Farmer’s Market

Summertime is the perfect time of the year for farmers’ markets and other kinds of food vendors, and year after year they are often held outdoors with mostly wooden vendor stands. While this might harken back to a particular rustic aesthetic that we commonly associate with farmers’ markets, it’s important to acknowledge how inconvenient this can sometimes be. Because it’s a seasonal market, there is a certain level of construction and take down that usually happens in addition to the fact that throughout the summer months might present heavy rains that make a fully outdoor farmers’ market difficult. This is what makes prefab steel buildings an excellent choice to address at least some of those issues. Just like most other uses, prefab steel structures are flexible in a wide variety of ways so it’s important to figure out which ones work best. Here are just a few reasons why prefab steel is an excellent option for a farmers’ market.

 

Protective

More than anything else, prefab steel buildings offer unparalleled protection to things like farmers’ markets and vendor spaces. Steel can stand up to elements like poor weather conditions, pests, and even fire. This makes for an excellent space for these kinds of markets because that means they can continue rain or shine because patrons will have the ability to shop under a covering. It’s important to have this option while also having a structure that’s flexible enough in its design to also let plenty of sunlight in.

 

Easy Construction & Takedown

An important part of any farmers’ market is its ability to be put up quickly. Typically, the switch from spring to summer happens pretty fast, and usually you won’t have weeks of time to construct a building for the purpose of a farmers’ market. Steel buildings can be put up in just a matter of days and be ready in time to use when you need it. Because steel is highly recyclable and our buildings are built using a simple DIY bolt method, it’s also simple to take down when need be. Consider leaving the structure up instead to use in other ways as opposed to taking the whole thing down. It might be less tedious and time-consuming than a structure made from wood, but it can still be a lot of work that might not be entirely necessary.

 

Flexible

One great thing about prefab steel buildings is how flexible the structures are. Not only to set up the layout in any way that you’d like, but also to be able to use the structure for other things during a season when your farmers’ market may not be open. The warmer months are the optimal times for farmers’ markets and other types of special vendor spaces, so the end of summer presents the dilemma of having to leave it empty or use it in other ways. Luckily, steel buildings are flexible enough that you can leave your structure up to be used in a whole host of other ways instead.

 

Low Maintenance

When it comes to keeping prefab steel buildings in good shape, they are luckily one of the most low maintenance structure types on the market. This is important because it allows the structure and market owner to focus on the individual vendors in the space to ensure that their experiences are positive ones instead of being tied into constant repairs of the structure itself.
