Buying a Market Umbrella
Market umbrellas were traditionally created to shield merchants with booths or kiosks such as farmers market stalls or food vendors from the sun while trading. They could often be found at temporary spaces like crafts fairs or market stalls and typically had an octagonal shape.
Market umbrellas provide long-term sun and rain protection in fixed outdoor locations, thanks to canopies of fabric stretched over spoked ribs that diffuse sunlight while protecting from UV radiation.
