The Habibat Double Chambered Rocket Box is constructed from FSC-certified marine plywood, providing strength, durability and resistance to weathering in exposed conditions.

Its double chambered internal layout creates a range of roosting spaces within a single unit, helping to provide more varied internal conditions for bats. This can support improved occupancy potential and makes the box well suited to mitigation-led projects where appropriate alternative roost provision is required.

The robust timber construction differentiates the box from lower-cost retail products, providing a more reliable and professional solution for ecological mitigation and habitat management.

The Habibat Double Chambered Rocket Box is designed to support crevice-dwelling UK bat species commonly associated with buildings and structures.

This includes species such as:

• Pipistrelle species
• Natterer’s bat
• Brandt’s bat
• Whiskered bat

The internal chamber arrangement provides narrow, sheltered roosting spaces that reflect the types of crevice habitats these species naturally utilise.

The Habibat Double Chambered Rocket Box is designed for installation on a dedicated pole, providing an elevated and undisturbed roosting location.

• Typically mounted on a 3–5 metre pole
• Installed in open or edge-of-habitat locations where appropriate
• Positioned away from high levels of disturbance
• Designed for straightforward installation onto timber or steel poles
• Ensure a clear flight path to the box entrance
• Pole-mounted installation helps replicate the height and accessibility of natural roosting features and is commonly specified as part of mitigation strategies.

Positioning should always be informed by site-specific ecological advice and any requirements set out within the relevant mitigation licence.

The Habibat Double Chambered Rocket Box is particularly suited to:

• Demolition projects involving buildings with bat habitation
• Bat mitigation licence requirements
• Redevelopment and site clearance schemes
• Infrastructure and construction projects
• Habitat replacement and temporary roost provision

It is especially useful where alternative bat roosting features are required before works can proceed.

The Habibat Double Chambered Rocket Box is commonly used as part of a wider bat mitigation strategy, helping projects respond to ecological requirements, planning conditions and licence obligations.

Temporary and replacement roosting features are often required where development impacts existing bat roosts. In these situations, rocket boxes can provide a practical and professional solution that supports compliance while helping to maintain habitat continuity for affected species.

They are most effective when used as part of a carefully planned ecological mitigation package, informed by survey work and professional advice.

Habibat works with architects, developers, ecologists and contractors to ensure the right nesting features are selected and delivered effectively.

We can assist with:

• Advice on product selection
• Reviewing drawings and mitigation proposals
• Guidance on positioning and specification
• Support with ecological requirements
• Practical advice on installation and delivery

Our aim is to provide solutions that are practical, durable and appropriate for real-world mitigation projects.
