Safe and Warm Bat Shelter - Help preserve the bat population by installing an Applewood Outdoor Bat House on your home. Your new bat house has grooved narrow interiors for optimal heat retention and provides a safe haven for outdoor bats to roost and live comfortably. Solidly Built for the Outdoors - Our bat houses offer a sturdy and lasting home for your flying bat neighbors. Each bat house is made of North American-grown , black stained pine. This weather-resistant wood shelter can withstand harsh outdoor elements. Easy Installation - Setting up your bat house is effortless. Each pre built bat box for these furry flyers is pre-drilled with mounting holes and includes three 2 ½ inch screws. The kit also includes an instruction guide for installing the bat house on your house, a tree or a pole. Excellent Craftsmanship - All our bat house kits are handcrafted in our woodworking shop in the Upper Midwest. We use US-sourced full 3/4-inch thick lumber in our bat boxes for outside to ensure you get superior products built to last. Ideal Gift for Wildlife Enthusiasts - Whether it’s for Father’s Day, Christmas or any occasion, our wood bat houses make functional and earth-conscious gifts for nature lovers. Create a home for nature’s only remaining flying mammals! You may be concerned with the severe decline in bat population, or simply want to provide a safe and secure home for the furry flyers. Installing a bat house on your property will create a safe and lasting habitat for those little night time aerial acrobats. We proudly hand craft each shelter in our tiny woodworking shop in the Upper Midwest. Your pre-finished, high grade pine’s tight grain, and small knots minimize sap odor and ensure the structural stability necessary for harsh outdoor environments. Narrow interior dimensions ensure a cozy environment conducive to heat retention. Bat ecologists and conservationists recommend that bat shelters installed in most areas of the U.S. be painted or stained a dark color. Save yourself the time and trouble, choose a pre-finished bat shelter! Each bat house arrives at your door ready to install, there are pre-drilled mounting holes in the lower section, and a steel hanger installed on the back. We include 3- 2 ½ inch exterior grade deck screws and instructions for mounting on your house, a tree, or a free-standing pole.
