Ideas on other ways to cover those posts would be welcome. I'm positive I'll have to make adjustments once I see how the newbies react to their new digs, but for now I'm pretty pleased.

Yes, I do know there are stupid nails in the roosting bars. I've been trying to figure out how to get them out, but they're in very deeply on the other side of the 2x4. The previous owners of this property didn't think some things through....*sigh*

I would screw the posts (2x2s or pieces of shipping stays from the garbage bin at a lumber store) to wood set on the insides. The wood being a little higher than the metal.

I had nails I couldn't pull out of a massive shipping box thing. I drilled down beside the nail in a few places with a fairly small drill bit, knocked it sideways a few times from different sides, then they pulled out with a wonder bar. They can be drilled out by drilling down the nail also but then you get matel shavings. I would rather have the extra holes since they didn't matter for strength or looks for my purposes.
