DL541 – Recessed Bat Box and Solitary Bee Box in Timber Frame Wall With Tile Roof Closed Eaves Detail

Price range: £9.00 through £14.00 + VAT

This detail shows a recessed brick-clad bat roosting box and a recessed solitary bee brick integrated into a brick-clad timber frame wall with a concrete tile warm roof and closed eaves, with elevation, section, and plan views including an isometric illustration. Anything bridging the cavity and creating a void may require extra structural support, DPC, and cavity tray over. 

The bat box should be positioned a minimum of 4m above the ground, preferably directly under the eaves, facing south-west, south, or south-east to allow for solar gain during the day, and placed near locations where bats are known to feed. All bat species and their roosts are legally protected in Britain. 

The solitary bee box should be positioned a minimum of 1m from the ground, away from damp locations, in a sheltered and dry position facing south or south-east, avoiding the westerly facade. The eaves are boxed in with fascia and soffit, with a ventilated cavity with insect mesh to the top. An open-state cavity barrier for ventilated cavities is fixed back to the solid substrate to manufacturers’ details. 

See drawing notes for full information.
