SUMMER ‘SHADE ’ ED IT IO N
Park Tavern Steak House
From the Editor! Welcome to the Summer edition of the Weather Report. In this edition I’d like to concentrate on the shade side of things coz I really reckon that this year is going to be a Summer Scorcher and we have many varied ways of providing shade and keeping this a bit cooler without maxing out your airconditioner (and the bank account). Congratulations to Rosemary Ricetti who won the Spot the Difference competition and who picked up a $100 fuel voucher from our friends at City and Regional Fuels the local BP distributor. The competition was really popular with heaps of entries so we will have another Spot the Difference in the Autumn Weather Report. We were the victims of the dreaded hackers with our spot the difference web site being hacked the second day it was up so sorry to all those who tried to enter online. Hopefully we will be back to normal for our Autumn comp.
and clients a very happy Christmas and New Year. I’d like to thank you for using WeatherSafe WA for all your outdoor weather protection products and look forward to seeing you throughout 2013. We have some exciting things planned for next year, new products and promotions that I would love to keep all my past and present clients involved.
This summer I thought I would throw in something for the Kids so there is a colouring in competition to keep the kids amused and keep them out of mums hair for the odd nanosecond these summer holidays.
Anyway have a great summer and don’t get sun burnt! Regards
Search for Ricky and Mickey on You tube to get some hints. Two $25 gift vouchers up for grabs from my mates Richard and Harvey at Toyworld for the best boy and girl entry. Finally I would like to wish all my friends, colleagues

Span Shade Structures Weathersafe Span Shade Structures are a versatile fully framed self-supporting shade structure. Recently benefiting from several design improvements and suitably sized from 3m square up to 20m wide by any length (yes any length is possible), these structures are fully engineered and are perfect for sandpits and covering playground equipment.
New improved corner tensioning system
Covered with ‘Monotec Shade cloth, arguably the strongest shadecloth on the planet and the only shade cloth manufactured in Australia, the newly revamped Span Shade is a very cost effective method of shade. Our new improved corner tensioning system along with WeatherSafe’s ultra-strong corners and perimeter wire, ensures that the shadecloth membrane is continually tight and easy to maintain tension and that means no flapping and peace of mind. Double Span shade systems allow for extensions to any length and double up to reduce the poles used.
Our unique corners are super strong!

Tips For Filling Up Your Car We run five company vehicles at WeatherSafe and with the high price of fuel I’m always looking for ways to minimize my costs. Here are a few tips a friend of mine who runs a petrol station gave me to pass on.
1. Only fill up your ca r in the early morning when the ground tem perature is still cold. This is especially importa nt in the hot Summer months. You se e all Service Stations have their storage tank s buried beneath the ground. The colder the ground th e more dense the fuel. When it gets warm er petrol expands, so buying in the afternoon or evening, your litre is not exactly a litre. In the petroleum busines s, the specific gravity and the temperature of the petrol, diesel, jet fuel, ethanol and other petroleum products play an important role. A one degree rise in te mperature is a big deal in this business but the Service Stations do not have temperature co mpensation at the pumps.
up do not squeeze 2. When you are filling le to a fast mode. the trigger of the nozz that the trigger has If you look you will see iddle and high. three (3) stages; low, m ode because this Always pump in slow m that are created minimises the vapours All hoses at the while you are pumping. turn.

working order.

5. If there is a fuel truck pumping into storage tanks when you stop to buy, DO NOT FILL UP. Most likely the petrol/diesel is being stirred up as the fuel is being delivered and you might pick up some dirt that normally settles on the bottom. I hope this will help you get the most value for your money.

Koppers Logs Car Park Shade Sails The team at Koppers Logs, had a huge outdoor parking area where the employees all parked. Not only were there no parking bays marked but it was an extremely hot and dusty area. Graeme, the manager, and Mark came up with a design that would fit into the area and give a bit of order for the guys when parking the cars. We, of course used Koppers logs for our upright poles, and built a huge Carnival tent style structure that not only looks great but provides excellent shade. As we always recommend we used dark
green Monotec Shadecloth, the strongest shadecloth on the planet, to match Koppers corporate colours. The finished structure was approx. 18m x 10m.
Park Tavern Steak House! Several years ago when the Park Tavern was redeveloped WeatherSafe was commissioned to build outdoor shade areas for the two alfresco areas. At the time they were built from shadecloth to provide some respite from the weather mainly for smokers. As the popularity of the Tavern grew it was necessary to make these two areas usable all year round and so we built all weather waterproof structures over the top of the existing shade sails. We built the Waterproof membrane over the Rogan Josh alfresco area several years ago and just this year we completed the waterproof membrane over the new Steak house restaurant. Made from Ferrari 502, a long lasting PVC designed specifically for tension membrane structures, the result has transformed the alfresco area and made it possible to cater for more than 20 extra patrons. We filled the side walls with clear PVC blinds to make it the ideal area to have quality alfresco dining no matter what the weather is like.
And I can seriously recommend the Steak house restaurant. We have had several personal and staffs do’s there. The food is great and service is excellent. You can find the Steak house on the corner of Brittain Rd and Bussel Highway at the entrance to the Park Centre.
