- Ideal for ensuring continued access to established bat roosts when refurbishing and renovating buildings.
- Can be integrated into brickwork, stonework and external insulation.
- Open back provides a bat friendly entrance for bats to gain entry to cavity walls and/or existing roost sites.
- Recycled plastic weatherproof shell with internal wooden roost chamber provides an additional roost space.
- Choice of brick or black coloured front panels.
The Eco Bat Access Box provides access for bats to existing roost sites. When buildings are renovated or refurbished, the Eco Bat Access Box can be installed so that bats can continue to utilise their existing roost. In addition to providing access to existing roost sites the Eco Bat Access Box provides a new roost space for bats with two parallel crevices ideally suited to pipistrelles and other crevice dwelling bats. The box can be incorporated during both new build or renovation projects into brickwork, stonework, timber cladding or external insulation or cladding. For ease of installation into brickwork, the box is sized to replace six standard UK bricks without obstructing the cavity but permitting bats access to the cavity of a building.
The box consists of an external shell of UV stabilised recycled plastic to provide sealed, long lasting weather protection whilst internally it features a wooden box made from FSC Certified oriented strand board (OSB) providing a roost chamber for the bats. The box requires no maintenance as it is designed with angled baffles which mean droppings simply fall out of the entrance slot. The box is available with either brick or black coloured front panels to fit in with the surrounding wall surface.

In partnership with The Nestbox Company
nature first since 1996
We aim for our boxes to provide the best accommodation for wildlife and our primary concern with all our products is that they should be designed appropriately for their target species.
Our boxes replicate as far as possible the conditions which are found in natural nest and roost sites.
designed by experts
Before we design any box we consider the requirements of the proposed inhabitants through reviews of published studies and consultation with experts in their field.
Combined with our experience of designing and manufacturing boxes and customer feedback we produce what we hope are boxes which offer the best accommodation for wildlife.
During the development of our products we are grateful to have received input of various kinds from many sources including, amongst others, the RSPB, the Barn Owl Trust, the University of Warwick, ZSL London Zoo, Staffordshire University, the Bat Conservation Trust, Aston University, the People's Trust for Endangered Species, Coventry University and the British Hedgehog Preservation Society.
made in britain
We started making nest boxes in 1996 based in a shed in Herefordshire. Since then, we’ve grown in size to become one of the largest producers of roost, nest, and wildlife boxes in the UK.
The Nestbox Company is run by father and sons; Peter, Tristan and Damian.
We manufacture our products in our own rural workshops, and combine modern production technology, with traditional hand finishing.
