About this product
The Build-in WoodStone® Bat Box has been specifically designed to fit into the cavity of house walls, with the entrance sitting flush with the outside bricks. It has been redesigned to match the standard brick size in the UK. Manufactured from hard-wearing woodstone® and plywood with removable wooden side panels so that several boxes can be placed side by side to create one large chamber, the Woodstone® Bat Box is a great choice for new-builds and renovations.
Woodstone® is a mixture of sawdust from FSC wood sources and concrete, and it is designed to last for years. It is breathable so there will be no problems with condensation and woodstone® maintains a consistent temperature inside, providing excellent insulation for roosting bats.
Thanks to the sloping entrance ramp, droppings will fall out of the box, creating a maintenance-free habitat for a variety of bat species. Position the box at least 2.5m above ground level and away from artificial light sources.

Successful uptake of this box

We have recommended and seen installed many examples of this box, although I have not had a lot of opportunity to monitor them. My colleague did however fit one in his extension which experienced uptake by a common pipistrelle in the first year following installation.
I think these represent great value for money and I have never had builders complaining that they are hard to fit. Although, I have seen them fitted upside down.....so don't do that.
