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.
