Know before you buy

The cupola arrives in sections and requires assembly. It is crafted using CNC technology for precise fitment and includes all necessary heavy-duty hardware to make the process straightforward.
Yes, the structure is built for durability with reinforced rafters and 18-gauge heavy-duty staples. When properly installed, it is designed to hold up against typical weather conditions.
