Barn Lights for Your Cupola and Barnyard

12/14/2018

0 Comments

 
Whether it’s getting up before the sun to milk the cows or scrubbing stalls in the short winter evenings, farmers are often working in the dark. Barn lights not only provide ample light for farmers to complete their chores, they add cheer and warmth to the landscape of a farm. Whether you are looking to add barn lights to a cupola or barnyard, Valley Forge Cupolas has a beautiful selection of lanterns to brighten your farm.

Adding Light to a Barn Cupola

Placing cupolas on barns requires more considerations than when choosing a cupola for a home or shed. The large size and extended rooflines of barns require cupolas with larger proportions, and barns typically sport multiple cupolas in varying sizes. (You can learn more about choosing barn cupolas here.) In order to maintain proper visual proportions, you will want to choose a lantern that isn’t overshadowed by the cupola’s size.

Our Lexington and Old Colony lantern designs deliver a classic carriage house feel that is perfect for stables. At 24.5” and 20.5” high respectively, they can be easily seen within a barn cupola. Each lantern holds three lights for a brilliant rooftop glow.

Elegant, 19th century style is all the rage with our bronze lantern designs. The Surrey is reminiscent of classic lamplights, with its detailed frame measuring 26.5” high. The sweeping curves of the Lancaster’s glass cast a luminous glow over a wide area.

Brighten Your Barnyard with a Lantern Post

From loading up machinery to rounding up animals for the night, lighting up the area around your barn makes chores easier. Our lantern posts are built from Azek vinyl, a durable, maintenance-free material that can withstand the elements year after year without losing its looks. Unlike wood, Azek vinyl can resist mold, mildew, moisture damage, fading, scratching, and staining. With eight lantern post designs to choose from, you can find the perfect functional addition to your barnyard.

Lantern posts come in a variety of styles and accents, featuring boxed or raised panel bases, raised panels along the full length, and even copper accents. Our posts can also be customized with personalized signs in an assortment of color combinations. Mix and match lantern and post designs for a unique, one-of-a-kind look.

As the saying goes, sometimes less is more. If you don’t want to detract from the architectural beauty of your barn, keep your lantern posts simple with either a straight post or simple bottom trim. Lantern posts should always complement your barn’s design, not compete with it. If you are having trouble deciding on a post, our specialists are happy to help!
