» BAT BOX 2F with double front panel Material: SCHWEGLER wood-concrete
VV Pipistrelle Bats
The dimensions are the same as the above-named general purpose Bat Box
2F. This box has a special double front panel, made of long-term resistant,
grooved wooden boards, which creates a particularly popular and readily
acceptable roost for crevice-inhabiting Bats, for example Nathusius'
Pipistrelle, Daubenton's and Pipistrelle Bats.
As with the 2F general purpose model, the Bat Box can be easily converted
into a 2F Bat Box without double front panel or a 2M Nest Box for Birds at
any time.
The front panel can be removed for inspection and cleaning. Supplied with
hanger and aluminium nail.
External Dimensions: l 16 cm.
Hight: 33 cm.
Weight: approx. 4.1 kg.

VV Common Noctule Bat at the entrance
hole of a 2F Bat Box
This general purpose Bat Box is ideally suited as an introduction to Bat
protection. At the same time it is a readily accepted resting and temporary
roost. The textured and spherical interior roof area allows the Bats to hang
optimally. If the Bat Box is not occupied after several years for whatever
reason, e.g. due to a non-species-appropriate biotope structure, it can be
converted into a Type 2M Nest Box by replacing the front panel (see page 7).
Providing accommodation for a large number of Bats and offering good
value for money, this Bat Box should be an integral part of any measures to
protect these animals.
The front panel can be removed for inspection and cleaning. Supplied with
Hanger and Aluminium Nail.
Fixing: Can be installed in a tree or on buildings, minimum height 3 to 4
metres. Ensure that a clear horizontal approach is provided for the Bats. To
ensure optimum accommodation, the Bat Box should be cleaned once or
twice a year, or the Bat droppings should be removed.
External Dimensions: l 16 cm.
Hight: 33 cm.
Weight: approx. 3.8 kg.

Species such as the Lesser Noctule and the Common Noctule, as well as Daubenton's, Nathusius's Pipistrelle and Bechstein's Bat, are typical
representatives of Bats that live in woods and forests. They prefer Bat Boxes as closed systems, as in nature they prefer, for example, woodpecker
cavities and hollow tree branches. However, as old, diseased or dead trees tend not to be available or rather are removed from managed forests,
natural roosts for Bats have become scarce. Bat Boxes can provide a remedy and are readily accepted by the animals.
So-called "House Bats" are mainly those that like to roost in buildings, for example, in roller shutter boxes, behind window shutters, niches and gaps.
These are, above all, Serotine, Mouse-Eared and Pipistrelle Bats. These Bats prefer, for example, flat boxes or round boxes with several hanging
panel partitions.
