I was able to generate the shape I want using css (using borders), but I'd know like to map a background on it. I tried a few solutions but I didn't found anything working in CSS.
You'll find an example there: http://codepen.io/jmorel/full/rIDAe
Is there any way (other than using images for the shapes) that I can extend the stripes background to my .top and .bottom divs while preserving the shape ?
Basically the trick to making a CSS based triangle use the border-image property and actually get the expected appearance seems to lay largely in the image used.
The CSS I used last time I did this goes something like this.
I'm sure that could be thinned out some , but at the time I just wanted to see if I could do it, however I might be revisiting it soon as I want a pyramid for one of my css3 3d things.
As I was mentioning , the trick seems at least to me to be mostly in the image , specifically the corner pieces for the lower left and lower right corners in the border image. These corners themselves need to have their squares contain 1/2 transparent and 1/2 pattern at the appropriate 45 degree angles for the two bottom corners of the triangle.
With the properly made image , it's fairly straight forward after that.
Hi everybody !

I sure hope there is, I'm rubbish with Photoshop.
I don't know much about border-image, but here's a good place to start:

If you have created the shapes using borders then no. I feel that you might be able to do something with pseudo elements and gradients.
Unfortunately I am on my phone at the moment but I'll look at it later if I have time

@yoyo Are you actually reading the posts? @Paulie_D explained why using borders for the triangles is not a legitimate option in this situation.
@Paulie_D thanks for the idea. I looked into it but I don't think it'll work. I'll have to switch to images unfortunately.
Maybe this can help: http://dabblet.com/gist/4013914. Although this is not quite what you're looking for.
