How does that help with wind? My neighbour just put one up and it's flapping about the same as a rectangular one would. In fact I'd say the more anchor points, the sturdier it is, a professional large one with about 12 anchor points stays still in the highest winds. And if it doesn't actually shield much, might as well not have it at all.

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.

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

Also worth noting that a rectangular awning is about twice the size of a

Not sure what you mean by that. Chances are the area you're trying to shade is a rectangle. Makes sense to shade that using a rectangle. Size is whatever size you buy the fabric. And with a triangle, a good proportion of it is too narrow to achieve anything.

No trees at all. South facing wall would provide the anchor point for
two points of the triangle, and a pole and guy cord would be needed
for the third corner.

Depends on the situation, the rectangular ones don't
always have enough places to tie the corners to.

Triangles have those narrow corners in three places where they shield
virtually nothing.

Yes, but some places don't have anywhere to tie
the 4 corners to so triangular is better than nothing.

Wrong because of the reduced area.

But more sail area.

Staying still isnt what matters.

Yes.

might as well not have it at all.

and only one tree?

I only have one tree in the back yard because
it's a passive solar house with the back of the
house facing north.

typical, troll-feeding, senile asshole, blathered:


No trees at all.

Nope, you troll-feeding senile ASSHOLE! It's NO brain for you and him!

TYPICAL retarded "conversation" between sociopath Rodent and sociopath
Birdbrain from August 26th 2018:

Birdbrain: "I have one head but 5 fingers."

Senile Rodent: "Obvious lie. You hairy legged cross dressers are so inbred
that you all have two heads."

Birdbrain: "You're the one that likes hairy legs remember?"

Senile Rodent: "The problem isnt the hairy legs, it's the gross inbreeding
that
produces two headed unemployables like you."

Birdbrain: "So why did you mention hairy legs?"

Senile Rodent: "Because that's what those who arent actually stupid enough
to shave their legs have."

Birdbrain: "You only have hairy legs if both of the following are true:
1) You're quite far back on the evolutionary scale.
2) You haven't learned what a razor is for."

Senile Rodent: "Only a terminal ****wit or a woman shaves their legs."

Birdbrain: "There is literally zero point in having hair all over your
body."

Senile Rodent: "There is even less point in wasting your time changing what
you are born with."

just the fact that we're capable of digesting meat?"

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.

Wind resistance? They have to survive in bad weather.

How does that help with wind? My neighbour just put one up and it's
flapping about the same as a rectangular one would. In fact I'd say the
more anchor points, the sturdier it is, a professional large one with
about 12 anchor points stays still in the highest winds. And if it
doesn't actually shield much, might as well not have it at all.

One less pole :-)

What pole? You can tie two corners to a shed or house, and the other(s)
to a tree or fence etc. Don't tell me you have a house with no shed or
fence and only one tree?

No trees at all. South facing wall would provide the anchor point for
two points of the triangle, and a pole and guy cord would be needed
for the third corner.

Only Australians seem to have a collection of eucalyptus trees
around their houses.

Most people have some kind of trees in their garden. I guess you hate wildlife or something?

If not, no fence? Shed? Or just use two poles, then end up with a shade that actually serves a purpose? A triangular one is easier but useless.

Much easier to hang than a rectangle - any 3 points will work.

Rectangular awnings are stodgy and boring. 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

I don't know why designers (interior, fashion, etc.) think even 1%
of the things they think.

If you spun it very fast it could protect a much larger area!
If you made it into a pyramid you could sharpen razor blades under it or
sell it as a piece of modern art work.
