Bat Barn Junior – Two Chamber Premium Cedar Bat Barn (Brown)

About this item

Bat Barn Junior Brown — Two-Chamber Cedar Habitat, 50 Bats Handcrafted from cedar in a warm brown finish, the Bat Barn Junior holds up to 50 bats across two chambers. Same barn profile as the full-size Big Bat Barn, scaled for a standard garden. Two chambers, up to 50 bats. Two crevices give a starting colony depth and a choice of temperature through the day — the main advantage over a single-chamber habitat. Why the brown finish. Brown retains more heat than natural cedar and less than black, which holds a steadier interior across a wider range of conditions. The flexible pick for temperate gardens. Rough-sawn interior. Both chambers are grooved so bats can climb and hang securely — the detail that decides whether a habitat gets used. Garden-scaled barn. The barn shape without the footprint. Mounts on a pole or high on a wall where the full-size barn would dominate. 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.
