A2 landscape triangle grid paper
This A2 landscape template uses equilateral triangles with 10mm sides and a flat-base starting phase created by shifting the first diagonal row on a 420 x 594 mm page. It is ready to download, print, or customize.
Template details
A2 provides four times the area of A4 for technical drawings, classroom displays, and projects that need a large metric grid. Each equilateral triangle has 10mm sides and a perpendicular height of approximately 8.7 mm.
The flat-base option shifts the first diagonal row by half a triangle side, changing the phase visible at the upper grid edge. The centered grid area is approximately 570 x 398.4 mm, with 57 x 46 side-width and row-height intervals forming about 5,244 complete or edge-clipped triangular cells.
A 10mm triangle grid provides larger cells for bold constructions, labels, classroom demonstrations, quilting layouts, and designs that need more drawing room.
Use the three 60-degree line directions for equilateral triangles, rhombi, hexagons, symmetry exercises, transformations, and repeating geometric patterns.
The 10mm triangles support quilting plans, bead and mosaic patterns, triangular maps, pixel-style designs, and technical sketches built from equal-sided units.
The flat-base option shifts the first diagonal row by half a triangle side, changing the phase visible at the upper grid edge. The geometry stays the same, so choose the phase that makes the top of your drawing or pattern easiest to begin.
Both formats preserve the same 10mm side length and flat-base starting phase. Choose A2 for large plans, displays, and technical drawings; choose A3 when engineering sketches and larger diagrams better matches the printer or project.

Use the PDF when the physical triangle dimensions matter. The side length and 60-degree geometry are preserved when the printer uses the correct paper and scale settings.
Load 420 x 594 mm paper and select A2 in the print dialog. A large-format printer may be required.
Select Actual Size or 100% scale. Turn off Fit, Shrink, and Scale to Page options.
Keep the print dialog set to landscape so the grid is not rotated or reduced automatically.
Use a ruler to confirm that one horizontal triangle side measures 10mm.

Answers specific to printing 10mm flat-base triangle grid paper on A2.
The listed size is the length of every side of each equilateral triangle. Its perpendicular height is approximately 8.7 mm.
This landscape template forms about 5,244 complete or edge-clipped triangular cells inside a centered 570 x 398.4 mm grid area.
Both options have identical triangle dimensions and line directions. Flat base shifts the first diagonal row by half a side, changing which phase begins at the upper edge of the grid.
Select A2 paper, use Actual Size or 100% scale, and disable Fit to Page. Then verify that one horizontal side measures 10mm.
Portrait works well for worksheets, vertical patterns, and notebook-style diagrams. Landscape provides more horizontal room for wide constructions, maps, quilts, and classroom demonstrations.
