FAQ Why do you cut Grooves instead of using a Mesh on your bat houses?

[@Goodlifecactus]

I love that you do everything in your design to be the most hospitable for bats and easy install for customers who love bats. It's a win-win for bats and bat lovers

Yep, our shipper not long ago suggested we could lower shipping costs dramatically by reducing the width of our bat houses by 4 inches and the height by 6 inches. I explained that the problem is, that puts the size smaller than what research shows bats prefer. His response... "Well, you would sell a lot more bat houses if you decreased the size." ?? I don't know what to do with that kind of reasoning. Same response as from Tractor Supply when we presented our kits to them, they said it was "too big to be displayed in their retails space" and asked if we could reduce the size by 50%. Sorry, no. I plan to build "real" bat houses, not feel good toys.

my bat house has grooves not the mesh and staples.
