How To Determine The Right Size Cupola For Your Building

1. First measure the length of the building on which you wish to install the cupola.

2. Second, substitute an inch for every measured foot of building length.

3. Third, find a size in column A in the table below that is closest to your roof's length in inches as determined in step 2, and order that size cupola.

For example, let's say your stable's roof measures about 41 feet. Substituting inches for feet, you should purchase a cupola with an "A" dimension of 42 inches.

The cupola sizing formula discussed above is considered the "rule of thumb" for sizing cupolas.

Please call our Sales Department to discuss sizes that are not shown in the table below.
