Garners are half-timbered buildings that serve as temporary granaries during harvest times, as exchange points between farmers with their produce and carters who carry it away to markets. In temperate climates, they only see use from late July until the first week of December; they're not ordinarily used to store food through the winter, spring and early summer. Garners are important buildings in thorps and hamlets; they occur as auxiliary buildings around granaries in larger centers, specifically for use during the harvest glut.
