Big Bat Barn – Three Chamber Premium Cedar Bat Barn (Brown)

About this item

Big Bat Barn Brown — Three-Chamber Cedar Habitat, 150 Bats Handcrafted from cedar in a warm brown finish, the Big Bat Barn holds up to 150 bats across three chambers. The barn profile is deliberate — it reads as part of a yard or smallholding rather than a box bolted to a wall. Three chambers, up to 150 bats. The barn depth gives a colony room to spread and a temperature gradient to choose from, which a flat-backed habitat cannot provide. Why the brown finish. Brown sits between natural cedar and black on heat retention, holding steadier interior temperatures across a wider range of conditions. The right pick for temperate regions. Rough-sawn throughout. Every interior face is grooved so bats can climb and hang securely — the detail that decides whether a habitat gets used. Built for open ground. Sized for larger gardens, paddocks and smallholdings where a colony has insects to work and open flight lines. Solid cedar weathers without chemical treatment. Handcrafted cedar, built to last. Arrives fully assembled with mounting hardware and the Bat Conservation International siting guide. No expertise required.

Direction: facing south or south-east, for 6–8 hours of direct sun. Mount to: a pole, or high on a wall or barn. Never the trunk of a shade tree. Clearance: keep branches, wires and other predator perches 20–25 ft away. Water: within about a quarter mile of a stream, pond or lake if you can. Pole length is not mounting height. A pole needs to be 16 ft or longer, because roughly 3 ft of it goes in the ground. Full instructions are in the Bat Conservation International guide included with your bat house.
