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. And finally, we’d like to thank you for supporting our small business and US manufacturing! We believe you’ll be thoroughly satisfied with your purchase.
