Good point. I'm rethinking my strategy. Henche's instructions are very clear but it does seem like it will be very heavy. I'm probably going to email the people from incidas link and ask them about modifying there design.
i use that sukkah project sukkah and am very happy with it. The instructions are very straightforward and easy to follow. They send you a box with all the braces and screws and then you go out and buy the lumber, lattice, zip ties and schach. I have a friend who bought the braces himself and he told me that it cost the same amount from lowes I.e. He wasn't saving anything by not going through them.
Keep in mind I live in Florida and lattice is perfect for my walls. Would you prefer panels up north?
