Best Sukkah?

[yesitsme]

Personal experience with any of them ? I'm in the market

Me too

I was going to buy....
Leiter sukka someone piped up "What it's too expensive, Buy the traditional panel sukka for 3rd of the price, $30 panel",

I was going to buy the traditional panel sukka, someone piped up "What you're buying panels just buy quarter inch 4x8 plywood from home depot let them cut it in half with a few 2x3 for half price",

I was going to buy quarter inch 4x8 plywood from home depot someone piped up "Plywood they bend out of shape from rain and shine, build panels you better off, all you need is wood glue carpenter nails 2x2 and panels the way to go"

I was going to build sukka panels, I searched on ddf and

I built into a deck. I can tell you that the biggest cost is time and that you may be starting late already now.

And ushdadude built one 2 years ago and is still in the market, I'd rather pay three times the price then buing (cheep) every year.

So I'm totally confused..

Anyone use heat lamps in the succah?

Thoughts?

Probably not rated for outdoor use.

My opinion. Buy the fiberglass 4ft walls for however much they cost. Buy the standered size they have been making for the past 30 years (back when it was green and yellow. My sukkah has three different style walls, all of them produced many years apart from each other) so you can expand whenever you need to. The brackets and walls are still being made and will probably not stop being made for many many years. Its light and simple to put up, and lasts forever as long as you dont accidentally drop it off your deck and have the fiberglass smash when hitting a blunt object on the ground.

And since I buy bamboo poles and not mats: get bamboo from a nursery for half the price of any sukkah place.

this ?

Two generations of my sukkah looks like that. But obviously I buy it from people who build it into sukkah walls (or you can get fake looking wood fiberglass)

I bought from sukka depot last year , was very happy with it.
It didn't take long to put it up and I did by myself.
Just bargain on the price......

The one I was referring to then lasted me 13 years until I moved. I had made a frame of 2x4s which I used bolts to attach to the deck railing and then screwed 1/4 in luan panels. I never had an issue of them getting moldy or warping even though they were not waterproofed. One or two of the 2x4s from the frame warped to become unusabe and were easily replaced.

In my new house I hired someone to extend my deck and at the same time had him make a frame with panels for the sukkah. the panels each have a frame and pop into the frame. They are held in by turn buttons. Took my kids half an hour to put it up.

[aygart]

it worked out well that year but the wood warped and turned moldy

then it must have been put away most or stored in a most place.

Browsing through their site they seem to be more expensive then some other places I've seen.

happened during sukkos

happened during sukkos

then it must be in a shady spot where it doesn't dry well. Mine went through plenty of rainy years. If it will be in such a location it should be treated.
