The 2FN Schwegler Special Bat Box is a robust and thoughtfully designed habitat, ideal for supporting a variety of bat species in woodland and parkland settings. Crafted from durable, breathable Woodcrete—a blend of wood, concrete, and clay—this bat box offers exceptional longevity, with a lifespan of up to 25 years, and provides excellent insulation against temperature fluctuations. Its unique design features two entrances: one at the rear against the tree trunk and one at the front, facilitating natural bat behavior. The domed roof and increased internal height allow bats to form clusters, promoting warmth and social interaction.

This bat box has proven highly successful with species such as the Noctule (Nyctalus noctula) and Bechstein's bat (Myotis bechsteinii), with documented instances of up to 28 bats and their young occupying a single box. Its construction effectively deters small predators and excludes draughts and light, creating a secure and comfortable environment for roosting bats. The 2FN is particularly suitable for installation in forests, parks, and large gardens, contributing significantly to local biodiversity and ecological balance.
