The floor of the superior lumbar triangle is the transversalis fascia and its roof is the external abdominal oblique muscle.
The muscular floor of posterior triangle is covered by prevertebral layer of deep cervical fascia which creates the fascial carpeting of the floor of the posterior triangle it creates axillary sheath around subclavian artery and brachial plexus going from the root of the neck to the upper limb.
The roof is formed from the skin fascia and platysma.
