A Practical Guide to

Building Your Sukkah—Part 2

What Size:

A sukkah must be between 40” and 31’ 5” in

height and have an area of at least 28” x 28”.

Roofing (S’chach):

There must be enough s’chach to cover the

majority of the roof area such that when the

sun is directly overhead, the majority of the

floor must be shaded. There is no maximum

to how much s’chach one can put. However, if

the s’chach is placed in such a way that even

in a heavy rainstorm, water will not enter the

sukkah, it is invalid. The s’chach should not

rest on metal poles; rather, they should be laid

on wooden beams, which can be supported

by metal, if needed. Each piece of s’chach may

be no wider than one square foot.

Walls:

The walls must be sturdy enough that a

normal wind (approximately 20mph) will not

move them back and forth. Extra care must be

taken when using cloth for walls that they

meet this requirement. A sukkah should ideal-

ly have three complete and solid walls that

connect to each other, the ground, and the

s’chach at all points. If this is not feasible,

contact your Rav for specific guidance.

Decorations:

While it is praiseworthy to beautify the

sukkah, care must be taken to ensure that

ceiling decora-

tions remain

within one foot

of the s’chach.

Mezuza:

A mezuza is not

placed on the

doorway of a

sukkah.

An Indoor Sukkah:

One may remove the roof of his home and lay

down s’chach to create a kosher sukkah as

long as all the specifications for a kosher

sukkah are met (i.e. area, walls, etc.). One

must make sure the roof is removed before

placing the s’chach on top.

Notes: This column is not comprehensive; It is

recommended that you ask your Rav to visually

inspect your sukkah or at least discuss it with

him. Source sheets for this and prior columns,

including “A Practical Guide to Building

Your Sukkah—Part 1” can be found at

ahavastorah.org/sources.
