This cedar cupola is the perfect finishing touch for the 12 ft. cedar octagon gazebo. Bronze-colored metal roof is included, as well as hardware to install.
- Overall: 28'' H x 20'' W x 20'' D
Although the cupola ended up looking nice on gazebo, it wasn’t without a lot of improvising. First, it came unfinished with mold in the wood in one section, so I had to spray that area with a bleach mixture. The mold never completely lifted, so I stained and sealed it thoroughly with hopes that process would provide coverage and protection from further damage. To give it some gloss and further protection, I used polyurethane. Meanwhile, there was a horizontal slat crooked and coming loose and I had to force it back in place, hoping the seal would act as a kind of adhesive. Once we began to install the cupola on the roof, it began to come apart near the bottom. The contractor pointed this out and used a screw to keep it together. You may see the screws in the pictures provided. Overall, it came out looking pretty good, but I would say for others to buy this type ornament somewhere local, in person so they can see the wood and test its durability.. Annette.
