Kids love this kit - This is the kit we use in our workshops!

Tools needed: small power drill, Phillips-head driver bit, #8 Pre-drill (countersink) bit and a Phillips-head screwdriver

We recommend the tool we use in our Workshops: the  DeWALT Flip Drive (DW2701).  This tool is available as an add-on item in our store.

Additional tools you may find helpful:  clamps or masking tape

Supplies needed:  paintable latex caulk, paper towels and water-based paint for exterior finish

We use high quality building materials:  exterior grade ACX plywood.  All interior surfaces have cut grooves giving bats a permanent gripping surface that will never come loose and entangle or injure the bats.  Kit comes with instructions, screws, nails and a cut-out bat to decorate the front of the house.

The manual covers choosing a paint color, as well as, where and how to install your bat house for the best chances of success.

Specifications:

     Dimensions:  H 28" x W 18" x D 2"

     Weight:   8 lbs.

     Bat Capacity*:   about 50 to 100 (depending on the species)

     Cubic Inches of Roosting Space:  220

 *We attempt to be honest with our estimates allowing approx. 3 cubic inches for each bat. This includes an allowance for unused space since the bats will not pack the house top to bottom. Some species will crowd in very tightly, others will not.  Here's the math: "Cubic Inches of Roosting space / 3 Cubic Inches = estimate of capacity". 

Why does it cost so much to ship?  

Our bat houses are full size and certifiable.  They are not toys or small bird house style kits - this kit ships in a 29x17x3 box and ships at 10 lbs.
