I am a carpenter and I think that is a fantastic job you guys did! I will try your method! Great video thank you very much! And I will be sure to say just add bats! Ha ha🤘😎🤘✌️
Good idea 👍🏽 I’ll be putting about 4 on my property, I have 4.2 acres, do you know if that’s ok? Or too many? I’ve wondered if food source would be a problem? I heard they eat thousands of insects. I would space them fairly away from each other. I’m trying to control insect populations to improve my vegetation. I already have 3 nice birdhouses my father-in-law made. I also got an idea on the post from a diy video I found when searching how to make a flagpole. It might give other viewers an idea.
There is no data that bats don't like a particular stain or paint. Data actually shows unfinished bat houses are less successful than finished ones, and obviously finished ones are going to last much, much longer baking in the sun.
interesting project. what concerns me is maybe cats or other predators climbing up the pole. what experience do you guys have with cats climbing up the pole?
Would you happen to have a follow-up report on how well this worked?
Great video 👍
What's the size of the cut out on the back

Hey I know the comment is a year but I believe it’s one for every 10 acres
Thank you 🙏
Good to know 👍🏼 I only put one and I was going to put up my second one, but now I won’t.
Putting varish on the extra roost area is not recommended, most info sites.

Haven't heard of a cat, but as long as there not other perch nearby then wrapping the post with some metal flashing will do the trick.
For what it's worth, wood into concrete will rot the wood all the same. Concrete is very porous.
Hate the skeeters. Love the bats.
Sage is so pretty
Not sure wood post into the earth is best. Like fence post … they will rot. Maybe threaded steel pipe
Hardest part now is buying the pole, man they are expensive.
A 4x6x16 will cost about $60; you can also fasten two 2x6x16' together with deck screws (the 2x6 are more readily available)
Her name is Sage. The irony. haha
Bet it ends up full of wasp
Bats co-exist with paper wasps, if the nests take up too much room they can be scraped out when bats aren't present.
