Experience with the tried and tested, Universal Summer Bat Box 1FTH has shown that wood-free clinging panels in a large roost can be advantageous for some construction projects. This can be, for example, due to projects requiring the approval of the property owner, planner or designer or fire safety, as well as the location itself. It has been found that this type of roost is also used in underground basements and bunkers, where the high humidity means that wood is undesirable. At the same time, the animals’ preferences or the fact that they are used to a cooler or more humid hanging site make this type the recommendable choice. In addition, this model offers an alternative clinging panel look, which can be helpful for individual projects from a planning point of view. Otherwise the 2FTH is largely the same as model 1FTH.
» Siting in the woods
Reduces the shortage of suitable tree cavities and gaps in young forests, reafforestation and parks. To this end, the 2FTH is installed, for example, on raised hunting hides or on stud walls.
Occupants: Forest-inhabiting bat species such as Brown Long-Eared Bats, Nathusius’ Pipistrelle Bats, Whiskered Bats, Noctule Bats, and others.
» Installation on a building
Use the enclosed fixing bracket to attach to building façades and structures, e.g. bridges across bodies of water, motorway bridges, as well as inside buildings, e.g. attics, basements. Is also very suitable if installed in combination with other Bat Boxes.
Occupants: House-inhabiting bat species, including Serotine, Common Pipistrelle and Natterer’s Bats.
Installation height: At least 3 m. The specially shaped fixing bracket is fixed onto the respective background with three screws and the 2FTH is hung in it.
Material: Weather resistant and breathable SCHWEGLER lightweight concrete. Inside structured clinging panels made of SCHWEGLER lightweight concrete, rear made of SCHWEGLER wood-concrete with corrugated hanging structure, hanging fixings made of zinc-plated steel.

Differences between 1FTH & 2FTH
The main difference between the 1FTH and 2FTH bat maternity boxes lies in the materials and intended application. The 1FTH features a combination of wood concrete and internal plywood elements and is designed as a universal summer, mating and maternity roost for forests and buildings. The 2FTH, however, is largely wood-free, with structured internal roosting walls made of lightweight concrete. This makes it especially suitable for projects with fire safety requirements or humid environments such as basements and bunker complexes. The 2FTH also provides a cooler and more humid microclimate and comes in a light grey finish. In terms of dimensions, mounting system and overall functionality, both models are nearly identical, but the 2FTH is specifically developed for wood-free and moisture-prone installations.
