How to choose the right size cupola. A good rule of thumb for selecting the right size cupola is to multiply 1.25 times every foot of unbroken roofline -- the key is the unbroken roofline measurement. When we say unbroken roof line what we mean is that there are no major objects (like a chimney) or hips or dips in the ridge line of the roof.
As you search the web to find the perfect cupola for your garage, shed or barn, youll see that many retailers use the same formula to help you find the correct size. Its easy to remember: for each foot of length of the main ridge of your building, a cupola should be at least one inch wide at its base. The base dimension is usually how cupolas are sized and sold. So, using the formula, a garage with a 24 ridge should have a cupola thats 24 wide, or larger, at its base.
