You cut super chunks by cutting 2x4 insulation in half, then cut each 2x2 piece diagonally, resulting in 4 triangular pieces all with the same dimensions and yes the long front face will be 24 inches.
You should do at least 2/3rds of height available, from the ceiling down, which will also help control the two tri-corners behind your monitors and monitoring position.
As you will have to support their weight , you might as well make them full height and for the sake of two extra triangular tops and bottoms, I ‘dcsuggest you make two per side and stack them.
Bottom one make 48 inches tall, second remaining height to ceiling. Consider if you wants them on wheels: just bottom one and that if you stack them, you will be able to just slide top one in place resting in bottom one and this will make them more mobile if you ever have to relocate.
In terms of fabric cover , I’d suggest you plan on using rigid insulation on front, fluffy behind . The rigid can be cut slightly oversized so you get a compression fit on inside of box and then you can use spray adhesive on back to keep fabric in place: easier than building a frame etc..
Adding the rigid on front also let’s you increase the depth in 1-3 inch dimensions and increase the absorption significantly, if you do this remember to add in the extra depth in the lengths of the two sides to the triangular frame you will need to build.
One other idea is, I just found a really good diy video fir building a diaghramic curved corner bass trap that also acts as a diffuser and uses sheet metal as face, insulation behind.
Let me know, if you’d like link to diy video.
