  • with temperature controlled hanging places made of SCHWEGLER lightweight concrete (woodfree)

Experience with our tried and tested, Universal Summer Bat Box 1FTH has shown that wood-free clinging panels in a large roost can be advantageous for some construction projects. This can be, for example, due to projects requiring the approval of the property owner, planner or designer or fire safety, as well as the location itself. It has been found that this type of roost is also used in underground basements and bunkers, where the high humidity means that wood is undesirable.
At the same time, the animals' preferences or the fact that they are used to a cooler or more humid hanging site make this type the recommendable choice. In addition, this model offers an alternative clinging panel look, which can be helpful for individual projects from a planning point of view. Otherwise the 2FTH is largely the same as model 1FTH.

Installation on a building

Use the enclosed fixing bracket (Figure 1) to attach to building façades and structures, e.g. bridges across bodies of water, motorway bridges, as well as inside buildings, e.g. attics, basements. Is also very suitable if installed in combination with other Bat Boxes.
Occupants: House-inhabiting bat species, including Serotine, Common Pipistrelle and Natterer's Bats.

Siting in the woods

Reduces the shortage of suitable tree cavities and gaps in young forests, reafforestation and parks. To this end, the 2FTH is installed, for example, on raised hunting hides or on stud walls
Occupants: Forest-inhabiting bat species such as Brown Long-Eared Bats, Nathusius' Pipistrelle Bats, Whiskered Bats, Noctule Bats, and others.

The Bat species that live in Germany use a large range of different types of roosts in the summer. Bats that live in woods and forests rear their young in tree holes or crevices. Village Bats use niches and cracks in buildings or spacious attics. Each Bat species is so highly specialised that they cannot use any lair. Bats are therefore very constant in their roosts and each year return to the same site. However, among other things, weather changes with fluctuating temperatures and species-specific annual cycles lead to frequent changes in roosts. Observations of female colonies show that even mothers with their young can change lairs several times within a few days. This results in a large demand for suitable lair options, as a single female colony uses numerous roosts in the summer. This is why there is a regular shortage of suitable Bat roosts, both in built-up areas and in forests.
