Client: Edwards - 94" wide cupola, sides covered in aluminum, stainless steel screen, concave copper clad roof, a large Rooster style weathervane mounted. The roof construction is at least twice as strong a standard house construction with 13" centers, 3/4" plywood, high temp Water & Ice Shield underlayment, and 80 year 20oz copper cover sheeting. We called for a crane to lift this 600# cupola up over their 2 story house in Silverton, Oregon. This was installed 12/5/11 after spending over a month building it. ![]() ![]() . ![]()
Cost: $8,160

This was a custom classic Tuscany style cupola I made for a local client in Lake Oswego, Oregon. It is 4' wide at the base and the roof is 5' wide for a 6" eave. The roof is designed to the same 6/12 roof pitch as the gazebo we mounted it on. I covered it in 20oz copper. This cupola was built with 56 separate 2x4 boards that were angle cut, glued, and held together with screws. There are no nails. The eaves were made with 2x6 boards. There are 83 wood pieces to this cupola you see here. It is strong enough I am certain it could handle a full ton set on top of it. We also coveried their entire 11' wide gazebo roof with new plywood and 20oz copper after stripping off the rotten wood shakes. This shot below is a few months after completion showing the early tarnishing of the new copper roof. Cost: $7,500 complete installed (1/11)

Below is
links to some light duty cupolas that are made by the Amish community in
Pennsylvania. I am just a
retailer for these through Good Directions. Some assembly
and painting to match required. The copper covered roofs are just a
paper thin 12oz copper and dent easily. I can order these without the copper cover, in order to then cover the roofs with a decent 20oz copper in stead for better durability. If you want a finial/weathervane mount built into the roof that is also what I can help you with, so it will be a better weather tight mount that is built stronger to last. |

If you click on a picture of those you like, it will go to a page for a little better look and see the measurement options. If there is some you like, we can give you the current pricing. This is also to provide you with different style options to work from for a custom copper cupola that you may want me to build. I could build something like these as a custom copper unit for you, but it would probably need a wood structure inside for added support and would cost a good deal more and take longer. |
