Can you answer jersey_pimp609’s question about Canopies?:
The base of the tent is 1.8 meters and the height is 1.2 meters. Whats the area that the netting must cover?

Canopies Feedback: Area = 1/2 base x height
= 1/2 x 1.8 x 1.2
= 1.08m2
But fabric is probably sold by the metre – I would get a couple of metres to allow you to attach it!
Canopies Feedback: To figure out the area of a triangle, you multiply one half the base times the height.
1/2 x 1.8 x 1.2 = 1.08 m^2
