The steps above are for installing a cupola as an ornamental piece only. If you are going to be using your cupola as a functional air vent, you will need to take additional steps - including cutting the proper size hole in your roof, adding screening or mesh, and caulking with a silicone sealant.

It is also recommended that you use an all weather screening on the inside of the
 louvered section to keep bees, hornets, and other insects out!
