Description
By building the bat cellar ourselves we have complete control off the design, materials used and shape of the cellar. By installing a ventilation pipe and door, air circulation is minimal, causing condensation moisture to form, which ensures higher humidity. By placing the cellar half in the ground and incorporating it into a mound, the bat cellar is well insulated. This means that the indoor temperature will not drop below zero in freezing temperatures. The inner door provides temperature buffering in the bat cellar.
Steel door
Sturdy steel door with locks. The bars of the door are horizontal and at a good distance, so that the bat can fly in.
reconnaissance window
Bats prefer an area where they can fly around before flying into the basement.
Wooden door
This wooden door with an anti-marten entrance to protect bats inside.
ventilation pipe
There is a light air circulation through this ventilation pipe.
nesting stones
We attach several nesting stones to the ceiling of the cellar.
bat boxes
Around the walls are wooden bat boxes with spaces behind which bats can nest.
Masonry walls
By placing masonry walls inside the basement, different spaces and therefore climates are created. In addition, this also makes a different kind of wall / texture available for bats.
