Kenley Bat House – Handcrafted Cedar Bat Box for Outdoors | Weatherproof & Easy to Install

Meet the Kenley Bat House

The Kenley Bat House is a handcraft-crafted cedar box designed to invite local bats to a safe, comfortable roost. Featuring a single, well-spaced chamber, it provides a natural resting space while a textured landing platform with perches helps bats latch on and settle in with ease. Built to blend into outdoor spaces, this box emphasizes function, durability, and a low-maintenance footprint for years of use.

Why this bat box stands out is its thoughtful combination of materials and design. The chamber is sized to comfortably accommodate roosting activity, while the textured landing surface guides bats through the enter-and-exit routine. The cedar wood is chosen for its natural rot resistance, helping the enclosure withstand the elements as seasons change. The external dimensions measure 14.6 by 6.7 by 2.2 inches, a compact profile that fits well in a variety of outdoor settings without drawing undue attention.
