Build a Bat House

Welcome nature’s nighttime helpers.


This simple woodworking project lets you build a cozy cedar bat house to mount on your barn, shed, or post. Designed to shelter native bats and support natural pest control, it’s a perfect beginner build that fits right in with homestead values. The final piece has a single-chamber design, a vent for airflow, and a grooved interior to make it bat-friendly.

Encourage pollinators, reduce mosquitos, and support local wildlife—all with one small, satisfying build.
