Kenley Bat House - Outdoor Cedar Bat Box with Double Chamber | Easy Install

Overview

The Kenley Bat House is a thoughtfully crafted outdoor shelter built from sustainable cedar. Its design features a spacious double chamber that provides ample roosting room while a textured landing platform with perches supports safe landings. The result is a practical habitat that blends with garden spaces, inviting local bats to choose a trusted roosting site without compromising yard aesthetics.

Constructed to endure seasonal weather, the cedar wood is naturally resistant to rot and decay. While compact in size (15 x 9.3 x 3.3 inches), the box offers a durable, weather-ready home that can withstand rain, wind, and snowfall for years. Kenley emphasizes a balance between functional design and outdoor charm, so the unit remains a subtle addition to any landscape.

Key design elements

• Spacious double chamber tailored for roosting preferences and ease of occupancy.
• Textured landing platform with perches to assist confident landings.
• Weather-resistant cedar construction that resists moisture-related wear.
• Shipped pre-assembled with a sturdy hanger hook and pre-drilled mounting hole for quick setup.
• Compact footprint that fits easily on a pole, tree, or wall without dominating the space.

Placement and use

For best results, position the Kenley Bat House 15–20 feet above ground and face south or southeast. Ensure a clear flight path and avoid obstacles that could block access. Direct sunlight for at least a portion of the day (roughly 4 hours) helps maintain comfortable interior temperatures. If you have space for more than one, placing two additional houses nearby can offer different microclimates and roosting options.

• Mount height: 15–20 feet; orientation: south or southeast.
• Site choice: clear flight path, sheltered from strong winds, with daily sun exposure.
• Expansion: consider 1–2 nearby boxes to provide varied thermal environments.

Environmental and lifestyle benefits

Beyond a safe roost, a dedicated bat box supports local ecosystems by encouraging bats to roost in a controlled space rather than seeking shelter in buildings. Kenley’s design aims to minimize nuisance by offering an inviting, purpose-built habitat that blends with outdoor spaces while promoting wildlife-friendly practices.
