Pole Mounted Roost Maternity Single/Double Bat Box

Pole Mounted Bat Boxes are an ideal solution when there is no suitable building or tree available on which to mount the bat box. They can also be used to ensure that box gets maximum solar gain by placing it in an unshaded spot or if you want to position the bat box on a hedgerow.

We offer both our Roost Maternity Bat Box as either single boxes or double boxes mounted back to back on the same pole. The back to back boxes have the advantage that the two boxes will differ in solar gain and resultant thermal regimes. Bats can then choose the box which offers the optimal conditions and are likely to vary which box they use through the year.

To securely install your Pole Mounted Bat Box usually requires around 1m of the pole to be buried below ground, however we would always advise you consult your builder or structural engineer as ground conditions vary from site to site.

For ease of installation and shipping, the pole will be dispatched separately from the bat box and bracket. Apart from erecting the pole, the only tool needed is a spanner (or a screwdriver for the metal band version) to fix the boxes onto the pole.

This product is made to order, with a lead time of 2-3 weeks. You are welcome to get in touch with us if you would like to request a quotation.
