At 4.3 metres long, The Colonel is slightly longer than the two 4 m x 4 m King Shelters Landmark Products supplied for his holding pen. Installation of these two shelters took a little longer than normal because The Colonel could only be removed for six hours a day, once a week, after being tempted into a holding pen next door by a juicy carcass.
Landmark also supplied two beautifully modified King Shelters, designed for aesthetics and to provide maximum shelter to visitors. The roof of the modified King shelters, installed at the side of The Colonel’s pen, are cantilevered at 80% instead of the standard 90% providing more shade. The front of the roof is insulted with Cooldek, giving even greater protection from the sun’s heat.
Laser cut aluminium panels featuring a wheat-inspired pattern, layered by 3 mm UV (ultra-violet) stabilized Lexan sheeting make these shelters truly unique. Due to the location in northern Queensland, all four shelters are designed to C2 (W50) wind loads and are secured by in-ground base plates for maximum strength.
