4x8 Cupola
A cupola is a staple of traditional New England sugar shacks. We offer our 4×8 ready to assemble cupola as decorative or integrated. A simple decorative cupola is sure to enhance the look of your barn, shed, or outbuilding. Integrated cupolas are meant to be used in sugar shacks for maple syrup production, or as an architectural feature with windows to bring in natural light. Order uninsulated or with three or four season insulation.
A cupola can transform the identity of a building. From shed to sugar shack, the transition has never been easier. We offer several styles, with or without windows, to fit with the type of building you are ordering. We construct our cupolas with a rough sawn hemlock frame, pine board and batten siding, and a corrugated metal roof. If you would like to match your cupola roof to your building you may upgrade to a different metal roof color, or choose from asphalt shingles, Western red cedar shingles or shakes or ClearPoly panels.
Types of Cupolas
Decorative Cupolas sit on top of a roof, adding interest to the exterior of the building.
Integrated Cupolas sit over an actual opening in the roof — providing extra interior height, venting capabilities, or bringing in natural light.

These cupolas are ready-to-assemble. The cupola will not be pre-cut to match your buildings roofline. When you are attaching the cupola to your building you will need to cut the gable end panels to match your roof angle.
If you are ordering your cupola at the same time as one of our fully assembled buildings we will build the cupola to match your buildings roofline. We will also frame out the roof of your fully assembled building if you are ordering an integrated cupola. Our driver assembles the cupola on site, on the day of delivery.

4X8 Integrated Venting Cupola
Integrated cupolas are designed to sit on top of a roof that has a rough opening so you can see into the cupola. They can be ordered as an uninsulated shell with vents or windows, 3-season or 4-season. Our Sugar Shack designs come pre-cut with the rough opening cut out of the roof framing if you are looking for an easy solution. Otherwise it will be the customers responsibility to frame out the rough opening in other building styles. Integrated cupolas come with aluminum roof flashing to avoid leaks into the rough opening of the roof.
Vented Cupolas have hinged vents on the bearing walls that include a rope system for opening and closing them. If you are intending on using your building to produce maple syrup you will want a vented cupola. The vents allow steam to escape the building during the sap boiling process.
