ventilation is key in preventing respiratory disease and keeping your flock healthy.
 
Moisture is more noticeable in the summer, with the heated odor and humid air. However, in the winter many chicken owners forget to worry about moisture because the coop feels dry when the weather is cold. However, cold air has its own problems: because cold air can’t hold moisture, the damp stays near the floor and doesn’t travel out the vents with the air. This damp air can lead to frostbite on your chickens’ combs.

Ammonia

​Their droppings represent an additional problem: as the manure breaks down, ammonia fumes are released. Inhaling these fumes can cause respiratory distress and damage, even at relatively low levels. If you can smell ammonia near the coop floor, there’s enough to be harmful. Good ventilation is key in removing those fumes from the coop.

Chicken Coop Cupolas Provide Year-Round Ventilation

​During colder months, not only is the air inefficient at carrying out moisture, but people often make the mistake of closing off vents to keep the coop warmer. Poor coop design can make it necessary for vents and/or windows to be closed during inclement weather. Your coop must have ventilation that can stay open, even during the worst storms and below-freezing temperatures.
 
In can be tricky to maintain this balance, which is why most barns have cupolas on their coops: they’re perfectly designed for year-round ventilation. Louvered cupolas work to pull air up and out. This allows hot, humid air to escape during the summer and keeps air circulating in the winter.
 
Chicken coop cupolas are the perfect ventilation during cold weather: being set in the roof keeps drafts from affecting your chickens. Their caps and louvers also help keep rain and snow from entering your coop.

Maintain Proper Ventilation in Your Coop with a Cupola from Valley Forge Cupolas and Weathervanes

​Keep your chickens healthy this winter with a chicken coop cupola from Valley Forge Cupolas and Weathervanes. They are both functional and beautiful, as well as easy to install. We also offer a variety of rooster weathervanes for a lovely, thematic touch.

Cupola Installation for Businesses - Our Latest Project!

11/4/2016

Read about our commercial cupola installation on this beautiful shopping center!
Picture
November is here, and the holiday shopping season is just around the corner. As a business owner, you’re always looking for new ways to draw attention to your business in the bustle of Black Friday. Why not follow the lead of this local shopping center and install a beautiful and decorative cupola to help your business stand out?

You’re probably familiar with cupolas as an accent to homes, garages and barns, but they can also add an elegant architectural element to your business premises that will draw the attention of potential customers.

They are also very easy to install, as you can see in this short video. The cupola arrives in three sections - base, midsection, and cap - and we assemble the midsection on site. A crane then hoists the three sections to the roof, where our craftsmen complete the assembly and installation.

The cupola in the video is 78” wide and 216” high with a distinctive octagonal design. The midsection is composed of alternating solid panels and paned windows. The cap is an eye-catching, bell-shaped copper dome with dentil molding around its base. These accents were chosen to complement the brick siding of the building and its dentil pattern along the corners.
​

Not only do we offer a wide variety of pre-made cupolas, we also offer custom cupolas that can be easily designed and customized to match your business’ decor and architecture. While cupolas themselves are beautiful, they can be taken to another level with decorations, such as a themed weathervane. And just think how pretty and eye-catching a cupola would look trimmed with Christmas lights or a holiday wreath!
