Default What's the point of a triangular awning?

Clearly designed to shield people from sun and rain. But isn't
rectangular more sensible? Triangles have those narrow corners in
three places where they shield virtually nothing.

Rectangular awnings are stodgy and boring. Triangular awnings are
more to the taste of design professionals.

You're not wrong about their utility.

Pah, have a rectangular one with a pretty picture on it then. A
triangular one shields virtually nothing so's utterly pointless.
You
wouldn't buy a pretty car that doesn't start.


16ft*3 isn't small is it? Depending on angles, that could create a
large
shadow area.

With three very narrow parts.

With angles and distance those 'narrow shadows' could be on the
nextdoor
property.

Which would what, cause a court case?



Cover your legs, which will be in your own property under a bigger
shadow.


How can a shadow cover a shadow?



My response was to the fact that someone said a triangle creates a
narrowing shade which will not cover the whole body. And yes, a shadow
can cover another shadow.
