Market Stalls Frequently Asked Questions

Our Market Stalls are manufactured from 25mm x 25mm x 2mm hollow rolled section steel tubing.

The majority of our Market Stall counter boards are made from 9mm exterior grade water-resistant plywood. Step Display and Flower Market Stall boards are made from an 18mm plywood for greater strength.

If you've never assembled a Market Stall before we recommend you allow yourself up to 30 minutes to put the stall together. This should give you enough time to familiarise yourself with the stall design, its components and the way it goes together. The more times you assembponents and the way it goes together. The more times you assemble the stall the quicker and easier you'll find you'll find the process. With experience a Standard Traditional Market Stall can be assembled in less than 5 minutes. You can find assembly diagrams for all our Market Stalls in the Resources Section.

Our General Purpose Walk-In Market Stall has a ground rail whereas our Fashion Market Stall has a waist rail which is used in conjunction with our Hanger Brackets to effectively display fashion garments. Our Fashion Market Stall also has a 2ft front overhang to help protect products and customers from the elements.

Market Stall Extension bars can be used to increase the size of the overhang or length of the ridge and eave bars on our Traditional Market Stalls.

An overhang refers to an additional roof section that extends over the front and/or rear legs of a Market Stall.

Heavy duty covers are approximately 1/3 thicker and heavier and more hard wearing than the standard weight covers and are normally preferred by professional traders. The advantage of a standard weight cover is that they are lighter and cheaper and if an inexperienced trader accidentally punches a hole in the sheet with a clip or stall bar it is cheaper to replace, this is the reason they are sent out with our starter kits.

When people think of a Market Stall they usually picture something like our Standard Traditonal Market Stall which can be found on markets nationwide. This is essentially the 'standard'. However, pitch sizes vary from market to market and region to region. For example, London pitches tend to be smaller, between 6ft to 8ft in length, whereas in the midlands they are usually between 10ft and 12ft and in Scotland they're more likely to be 12ft. Check with the market operator for full details. Size restrictions aside it also depends greatly upon what you're selling, for instance gold and jewellery would suit a smaller Market Stall of 6ft to 10ft in length whereas womens' fashion may require a Market Stall of 20ft or more.
