manufactured to be low maintenance.
Roofs
• Wooden roofs should be shingled or covered with metal prior to
installaon.
• Polished copper roofs will pana naturally over me. If you would like
to maintain the polished copper nish, you may spray the roof with a
metal-specic clear lacquer.
Wood Cupolas
• Wood cupolas should be primed and painted to protect the wood from
the elements. They should be repainted periodically to ensure the
wood connues to be protected.
Vinyl Cupolas
• Vinyl cupolas are designed to be maintenance free. You may clean
your cupola with a mild detergent. We do not recommend using harsh
chemicals.
• Vinyl cupolas may be painted with vinyl-specic paint to match the
look of your home.
Care and Maintenance
Required (Not Included) : Waterproof caulk, (4) 2 x 4” boards, (2) 1 x 3” boards, Pencil,
Tape Measure, Ulity Knife, Saw, Drill, Level, Addional 3” Screws
1. Determine your Roof Pitch.
As seen below, nail (2) 1 x 3” boards
together so they pivot. Straddle the roof
with each board as shown. We recommend
cung the ridge cap to ensure the cupola
will sit evenly on the roof ridge. Ensure that
each side is at against the roof and the
cross secon is centered and aligns with the
peak of your roof. Mark the boards with a
pencil. This becomes your cung template.

2. Mark the Cupola Base
Using a tape measure to determine the
center of the base, mark the center line
(top to boom) on two opposite sides
of the cupola base. Using the cung
template, draw a line from the boom
corners of the base to the center (see
le). This is your cung line. Start cuts
at the corners and end in the center.
