Early in the morning..

Not sure what got into me, but I woke up early enough to peek at the farmers market in San Francisco:
 What originally was a hunt for fresh food became a focus on the many structures throughout the area.
Surprisingly a lot of the tents followed a similar protocol, but they seemed impractical to set up within a rainy/windy situation.

Apart from what looks like a flimsy sense of security, these tents seemed fairly nice.
They're quick to set up yet wide open, allowing customers from all view points.

What I was mainly wondering , do these groups have to follow a specific protocol when using tents for a farmers market?
Because I can see a circular tent being both far more attractive and efficient in displaying food. 

Even the hinges could be applied to a more circular design:

There would still be four main posts, but I just think a circular tent would flow with a much less obtrusive aesthetic. Plus, the tent could fold in as an umbrella AND easily add a curtain option incase it's raining.
