The Good Directions White Vinyl Ridgefield Cupolas Good Directions, the #1 source of high-quality, exquisitely designed, functional copper accessories for home and garden, introduces the Ridgefield Cupolas to our customers. These traditional yet ornamental vinyl cupolas feature a Pagoda Style Copper Roof, a Window Paned Mid-Section, and a Vertical Smooth Vinyl Base. Although they can be used for ventilation, these distinctive cupolas are generally used for decorative purposes and add a charming architectural accent atop your roof. The Pagoda Style roof makes a great accent piece on homes or businesses with long sloping architectural lines. The Good Directions White Vinyl Ridgefield Cupolas: About the Roof The Copper Roof of the Ridgefield Cupola is both visually appealing and structurally sound. The roof is made from 16-ounce, 24-gauge unfinished copper, so the roof will patina beautifully over time. Supporting the copper roof, is a wooden base treated to withstand moisture, rotting, and insect damage. The Good Directions White Vinyl Ridgefield Cupolas: About the Mid-Section The mid-section of the Ridgefield vinyl cupolas features a Window Paned ventilation system. The mid-section is constructed of high quality PVC, which is more durable and rugged than natural wood, and virtually maintenance-free. As a bonus, the vinyl, if treated with vinyl primer first, can be painted to match the exterior of your home. The Good Directions White Vinyl Ridgefield Cupolas: About the Base The Vertical Smooth Vinyl Base of the Ridgefield Cupola offers simplicity and functionality. The base is designed to accept a 10/12 pitch (10 rise per foot). However if the roof pitch is steeper than a 10/12 pitch, you will need to order the available extension base. For example, up to a 12/12 roof pitch, 1 Extension Base is needed, while up to a 14/12 roof pitch, 2 Extension Bases are required. The product includes all instructions and hardware needed for easy installation. The Good Directions White Vinyl Ridgefield Cupolas: Attaching a Weathervane or Finial The Ridgefield Cupola is weathervane or finial ready. The top of the cupola has a hole, which can accept up to a 1 weathervane or finial post. Inside the roof, a bracket attaches the post to the cupola for additional fortification. The Good Directions White Vinyl Ridgefield Cupolas: What Size is Right for Your Home When selecting the right size Cupola for your home or business, there is a good rule of thumb to follow; use 1.5 inches of cupola for every foot of unbroken roofline. For example, if a roof section measures 24 feet, the minimum cupola size should be approximately 36 inches square. For a more dramatic effect, or if a cupola larger than 60 inches square is needed, consider using two cupolas on the roofline. Should you choose to use two cupolas, the rule of thumb changes to one (1) inch of cupola for every foot of unbroken roofline. For example, if a roof section measures 24 feet, the minimum size of each cupola should be approximately 24 inches square. These beautiful Ridgefield Cupolas come in the following sizes:
- 26 Sq x 39 H
- 30 Sq x 46 H
- 36 Sq x 53 H
