About this Batty Item
Four Chamber Nursery Bat House - BCI Certified
This four chamber bat house is built to meet and exceed all 10 of Bat Conservation International (BCI) certification requirements. We've taken great effort to create a completely finished, durable, practical and easy to install bat house. Has a small chamber at the top for birthing bats.
Now approved by Merlin Tuttle's Bat Conservation (MTBC).
Featuring an Integrated Mounting Cleat for easy hanging!
Watch as we build a four chamber bat house:
We use high quality building materials: exterior grade ACX plywood, weatherproof fasteners, a 50 year polyurethane adhesive caulk, and two coats of premium, self priming exterior water-based paint. All interior surfaces have cut grooves giving bats a permanent gripping texture that will never come loose and entangle or injure the bats. Internal baffles are spaced 3/4" apart; the research based, bat preferred spacing. The roof is painted with a complimentary 10X deck paint to improve appearance, durability and solar heating.
Includes a complete manual that covers where and how to install your bat house for the best chance of success. Select from 3 different colors, based upon the average (July) high temperatures for your area. If your average July temperature is 84 degrees or less, please go back to "Finished Bat Houses" and select a cold weather bat house.
Made in the USA
Specifications:
Dimension: H 31" x W 20" x D 6.25"
Weight: 28 lbs.
Bat Capacity*: about 350 to 400
Cubic Inches of Roosting Space: 1000
*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".

Best bat house EVER
Posted by Unknown on 14th Mar 2017
We live in the mountains of north Georgia and had a single chamber bat house that has been inhabited every year since we put it up. This past year we had a bat winter in the house and wanted to encourage that so we started looking for an additional bat house. After much research and reading reviews we went with the four chamber nursery bat house from Habitat For Bats and could not be more pleased. This bat house is incredibly well constructed and is truly awesome!!! We had added a special request on the comment section and were thrilled when the house arrived and was exactly what we had asked for. The instruction booklet was quite helpful and well detailed. I called with a question about the bats themselves and had a wonderful conversation the woman at Habitat For Bats who was very helpful and knowledgeable. We put the bat house up as soon as it arrived and are pleased to say the bats love their new home as much as we do! Hoping when spring arrives there will be even more new residents! Thank you Habitat For Bats!!!

Everything as described
Posted by Rick Garman on 15th Jun 2016
The bat house appears to be very well constructed and was finished well too. Everything was as described on the website. The included installation instructions were thorough and the website videos were also helpful. Very thankful that you include the cleat to help hold the bat house in place while doing final installation. I don't know how I would have managed w/o the cleat. 28 pounds doesn't seem that heavy...until you are 12 feet in the air trying to wrangle with a large bat house! Now looking forward to the local bats discovering the new bat house and making it their home.

Great Bat house
Posted by Unknown on 3rd Nov 2015
Great Bat house. Excellent workmanship and design. Have not installed yet. Only problem is the French cleat has a crack that runs the length (along grain of wood).

GREAT Four Chamber Bat House!
Posted by Vernon on 10th Apr 2015
Just received house but not yet installed. I am very impressed with the design, quality and workmanship of this four chamber house. Looking forward to installation and accommodation of hundreds of bats. I did an extensive internet survey prior to purchase and am convinced this is the BEST commercial bat house available.
