You could buy a single 9-volt wall charger and use a daisy chain cable like the one below to power your cables.

I drew the lines onto the wood with a pencil, then cut it with a regular handsaw. Fortunately, pine is easy to cut, especially if you remember to draw the saw teeth over a wax candle from time to time. Pedal boards are the kind of thing lots of people say they "could" build if they wanted to. But I'm not a carpenter and have no interest in developing that skill, so this worked out great. (My girlfriend, in fact, is a woodworker and industrial designer, and she was impressed with the board, and that's after telling me repeatedly she could build me one for next to no cost with wood from our garage.) One of the great aspects of West Coast Pedal Board is all the variety that their custom shop offers, with very customizable options that allow you to execute your vision for your pedalboard but have an expert builder take care of it and guide you along the way.

Pedal Pad’s materials include 9-ply, void-free, ½” Baltic Birch for the rim and ¼” for the top and bottom. They roll the entire case with adhesive and cover it with the standard Ozite-style carpet, which is common with speaker cabinets. The advantage to this design is that it can be angled for shows and then laid flat when you close the lid – which means that the overall case height does not need to be increased to accommodate the angle.
