This example shows how to create a pyramid using borders and 2D transformation methods skewY() and rotate() on pseudo elements.

HTML:

CSS:

.pyramid {
  width: 100px;
  height: 200px;
  position: relative;
  margin: 50px;
}

.pyramid::before,.pyramid::after {
  content: '';
  display: inline-block;
  width: 0;
  height: 0;
  border: 50px solid;
  position: absolute;
}

.pyramid::before {
  border-color: transparent transparent #ff5656 transparent;
  transform: scaleY(2) skewY(-40deg) rotate(45deg);
}

.pyramid::after {
  border-color: transparent transparent #d64444 transparent;
  transform: scaleY(2) skewY(40deg) rotate(-45deg);
}
