Gazebos have enjoyed steady popularity for decades because they are extremely versatile and greatly increase the useability of your yard. Not only do they provide a 360° view of your yard or garden and increase your property values, gazebos can be used for: 

  • Cooking and outdoor dining
  • Entertaining
  • Hot tubs
  • Play area
  • Poolside retreat
  • And so much more!

Gazebos offer shelter from sudden summer showers, provide shade while enjoying your garden, and are a cozy place to gather with friends. As backyard ceremonies increase in popularity, gazebos are also being used for weddings and receptions! Octagon gazebo cupolas help you get even more use out of these functional structures by adding ventilation or lighting to the center of the roof. If you like to cook under your gazebo or want to install a fire pit, louver cupolas allow warm air and smoke to escape rather than building up under the roof. Window cupolas let natural light in, brightening up your cupola and providing ample light for entertaining or reading.

What are Octagon Gazebo Cupolas Made From?

The most common gazebo materials are wood and vinyl - the same materials we use for our octagon gazebo cupolas! Wood gazebos have a rustic look that is always at place in the outdoors and are typically less expensive than vinyl gazebos. They do require periodic maintenance in the form of sealing or painting, while vinyl gazebos only need to be hosed down occasionally. Vinyl is attractive and can offer a more elegant look or be matched to the vinyl siding on your house, but vinyl gazebos do tend to be more expensive.

Our octagon gazebo cupolas can be built from either Azek vinyl or Western Red cedar to match your gazebo. Azek vinyl doesn’t yellow or fade and resists moisture, mold, mildew, stains, scratches and dents. Unlike wood, it is not susceptible to damage from insects or rot, and never needs to be stained or sanded. (But it can be easily painted to match your home should you so desire.)

Western Red cedar is naturally resistant to moisture, rot, decay and insect attacks. It doesn’t shrink, swell, warp or crack like other lumbar, even under severe changes in temperature and humidity. It’s natural beauty means it can be left unfinished, but its durability is greatly increased through regular applications of sealer or paint. Western Red Cedar is pitch- and resin-free, so it can accept and hold a variety of colors and finishes.

 Our octagon gazebo cupolas designs offer arched windows or louvers and bell-shaped or concave roofs. Available in a variety of sizes, our cupolas can fit gazebos up to 38’ in diameter. For smaller gazebos (roughly 15’-17’ in diameter) we have louver octagon gazebo cupolas in both Azek vinyl and Western Red Cedar. These cupolas feature a slight arch over the louvers and either a combination of vinyl with copper roofing or a completely cedar design. Not sure what size cupola your gazebo needs? The rule of thumb is to multiply 1.25 by the diameter of your gazebo (in feet). For example, a 17’ diameter gazebo will need roughly a 21” wide cupola. Depending on the height of your gazebo, you may need to multiply by 1.5. 

Not sure what size cupola you need? Our experts can help you choose the perfect cupola for your gazebo. Call us today at 866-400-1776 and order your octagon gazebo cupola today!
