Only thing I had to buy was the self tapping screws all this galvanized pipe was water lines from the barn and house. I am thinking about maybe getting some pipe insulation to put on the pipes and wrapping it tightly with ducktape just to make it easier for the chickens to hold on. Our roosting "bar" is actually a 2 x 4 layed on its side. Our particular chickens don't grab the bar to perch. They set with open feet on the 3 1/2" wide board.
