Details

From the UK`s leading bat box suppier this natural and attractive Bat Box will fit into any garden, woodland or house wall site. It is made from high quality durable timber providing longevity and excellent insulation. Bats need new habitats as many of their traditional roosts have been lost over recent years. The narrow entrance slot and strong timber help to discourage predators.

New properties and building works to existing buildings often require the provision of bat boxes/roosts.

Siting and Positioning:
Position this bat box on a builing or mature tree using the pre-drilled back plate hanger. It should be sited high up between 2.5m and 5m.

Q: Where can I put my new bat box?
A: The Natural Timber Bat Box is equally at home on a house wall as it is in a tree. Mount it at least 2m off the ground and ideally between 4m-6m. Directly under the eaves of a house or under a major bough of a mature tree.
Q: Should I site one bat box on its own?
A: Ideally, put up two or three boxes facing in different directions to provide a range of temperature conditions. ie boxes facing from south-east to south-west allow the sun to fall on each box for part of the day. During very hot days a south-facing box may overheat, but the other boxes should have some shade.
