@AsherO

I would like a list of potential pitfalls. This is not the Shulchan Aruch here, but to raise awareness, so people will know to look into it, or ask their rabbi.

You're making me nervous now (not for myself, but someone who asked me if their setup is good). 2 house walls and a 3rd that's deck railing/fencing, where the 4th wall is tarps that are unlikely tight enough to be kosher - is there a tzad the deck/railing wall forces you to put lavud strings on the 4th wall? And if there's a tzad is does, is there whom to rely on not to?

Yes, depending on how it’s built.
And if there's a tzad is does, is there whom to rely on not to?
The שבט הלוי is meikal that if one ends up with such a sukka he may make a bracha.

There can be various factors that influence this, so take a pic and ask a LOR.

A Sukka made with lavud strings can’t consist of of 3 walls. It needs all 4 walls. I’ve seen this mistake made a number of times.

See משנ״ב סימן תר״ל סק״ז
Isn't this talking about vertical? And what everyone uses in their sukkah is usually horizontal.

No, it’s a problem if it’s only vertical, or only horizontal.

דְּתַנְיָא: הָעוֹשֶׂה סוּכָּתוֹ בְּרֹאשׁ הַסְּפִינָה — רַבָּן גַּמְלִיאֵל פּוֹסֵל, וְרַבִּי עֲקִיבָא מַכְשִׁיר.

מַעֲשֶׂה בְּרַבָּן גַּמְלִיאֵל וְרַבִּי עֲקִיבָא שֶׁהָיוּ בָּאִין בִּסְפִינָה, עָמַד רַבִּי עֲקִיבָא וְעָשָׂה סוּכָּה בְּרֹאשׁ הַסְּפִינָה. לְמָחָר נָשְׁבָה רוּחַ וַעֲקָרַתָּה. אָמַר לוֹ רַבָּן גַּמְלִיאֵל: עֲקִיבָא! הֵיכָן סוּכָּתְךָ?

If Yaaleh V'Yavo is forgotten in Shemonah Esrei during Chol Hamoed, one must repeat Shemonah Esrei even if it's by Mariv.

Easy to forget during hakafos -

One should not kiss their children in shul (even if they are very cute).

According to Rav Dovid Feinstein ZT"L, it's only an issue during Davening, Which is why it's in הלכות תפילה not כבוד בהכ"נ.
Small people talk about other people.
Average people talk about things
BIG PEOPLE TALK ABOUT IDEAS.
