What's the point of a triangular awning?
Spinning it very fast would cause a stroboscopic effect, then you'd get all the myths about skin cancer, reflecting things to pilots, etc.

Triangular awnings are more to the taste of design professionals. You're not wrong about their utility. Why would you say a triangle looks better than a rectangle? They're just two different shapes. A triangle looks like a sail. It even has "sail" in the name. Sails remind people of the boat the family owns, and how rich they are. OtOH, if they're poor, they may not have 4 places to tie the awning, and triangular only requires 3. Really poor people have to use pencil shaped awnings. No, those with only ONE place to tie to use a KITE Have you ever tried to fly a one string kite? You need two to steer. |

Much easier to hang than a rectangle - any 3 points will work. 3 is not much less than 4. Think about why 3 wheeled cars are very unpopular. |

Especially since often the ground may not be even. An extra leg would hold an expensive camera a lot better. Computer chairs are now 5 legs/wheels. Ever sat on one of the old 4s? Even easier to tip over. Although with any number of legs I always manage to get the top of the back of my shoe caught under a leg, stand up, and send it flying behind me. A colleague once thought I was doing it in temper. |

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. |
