Why do you think the 28" + 6" side wont fit against the tower on the batter? Is your 28" the width or length?
By square I mean rectangular.

31 wide 28 long, though we're working now with more of a trapezoid shape, with angled sides. I'm not entirely sure why this design wouldn't fit onto the batter. Maybe it'd get stuck on the large, angled surface?
