WildYard Big Bat Barn Junior Cedar Bat House — 2-Chamber, Black, Preassembled for Up to 50 Bats

The WildYard Big Bat Barn Junior is a preassembled two-chamber cedar bat house that provides secure, temperature-managed roosting space for up to 50 bats in a compact barn-style design.

Turn a corner of your property into safe habitat with a bat house that balances form and function. The WildYard Big Bat Barn Junior combines weather-resistant cedar construction, a textured landing pad, and two insulated chambers to help create a dry, breathable roost. It ships preassembled with mounting hardware so installation is quick — attach it to a wall, pole, or tree where bats are likely to find it.

How does this bat house encourage bats to roost?

The two vertically stacked chambers create separate microclimates that bats prefer for daytime resting and raising young. Textured interior surfaces and a grippable landing pad give bats reliable takeoff and landing traction, while the inclined roof sheds water and protects the entrance.

• Two internal chambers for colony and bachelor grouping
• Textured landing pad to aid entry and exit
• Sloped roof and ventilation to keep interiors dry and breathable
• Cedar wood resists rot and holds up outdoors

Where should I mount the Big Bat Barn Junior for best results?

Choose a sunny, elevated location at least 10–15 feet off the ground to reduce predator access and increase visibility for hunting bats. Mount on a south- or southeast-facing wall, pole, or tree trunk with a clear flight path; avoid areas with dense nighttime lighting or heavy canopy cover.

• Mount 10–20 feet high for easier colonization
• Preferably face south or southeast for morning sun
• Keep 20–40 feet clear flight space in front of the entrance
• Preassembled mounting brackets and screws included for easy setup

What weather and maintenance should I expect over time?

Cedar construction and a pitched roof reduce water intrusion and natural wear, but periodic checks help ensure longevity. Inspect for loose screws, debris inside chambers, or wasp nests once or twice a year and clean only when the box is empty to avoid disturbing roosting bats.

• Cedar resists warping and decay for multi-season durability
• Avoid cleaning during maternity season to protect young bats
• Annual inspections recommended for fasteners and vents
• Do not paint interior surfaces; exterior stain is acceptable if needed

How big is it and what kind of bats will it support?

The compact Big Bat Barn Junior is sized to host small- to medium-sized North American bat species that use crevice-style roosts — the two-chamber layout fits colonies and smaller bachelor groupings. It’s designed to fit in yards with limited mounting space while still offering capacity for up to about 50 bats.

• Compact footprint suits walls, sheds, and poles
• Two-chamber cabin mimics natural crevice roosts
• Capacity listed up to roughly 50 bats depending on species
• Preassembled for fast placement and immediate readiness

Who is this for: The WildYard Big Bat Barn Junior is ideal for homeowners, gardeners, and conservation-minded property owners who want to encourage beneficial nocturnal wildlife in a tidy, decorative structure. It suits people with limited mounting space who still want meaningful bat habitat capacity, plus anyone who prefers a ready-to-install solution made from durable cedar. Use it where bats are welcome and where morning sun and clear flight space help adoption.
