Coloured boxes like
those above are painted with a non-toxic water resistant finish. As
you can see above the finish is applied only to the outside of the box.
Here you can see the
traditional design of bat box and also (above, centre
and right) the new "Finnemore" style.
Bat boxes in these designs are available from
Ebony Woodwork at Consett
priced at £7 each.
The boxes are made from
rough sawn untreated softwood so that the bats can easily hold on to the
surfaces. Entry is through a slot in the bottom of the
box.
