Best Sukkah?

[lcm]

So, I sketched out a design of a 15x15 sukkah what we could do in either PVC or metal:



We'd put wood beams across the top to lay the skach on top off. Any thoughts on this kind of a design?

Would recommend neither wood or PVC, rather metal emt conduit

EMT is quite flexible, especially the smaller cheaper sizes. It also needs lots of vertical support if you want it to take some weight.
A thicker/more rigid type of metal bar or conduit is better

What connectors would you at the joints? What will you use for the third or fourth walls? Lots more planning needed.

If it's takkeh 15x15 (which is pretty big, and also not reflected in the rectangular design you posted) you are going to need some center supports, a 15 foot span is quite weak in the middle.

also might be good to post the area where the 2 house walls will be used to get a better idea
(We just want to see your new backyard )

I am not a professional, but I'm worried about the stability of it. What is stopping the top from twisting and collapsing? Shouldn't it have some diagonal supports? Or the space between should be filled in with something that will support pipes?

If I am making a small wooden Sukkah outdoors in backyard, any recommendations for good floor options, to put something down so we are not sitting directly on grass?

why not modular?

[JMHO]

why not modular?

It's fabric

[ushdadude]

It's fabric

that doesn't preclude it from being modular.
the fabric is screwed onto a metal frame. each individual frame is screwed to the adjacent frame = modular

There technically isn't anything that can be called the "best sukkah". Just like there can't be a "best house" or "best car".

There are various factors that make a Sukkah good for you such as:
a) cheaper
b) more/less resilient to wind [cold/heat] or less resilient. (You may want the air flow in a hot place but not in a cold place or vise versa)
c) lighter
d) easily storable
e) longer lasting
f) less affected by wind (walls)
g) less buggy
h) taller/shorter
i) more private
j) better for placing decorations
k) bigger/smaller
l) reminiscent of your Zaidy's sukkah
m) Less problem of Geneiva
n) free delivery
o) easily put together
p) color
q) able to be left up all year round
r) more/less shady

Well, good and bad is all relative.

Just beware that the grass will likely die. But winters coming either way so might not matter.
