You can purchase cupolas that are made of solid vinyl and have a pure copper roof. This material is more durable than wood and is more substantial than PVC. The best thing about solid vinyl cupolas is that they are virtually maintenance free. The high quality vinyl construction makes them extremely durable even in harsh climates. They will be unaffected by humidity' salt air or wet conditions.

Cupolas are a small dome like structures that you can install on your home to give it a distinctive look. They also look good on sheds and gazebos and will give your home added curb appeal. High quality cupolas' such as Fypon cupolas are made of durable PVC and have a cooper roofing. They are available with venting and non venting center sections. You have the choice between octagonal and square based. Most of these types of cupolas are not weathervane ready but you can easily make a hole in them to accommodate it.

You can also use more than one cupola to achieve the look you are after. You also want to make sure that the cupolas are the right size so they look proportionate to the building you are putting them on.

I have 12x12 gazebo purchased from home depot.Was woundering if i can use wood post instead of poles in box.?

Bought gazebo for back yard.Would rather use wood post instead of weak poles that came with gazebo is it possible.If yes how would i go about putting it up with wood post?

I see you have no answers yet, probably because we would assume a gazebo kit would come with wood posts and not poles. Anyway, I will try to help you with the info you have provided. First follow the layout dimensions in the kit, now substitute your 4"x4" treated posts for the poles keeping them in the same layout. Now level them all at the same height, cut a short piece of the poles provided and secure them to the (leveled) tops of 4"x4". Since I can't see these poles/posts I assume you can come up with a method to do this. Make sure you fasten post to poles in a secure manner. Now you have to finish the install. The top portion of the gazebo doesn't realize that it is being fastened to a short pole vs. long full length pole-so this should work. If in fact you have a octagon shaped tent instead of a gazebo, you might take it back and get what you want. Otherwise I think this will work if you secure everything in a tight manne. Good Luck

I am guessing you got a relatively cheap tent-style thing, with metal poles for legs and the roof frame. Probably metal or plastic multi-connectors around the roof. If you go through the trouble of using wood posts, you'll basically need to rebuild the entire frame out of wood. This can be done, but the angles are certainly tricky. In short, it will be a lot of work, and if you are good, you'll end up with a nice frame underneath a mediocre canopy. If I were you, I'd stick with the metal poles, or return it for something more substantial.
