What wood is the best for outside roof cupola? The cupola will be painted white.

1--Treated pine. Leave it outdoors a month or so before painting.

2--Cypress

3--Redwood or Eastern red cedar.

Just my opinion


And aluminum nails or SS screws.
Years ago I would have used Douglas Fir.
Today I'd likely use cedar. I hate PT wood for ANYTHING.

Might even be tempted to do it with vinyl and not need to paint it.
