Check the pigeon supply houses:
http://www.pigeons.biz/forums/f25/pi...only-9455.html They'd be pretty easy to fabricate on your own if you have or have access to a table saw and some plywood. Some of the public libraries have tool lending departments, just a thought. fp

Forget the v perch, just get a 1x4 and cut some 2x4s to 5 inches and attach to the 1x4 and then place the strip where ever you like, these are absolutely the very best you can make and you'll save a bundle doing it yourself.!

Here's the link: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=phBgiYr63IE I don't have enough room to make a V perch, the way I see it as long as they are not too close to peck on each other is fine with me...They dont mind what are they standing on at night as long as they are on it...

I have to agree that the 2x4 perches are much better then the v ones and have had both
 the 2x4's are much easier to keep clean

You can also take off the corners really quickly and easily with a dremel. Use the sanding drum.

I agree use the 1x4 with 5" to 6" 2x4s spaces 12" on center. Makes a great perch that you do not have to clean. The V perches are difficult to clean. If you are short on funds this is the way to go. I use two nails and some wood glue to attach the perches. If you want you can use screws. I go back and put a wood screw in the middle. If you want cheap perches that you do not have to clean, these are the ones.
