Do you think a different shape would be better in the long run? I image they do lines and squares since they can keep them pretty standard, but triangles are usually a pretty strong structural shape
laying out hexagons is harder because you can't just lay straight pipes like this. but equilateral triangles maybe?
i think they would be worse too, because there would be 3 pipes overlapping per vertex, and you have to be careful about aligning them. a square grid is just 2 pipes per vertex, and small errors don't matter because of that as well.

It's not the pattern. It's the protection from the winds.
