Bats can then choose the box which offers the optimal conditions and are likely to vary which box they use through the year. To securely install your Pole Mounted Bat Box usually requires around 1m of the pole to be buried below ground, however we would always advise you consult your builder or structural engineer as ground conditions vary from site to site.

For ease of installation and shipping, the pole will be despatched separately from the bat box and bracket.
