Wooden Bat Box Chambord

Offer bats a safe, sheltered place to rest with this FSC® wooden bat box. Its low entrance makes access simple for bats as they return from their evening insect hunts, creating a practical roosting space for species such as the brown long-eared bat, greater mouse-eared bat and common pipistrelle.

Bats may be small, but they play a big role in the garden. These remarkable night-time visitors feed on flying insects and often live surprisingly close to us, using gardens for food, water and shelter. With many natural roosting sites lost over time, adding a bat box is a simple way to give local wildlife a helping hand.

The open lower entrance allows bats to crawl comfortably into the box, while the enclosed wooden design provides a dark, protected space for daytime roosting. Made from FSC® 100% wood, it is a thoughtful choice for anyone wanting to support bats in a more nature-friendly garden.

Bats often move between roosts throughout the year, choosing different spaces depending on the season and weather. Your box may not be occupied straight away, so patience is part of the charm. If it has not been used after around three years, try relocating it to a better spot.
