Poster landscape triangle grid paper
This Poster landscape template uses equilateral triangles with 10mm sides and a point-up starting phase in the repeating equilateral-triangle grid on a 18 x 24 inch page. It is ready to download, print, or customize.
Template details
Poster paper creates a large continuous grid for work that needs to be viewed, marked, or discussed from a distance. Each equilateral triangle has 10mm sides and a perpendicular height of approximately 8.7 mm.
The point-up option starts the diagonal line pattern in the phase that places an upward-pointing triangle at the upper grid edge. The centered grid area is approximately 580 x 433.0 mm, with 58 x 50 side-width and row-height intervals forming about 5,800 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 point-up option starts the diagonal line pattern in the phase that places an upward-pointing triangle 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 point-up starting phase. Choose Poster for wall charts, maps, displays, and large plans; choose Tabloid (11 x 17) when large handouts, plans, and presentation sheets 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.
Select an 18 x 24 inch custom or poster page size. Use a large-format printer or a print service that supports this sheet.
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 point-up triangle grid paper on Poster.
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 5,800 complete or edge-clipped triangular cells inside a centered 580 x 433.0 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 Poster 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.
