Wooden Bat Houses for Outside Bat Box for Outdoors - Large Two Chamber Box Perfectly Designed to Attract Bats - Durable and Easy to Hang(Bat House Ⅱ Black)

Exactly as described-- will update once I install it. Looks like it will last, built well and plenty of room inside.

I have always liked bats, even as a very young child. We recently moved to a very rural area and have some very old trees, both living and not, and quite a lot of rocky ledges and areas that would easily support roosting bats. As it has started to warm up we are beginning to see some bats flying around our home, and I am very excited!! So when I saw the bat box available I knew I had to get one.It has roughened notches for the bats feet to grab onto while they are roosting, although I am considering putting a netting or mesh inside also to help the bats to hang on. The box is large enough to hold quite a few bats. I'd say the numbers would depend on the sizes of the bats that decide to roost in the box. I'm not sure if we have multiple species or not, but we have noticed a size difference in some of the bats.Unfortunately there were no instructions included, so we're going to have to look online to find out all of the ins and outs of placement of a bat box. Such as how high it should be, and the best place to put the bat box, how close or far it should be to trees, what direction it should face, etc....There is a small hanger on the back of the box, like you would find on a picture frame, but I don't think that will be very useful. An individual bat doesn't generally weigh all that much, but if you end up with a decent sized colony then the weight would be an issue I think. Plus the "hook" isn't attached in a fully upright position, and I don't think that would work well for hanging the box. There is a small hole at the bottom of the back piece of the box that could be used for a screw to help hold it up wherever it is placed, and that will no doubt help to secure the box when it is in place. I did see a small gap in the construction due to the pieces not being aligned properly. That could probably be corrected with a non-toxic sealant of some sort, I will look into that before we put the box up.Over all I like the box a lot. I will just make a couple of adjustments to make it as usable and as stable as possible. With any luck we will have residents in a year or two!I am including several photos, and between the photos and my review hopefully it will help others looking for a bat box. Be wellI will update my review once we get the box put up and we get some residents. I can't really speak for the durability and stability until then.The box is painted or stained black, which is one of the most recommended colors for a bat box. There are air vents/slits on the sides which are supposed to help with air circulation. There are some requirements as to how high to hang/post the box, what direction it should ideally face. Do they require shade or full sun? How close to tree lines, etc.... Unfortunately the box did not come with any instructions, which is quite disappointing, especially considering the specific needs. Granted, the information is available on line, but it would be so much easier to have that information with the bat box instead of having to look it up from various websites!

I've wanted my husband to make a bat house for years and we've just put other projects ahead of this one so when I saw this bat house I went for it. It smells so good -- I think it's made of cedar. The stain blends in really well to most trees. We read about how to properly place it and my husband got out his ladder and got it on the tree properly in about 5 minutes, so super easy to install. It's been up about 6 weeks and occasionally we go out to peak and see if there are bats.. none yet. If we don't get them in the next few months we will try another location. I just want bats to eat all the bugs!!!!

Disappointed.The good: The inside looks like a good home for bats. Rough, with good ventilation. Wood doesn't smell too strongly of whatever they used to finish it.The bad: Feels lightweight and cheap. I'm concerned it'll blow around a lot with wind and will weather quite poorly. Extremely soft wood. Poor finish, and mine came with a chip on one side. Very rough exterior (which is unnecessary to attract bats). It'll probably look ok from a distance, but seems "cheapish". Not worth anywhere near $40. More like $15-20. I'm only keeping it because it's a mother's day gift for Sunday.
