If a bat house is placed directly on a flat structure or post, this feature is defeated as the structure will seal off the vent. The mount provides space so that the rear vent may perform as intended. We include a \"Perch Panel\" that can be attached to your wood post which provides protection against predators, while increasing the roost space to accommodate ~32 bats. Perch Panels are not needed when mounting to brick or stone, as those surfaces are already rough enough for bats to roost on. Three variations are available, choose the option most appropriate for your mounting surface:\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWood Post Mount Kit:\u003c\/strong\u003e This pressure treated mount is pre-drilled for lag bolts, cut to size, and includes (4) 3\/8''x3'' lag bolts for mounting to a wood post.

Because stone is irregular it can be a challenge to find mount points, extra anchors are already provided. No Perch Panel is necessary as bats easily can roost on the rough stone and brick in the space behind the bat house our kits create. Anchors are rated over 600 lbs. pull out strength in brick and must be embedded at least 1''. A hammer drill must be used to drill the pilot holes. \u003cem\u003eNOTE: one masonry bit will drill a large number of holes; multiple kits on the same order may not include a bit for every kit.\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eNOTE: Three slightly different sizes are for the ColonyCabin, ColonyLodge and the DayLodge\/DayRoost series; please be sure to choose the matching mount!\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat about mounting to a tree?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003e While we do not recommend mounting to a tree (it may be too shaded in some regions or provide easy access for predators), we recognize sometimes an existing tree is the best option.

T\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003ehe lag bolts that come with the Wood Post Kit are galvanized and could hurt (or even kill) the tree over time. We suggest you obtain stainless steel lag bolts locally (these are least likely to harm the tree) and only use two - 3\/8 x 3.5’' bolts instead of the 4 bolts we normally use for a post. The tree's irregular shape will probably only allow one bolt in each the Upper and Lower bracket and fewer bolts is less likely to harm the tree.

We suggest you obtain stainless steel lag bolts locally (these are least likely to harm the tree) and only use two - 3\/8 x 3.5’' bolts instead of the 4 bolts we normally use for a post. The tree's irregular shape will probably only allow one bolt in each the Upper and Lower bracket and fewer bolts is less likely to harm the tree.
