Hey I'm thinkin' about doing a clay or ceramic bat box. I don't think it would weigh much more than other materials. The interior partitions could be thin. Anyone tried it yet?
No but it sounds like a great idea. I've used concrete materials and heat sinks but nothing ceramic or out of clay yet. Have considered an adobe style bat house. Doug are you considering a complete bat house made in one step with these materials or multiple steps with clay/ceramic partitions which will be placed inside separately?
I was considering the separate piece idea. Slide things together like a kit or at least the interior could be complete and then slid into the house. a cylinder shape would probably be the strongest option. It may prove to be a little too fragile/costly/labor intesive... unfortunately.
