I had a skylight in a small barn I have on my property which had a branch go through one of the plastic bubble like skylights. I have been trying to find a replacement for it but can't find any that match.

It doesn't need to match the old one but everything I find is flat around the edges or pre-flashed. Anyone happen to know the name of what was previously on there where it has sides on it too?

Here is a picture of the skylight hole itself. The dimensions are
Inner - 21 inch 3/4 x 21 inch 3/4 Outer - 26 inch 1/8 x 26 inch 1/8

I found this after I posted, so I guess it is called Dome over Frame but can't seem to find any online.

That looks like an RV skylight. Maybe ask an RV dealership where you could find one with the correct dimensions?

It really looks like one of the ones on my Airstream. It's almost exactly the same size even. This company makes well-regarded replacements.

Totally it! On their measuring instructions page they even have a picture of an old one with the flange just like OPs
