Multiple roosts provide bats with parasite and predator avoidance options. Multiple smaller bat roosts allow bat families to break up and segregate as they see fit. If one structure is vandalized or collapses over time, the whole colony will not suddenly be at risk, but will occupy the other nearby structures until repairs made.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eA Super Duplex in Pennsylvania was occupied when checked 12 days after installation.\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cem data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eThe Super Duplex is easier to install and is less costly.

However, the entire assembly can be assembled on the ground on sawhorses. Four people may lift the Super Duplex while several pull or winch with a rope as the base slides into the holes.

Create a 650+ Bat Super Sanctuary. Expandable to ~1,000 bats!

Download the Super Duplex install manual here.

The Super Duplex Bat House provides a large, long term bat sanctuary for large backyards, parks, long term mitigation, and wildlife management areas. Twin 4''x6'' treated posts (obtained locally) provide redundancy and strength against high winds and long term deterioration. The 7'' space between the posts is filled with hand-roughened roost baffles, and covered with an aluminum roof. Our 4-Chamber ColonyLodge Universal bat houses are added in a back-to-back bat configuration. The ColonyLodge features slots in the back allowing bats to move into various sized crevices into the middle of the structure, or switch roost boxes to find their preferred microclimate. Front, rear, and side vents to reduce overheating. The standard Super Duplex configuration may hold approximately ~650+ bats! 

The Super Duplex is expandable by adding one additional ColonyLodge bat house on the left and right sides. Start small and add on modules as desired. This creates a "bat condo"-class structure using four of BCM's successful Universal bat houses. The dual posts easily support the additional weight and negligible additional wind load. This is the least expensive, easiest to construct plan to approach the 1000 bat capacity that is ideal for watchable wildlife installations. 

Does it work? Bats often prefer roosting in larger structures, which can help buffer nighttime temperature extremes, as well as heat up faster in the morning. Biologists are considering multiple smaller bat house structures are better than one large "condo"-class structure.  Multiple Duplex or other bat houses spread the bat colony out among many structures, providing a variety of microclimate options. Multiple roosts provide bats with parasite and predator avoidance options. Multiple smaller bat roosts allow bat families to break up and segregate as they see fit. If one structure is vandalized or collapses over time, the whole colony will not suddenly be at risk, but will occupy the other nearby structures until repairs made.

A Super Duplex in Pennsylvania was occupied when checked 12 days after installation. The Super Duplex is easier to install and is less costly. It is possible to install 3 or more Super Duplex configurations than one bat condo-class structure. 

Flat Roof brown or white. Use the white roof for warm climates while the brown side is for all but the hotter locations in the US and Canada. This is an aluminum roof over both bat houses (including the screws holding the bat house onto the structure), and the center roost cavity in the middle between the houses.

Roof, Center Cluster, and Mount Only version. This option is for those who already purchased 4 Chamber Universal bat houses and would like to construct the Super Duplex. The kit includes the mounts and roof assembly. You provide 4''x6''x16' treated posts. Note this kit is specifically for BCM 4 Chamber Universal bat houses.

Installation. The Super Duplex is a significant structure, but by far the easiest and least expensive of any artificial bat roost available of similar capacity. It is possible to assemble the mounts, put the posts in place, then add the bat houses and roof separately using ladders, scaffolding, or a lift machine. However, the entire assembly can be assembled on the ground on sawhorses. Four people may lift the Super Duplex while several pull or winch with a rope as the base slides into the holes. The Super Duplex may also lean against a truck with an appropriate ladder rack, or lean on the bucket of a front end loader/forklift, etc. to be pushed into place. The Super Duplex had been assembled and placed in as little as 2-3 hours in this way. BCM delivery, micro siting, and installation is available, please contact jchenger@batmanagement.com for a quote. 

Which color bat house is best for you? Both dark brown and our tan color has been successful in mid-FL and TX. Definitely select a black or dark green or dark brown for most northern states and high elevations, or tan for warmer climates most of Florida and desert). Included with every bat house is a comprehensive manual, which will assist you with site determination, installation, and long-term maintenance tips.

The Super Duplex Bat Roost includes two ColonyLodge bat houses, center baffle cluster, framing, roof, and ships with all hardware necessary for assembly. 

What's Included?:

  • Two (2) Four-Chamber ColonyLodge Bat Houses
  • Roof Assembly
  • One Aluminum Roof Panel

What's needed?

  • Drill socket adapter + socket set
  • Combination square + tape measure
  • Drill bit for predrilling holes in sides and metal roof

  • Two 4''x6'' posts instead of one
  • Center roost structure increases capacity 
  • Aluminum roof protects center roost structure and upper mounting screws on the ColonyLodges
  • Vented center baffle cluster provides more microclimate options
  • Vents behind ColonyLodges help prevent overheating

QUESTIONS & ANSWERS

Ask BCM a Question

  • What are the dimensions of the center baffle cluster, what type of wood is it, and how many are there? I'm looking at the Super Duplex install manual (Step 3), and that is the only part that isn't clear to me. I recently received the two ColonyLodge bat houses and would like to create the Super Duplex. Thanks!

    The center baffle cluster is overall  17.5'' tall x11'' wide x5'' deep made from 3/8 plywood heavily scratched on both sides and 3/4'' spacers. We actually have a 1'' gap in the middle of these baffles as well, with the spacers on the ends. Once you put the framing on your 4x6 posts and have that laid out on sawhorses, you will see the void in the middle of the posts that needs filled and essentially cut to fit. Thanks and be sure to send photos of your build and install to BCM's Facebook https://www.facebook.com/batmanagement

  • Green or black for Akron Ohio Large property 12 wooded acres 3/4 acre pond 4 acre grass with shade trees Currently bats in Barn

    Either color may work. Bats may not use the bat house if the barn is easily accessible to them however, and it may take several seasons for some to move in.

  • How do I buy the Shade Roof design for the Super Deluxe Bat House version? This summer we had 58 days of 100 degree heat in central Texas and little cloud cover. Thanks.

    Hello- thanks for your interest- these can be strips of 2x4 for support, with gaps, with white aluminum flashing across the top. This can be obtained locally. If you want something pre-made please send a few photos of your bat house setup so we can verify what the sizes would be. Please respond to jchenger@batmanagement.com
