The word Cupola (pronounced cu’-puh-luh) comes from the Latin translation meaning “little cupo” or "little dome". Sometimes described as a “roof over a hole in the roof”, a cupola was originally used for ventilation, but is now primarily decorative. This cupola is made of vinyl and finished off with shingles to match your structure. It adds the finishing touch to your backyard getaway. Cupolas are standard on all of our Octagon structures, and are optional with Oval and Rectangular styles. All cupolas are screened on Octagon structures.
