The Sukkah is now completed except for decorations. Above are different views of the completed Sukkah. Keeping the schach in place today was difficutl as the wind was, at times, quite fierce and managed to upset the bamboo mats. For tomorrow, it is up to the children to do the decorations.

I'm very happy with the Sukkah Project and their extremely practical plan. Once the frame is up the Sukkah is extremely sturdy and the walls can really be any material you want.

The darker wood on the (now) closed side of the Sukkah are two horizontal plywood sheets that had been walls on my previous Sukkah. The frames from these sheets were removed.

Great job!!

In terms of the schach mats blowing off (generally it's just the edges), I've had that problem for the past two years since Aaron and I built our new sukkah. What I thought of doing this year is to place some of the bamboo poles from my old sukkah on each end of the mats. That should help keep the edges down.

OR... Here's an alternate suggestion!

Good Yom Tov.

Nice job. We're also using a homemade plywood sukkah (going on 12 years I think) but we anchor it to the house for support.

We used the bamboo mat but it got really groaty after a couple of years. Now we just use poles. Have a good yontif.
