Hi Stuart. Stuart i made some bat boxes recently. I used ply. And made some kerf cuts ( remember what i taught you? 😅 ) so the bat can grip the wood and crawl up. I take it they can grip the lead? But i guess your bat entrance replaces a roof tile so it isnt verticle like a bat box?

Yes that’s correct. They are the same pitch as the roof. I try and make the entrance as big as possible.

Thank you. I’ve been in this trade for 24 years so it’s kind of second nature to me. Just keep practising and you’ll get there.

@@mattclarke3893 if your planning on doing a doing a fair bit of welding it’s worth investing in a decent setup. I use victor single stage regs. Boc hoses and gas. With a model o torch. With a number 3 nipple. I’m planning on making a more in depth vid soon of my complete setup and welding process.
