How to build a bat box | Devon Wildlife Trust

Build your own bat box and give a bat a safe place to roost.

I am thinking of getting a bat house for the end of the yard!
Love night pollinators, etc
Any advice?
This is for urban Denver
Note that we DO see bats already in the yard around dusk naturally, hunting insects...
Thanks in advance!

Good people of the fediverse I have a question about bats and swallows.

We're building a carport. One end will be attached to a wall. The other end will rest on 6 brick pillars of about 3 meters high.

I have 2 nest boxes for barn swallows and 2 bat boxes.

I'd like to attach those to the pillars.

Now my questions:
1) Is it ok to put both up in the same area?
2) What would be the best side of the pillars to hang them from: facing in, out or sideways?

Thank you for your advice!
