The shed has been named the Taylor Wood Pavilion and will house more than 100 exhibitors.
It has been named in honour of field days foundation member Milton Taylor, of Henty, and Table Top’s Colin Wood, who served as chairman for three decades.
Country Lifestyle co-ordinator Lyn Jacobsen said exhibitors and visitors would appreciate the firm, all-weather flooring, wide pedestrian aisles and weather-proof comfort.
This year 105 exhibitors with more than 481m of shop front have taken sites in the Country Lifestyle pavilion.
The huge new shed measures 120 metres by 18 metres and was built to house the expanding section of the field days.
“This is the beginning of a long term vision to provide sustainability for the co-operative through utilisation of the considerable infrastructure on the site outside of the field days,’’ HMFD CEO Belinda Anderson said.
The pavilion will also provide a venue which can be used at the site all year.
A rainwater tank will also be installed which will provide water across the site and can be used for fire fighting.
An official open will be held on Tuesday September 20 at 2pm.
