Jay, do they have to be placed horizontal or can they be set up at the pitch I need? 

I would need 9 of of them.  Any way of finding out the cost of shipping them?

They're nothing but some re-bar and angle iron......  :-\

Do I need to give you the sizes too?  ::)

Sizes would be nice but the challenge is having the scrap steel to make them :( 

I shifted gears and have made the firt one out of wood, which I have plenty of.  I hope to have all the rest done next week when my help arives ;D
