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
