Cedar Wood: Why We Love This Cupola Material

In a time of constant invention, it seems like the next big thing is always just around the corner. Cupola building material is no different, with chemical compounds like PVC providing quality construction and maintenance free longevity that’s hard to beat. And yet the market for wooden cupolas continues to thrive. With a beautiful natural aesthetic and the versatility of easily handling stain, paint or varnish, it’s easy to see why we love this cupola material!

Western Red Cedar
Picture
All of our wood cupolas are constructed out of high-quality western red cedar, a breathtakingly beautiful building material that’s certain to satisfy. But beauty isn’t the only advantage of western red cedar. This well-loved wood is famous for its durability, boasting a natural resilience against rot, mold and insect infestation. Studies have also shown that cedar is a true friend to the environment, helping to remove harmful greenhouse gasses from the atmosphere. 

Perfectly Personalized
When it comes to creating a cupola that’s truly unique, a wood cupola base is the best place to start. Western red cedar contains no pitch or resin, making it an ultra-absorbent dream for anyone interested in personalizing their cupolas with stain, varnish, and other wood finishes. Whether you’re hoping to match other buildings on your property or just create a customized masterpiece, a wood cupola is the choice for you!

The Beautiful Board & Batten
Picture
Board and batten was a functional hallmark of colonial houses, essential for covering cracks between siding planks and protecting early domiciles from harsh weather. Though entirely stylistic now, it’s hard to deny the beauty of board and batten. Why not spruce up your wood cupola with a board and batten base, imbuing it with a distinctive rustic style all its own?

Cedar Wood Cupolas: Best Served With A Weathervane

Though a solitary cupola is more than enough to revolutionize your roofline with style to spare, any cupola is infinitely improved by a weathervane. At Valley Forge Cupolas, we have a wide variety of fun, functional weathervanes; surefire sidekicks for your new wood cupola! ​

My personal favorite is Coastal Western Red Cedar boards. I love the tight, sound knots. I've found them extremely resistant to knot fall-out or split ends. A can't-miss purchase.
