Wanting about 5 bat houses to hang up around the property if anyone is building them. I just started doing some research and know they should be 24” high x 16” wide. Would prefer them made from cedar or other non quick rotting wood. Let me know what you have w/ price please.
 
Here are two for 29 bucks?

I remember seeing plans for them that worked with available precut wood sizes at Lowes/Home depot and a pack of screws. I think it required two cuts, one to cut the top piece in half and another for the off cut to make the diagonal sides. Both could be made with a jigsaw or even a handsaw if that's what you have.
 

Bat houses that size will be expensive. You can make your own pretty simply and cheaper using cedar fence boards. Not that difficult, but are somewhat labor intensive, thus the high price.

I am unable to make them. Health issues...
