External ready-made & integrated bat boxes

External ready-made bat boxes

There are a number of ready-made external bat boxes suitable for buildings and trees that can be purchased. These boxes can be wooden, however there are an increasing number of more durable options, such as Greenwood's Ecohabitats ecostyrocrete bat box shown below.

Integrated bat boxes

Integrated bat boxes can be matched and built into the walls and facade of a building, for instance Green&Blue's Bat Block shown below and in our Roost Partnership. They have the advantage of offering a secure, permanent space for bats with little maintenance and potentially better thermal properties.
