ABOUT US:
As owners of The Ark Workshop, we’ve been designing and building wildlife housing & feeders for over 30 years. We’ve been fortunate to have had many of our products sold in popular retail chains in the United States.  When creating houses or feeders, our primary focus is to create designs that will be used by specific wildlife.  Much research and time goes into that.  We’ve literally spent years refining every design.  We’ve found that there are certain features a house/feeder needs to have for wildlife to accept it, use it, and then return to use it again!  Through our personal experiences, thousands of customer correspondences, and years of research … we’ve discovered some valuable insights that have helped us create these wildlife-specific products.   Whenever possible, we always try to include a picture of the product in use so that you know that is has a proven track record. Thanks for considering our items and for visiting our shop.  We hope we can be of service to you today!  Mark & Jane.

PRODUCT  DESCRIPTION:
Are you thinking about putting up a BAT HOUSE?   Bats certainly eat up a lot of insects
…… especially mosquitoes.  However,
before investing a lot of money on a bat house mansion, perhaps “test out
the waters” with this starter Bat House. 
Once you get bats, you can put up a larger version or add more of these
and spread them out over your property.
According to experts, the most common reason a bat house
does not get occupied is because it is too cold and drafty.  Therefore,
bat warmth is everything!
Bats like a house that is warm.  That’s why many bats end up finding their way
into attics.  They’re attracted to the
heat.  Our Bat House has a unique feature
that helps it maintain the proper interior temperature that bats require.  The roof is protected with a fiberglass
shingled roof that absorbs heat and maintains interior temperature that bats
like.  Each house is handcrafted and has
been built to the specifications to accommodate bats.  It easily attaches to any tree, house,
building, or post.  The interior is
grooved so that bats can cling.
We use all 3 fasteners with each house ….  Nails, screws, and glue:  Mother Nature is tough on outdoor items.  Nails alone are not enough, glue alone is not
enough, and screws alone might be ok. 
However, we go ahead and use all 3 to create a very durable item which
comes fully assembled & ready to use upon arrival.   We create a durable roof for house
longevity.  The roof receives the most
wear and tear on an outdoor item. 
Therefore, we focus special attention on making durable roofs with all
our products.  Take care of the roof and
then the house underneath lasts longer….. Just like in the homes we live in.  We include a FREE info card that shares Fun
Facts and how to get your house full of bats.  
Why a Bat House (you might be asking)? 
Well, bats eat a lot of insects (up to 5000 each night) and this then
provides a natural way of controlling your local insect population —
especially mosquitoes.  Each house accommodates
approximately 20 bats.   We were one of
the first to offer bat houses on eBay approx. 20 years ago.  We’re glad to continue that tradition and we
hope you will try an Ark Workshop Bat House today.
Fun Fact:  DID YOU
KNOW that: Female bats join up together to form a “nursery
colony”.  The colony all work
together to care for and raise the baby bats. 
Even with hundreds of baby bats to care for, a mother bat still
recognizes her own young.

a
2 CHAMBER BAT HOUSE …. Holds approx. 20
bats.  Our unique inner chamber
construction allows bats to move from the front chamber to the back while
inside the house.  This is important
because it enables the bats to control their body temperature and move to the
areas of the house where they feel most comfortable.

PROCESSING
& SHIPPING TIME:
What’s
Processing Time?  When a customer orders from us, we are currently working
on prior orders. Since we make the items we sell (not a buy/ship seller), our
days consist of building product, shipping, & email communications. These
activities easily fill up a day and we need processing time to keep everything
in balance and operating smoothly.  It’s not your order that requires the 5
business days but the orders prior to yours that are needing their processing.
 Also know that we always try to mover orders through for quicker arrival
times.  However we will not rush through an order for the sake of getting
to the next one.  We want each customer to receive the quality item that
they’re expecting.  Thank you!
ABOUT
US:
The
Ark Workshop has been in business since 1992 …. Over 20 years.  We focus
our efforts on designing and manufacturing “unique designs for the
outdoors”.   When we first started, we sold products in popular
retail chains in the United States.  Our products have been sold in stores
such as ACE  HARDWAREs, MEIJERs, HWI  DO-IT CENTERs, popular GROCERY
 STOREs, GIFTS SHOPs, & POPULAR  TRADE & CRAFT
 SHOWs.   We just want you to know that these products are of
store quality and have passed the stringent standards of retailers!  We’re
offering close-to-wholesale pricing.  All items come with informative
product tags and information that will help you fully enjoy your
purchase.  If you require more information, just email us and we’ll be
happy to answer your questions.
The
Ark Workshop is a family owned business.  We initially were working in
corporate healthcare but wanted a career that would enable us to spend more
time as a family.  Taking a leap-of-faith,  we left our secure jobs
and tried to find such a profession.   In between interviews, we kept
busy woodworking and making unique items for our lawn and garden. Then one day,
a passing motorist noticed one of our designs and stopped to see if we would be
willing to make one for her. We agreed and, before long, we started getting a
few more orders from others. After a while, we began interviewing less and
building more.  Before we knew it, we had a couple weeks of orders and we
started to consider the possibility of pursuing this as our occupation.  Through prayer and hard work, we started to
grow this business and we call it
THE
ARK  WORKSHOP
(after Noah and The Ark).  We give all
thanks to God for allowing us to pursue this dream.  GIVE US A TRY so we
can show you that we work hard to earn your business!

VERSE:
“Look
at the birds of the air; they do not sow or reap or store away in barns, and
yet your heavenly Father feeds them.  Are you not much more valuable than
they?  Who of you by worrying can add a single hour to his
life?”
