QUESTIONS & ANSWERS
Ask BCM a Question-
Can I use this with a metal pole instead? Do you offer an adapter for that?
We don't stock a metal pole mount as there are too many different sizes and shapes. These brackets might be adapted in some way to mount lightweight bat houses.
You can alternately drill holes in 2x4 brackets and feed similar stainless steel band clamps thru the mounts and around the pole. These are various sizes at any hardware store. Wrapping the clamp in rubber (an old bicycle tube) may prevent the bat house from rotating in the wind, or use a self tapping roofing screw to pin the bat house in place.
If mounting the duplex version, first consider if the pole will bea able to take the weight. Consider attaching the mounts directly thru the metal pole with stainless steel bolts. -
Hi I’m looking at the Coloneylodge duplex., qty 2 one for me and a neighbor. Would the front vents be issue for Michigan regarding warmth? We’re located near Ann Arbor Michigan.
Hello - for MI I would recommend the stock ColonyLodge without any modifications, any of the 3 dark colors. Please see the manuals at https://batmanagement.com/pages/manuals for more mounting suggestions. Thanks- JC

We want to put this up in Healdsburg, CA, which can get >100 degrees in the summer, with cool nights. What color should we get?
Hello- I would start with the dark brown, and be sure to use our mounting kits (included with the Duplex) that provide the extra "cool off" chamber on the back of the ColonyLodges. Be sure to scratch up the backs of the ColonyLodges with a utility knife to best make use of this feature. -JC

Hi, I live in a CT forest. I'm wondering if your houses can be attached to a tree via a strap so we could have one facing sunny south in winter, then move it around to the shady north side of the tree in summer.
You could bolt a strap of some sort across the back of any bat house, because of the weight involved you would need large washers or a backing plate so that the strap doesn't blow out. Bats may use bat houses on the shoulder seasons, so deciding when to move the bat house would be problematic. It would be far simpler to simply install several bat houses around the property in various degrees of solar exposure and let the bats move among them. -JC
