Caudon® Kent Bat Box (Large)
Details
Description
The Caudon® Kent Bat Box is designed around the widely publicised and popular Kent Bat Box, a concept pioneered by the Kent Bat Group, but manufactured from our extremely durable and sustainable Finnish made spruce plywood and in a larger format box.
This box is ideally suited to small crevice dwelling species such as the Common and Soprano Pipistrelles. The two rough textured 18mm wide crevice chambers inside the box provide a large surface area for roosting. The precision engineered design ensures close fitting joins to eliminate light and draft leaks. The open bottomed design is such that these boxes are self-cleaning.
Each box comes with a mounting plate for ease of installation, minimising installation time and therefore reducing project costs where a large number are to be installed.
Specification:
- Dimensions: 450mm (H) x 250mm (W) x 110mm (D)
- Weight: 2Kg
- Supplied with Mounting plate
- Should be exposed to natural sunlight for at least part of the day, so facing SE, S, SW
- If mounting several boxes in an area, vary the angle slightly between each one.

- Away from artificial light sources if possible.
- Sheltered from strong winds.
This new plywood product is an ultra-durable panel board for outdoor use in the most demanding conditions.
Direct from the sustainably managed forests of Finland, this spruce plywood is modified by an innovative vacuum treatment that renders the entire panel exceptionally durable whilst remaining lightweight and with exceptional dimensional stability. It has excellent rain resistance qualities as well as weather and boil proof bonding while still allowing water vapour to evaporate.
