Round vs Square roost?

Me too though I used 2 x 3s with the short side up because they fit perfectly in the chainlink. The perches did eventually develop an arch (um er... sag)

to them over a couple of years. When I do my next ones I am going to do 2 x 4s flat with support underneath so it doesnt sag. I am bridging 6 feet with mine.

I like a 2x4 with the wide side up and the edges gently rounded. In a cold climate, having the wide side up helps them keep their toes covered, to keep them warmer.
