Vivara Pro WoodStone® Bat Box

The Vivara Pro WoodStone® Bat Box is an attractive, hardwearing bat box that will provide much-needed summer roosting space for bats in both urban and rural areas. Due to changes in building construction and woodland management practices, natural cavities for bat roosts are very rare so providing a bat box can really help the bats in your area.

This box is made from woodstone®, a mixture of wood fibres from fully certified sustainable wood sources and concrete, and it is designed to last for years. It is breathable, so it mitigates condensation and maintains a consistent temperature inside, providing excellent insulation for roosting bats. Woodstone® also provides a rough surface on which the bats can easily cling to and move around the box. 

The box can be attached to either a wall or a tree (fixings not included) and should be sited at a height of at least 3m from the ground. Bats prefer to change roosts to benefit from varying ambient temperatures, so bat boxes should ideally be clustered in small groups.
