Wood
Pros: Cheap
         Easy to change shape or size as your needs for space change
         DIY - most people would be able to build it from scratch or make modifications (e.g. add windows)
         Can be converted to chazzon ish (replace metal screws with peg screws)
         Can integrate a schlock to the structure
Cons: Heavy, Can warp over time. (note: if you use enough fasteners and are also careful to assemble it balanced this can be minimized)
         Needs lots of storage space

Fiberglass
Pros: Easy Setup (on level ground)
         Length/width is reconfigurable (you just need to buy a few 2x4 beams if you change layout)
Cons: Expensive
         Greenhouse effect on hot days (need to budget for several open/shut windows)
         Connection threads can become bent even with proper storage (need to budget for the odd panel replacement here and there)
         Can Crack or Break

Canvas
Pros: Setup in minutes
Cons: Not accepted by all poskim
         Poor protection from cold Weather
         Wind Can be bothersome.

Any deals out there on a pop-up sukkah?
Just build your own with 1/4 inch EMT conduit

any reason this won't work?

https://www.amazon.com/Leader-Accessories-Shower-Dressing-Changing/dp/B073GSLZTV/ref=sr_1_7?crid=3QDOQJRG1YO6L&keywords=pop%2Bup%2Bsukkah&qid=1693794383&sprefix=pop%2Bup%2Bsukk%2Caps%2C439&sr=8-7&ufe=app_do%3Aamzn1.fos.18ed3cb5-28d5-4975-8bc7-93deae8f9840&th=1

How would you attach schach here?

Also, as far as I know, sukkah walls must have some form of rigidity, hench the braces around three sides of the pop-up sukkah. These obviously don't have that.

Is there a sukkah that can fit in a van for traveling? Not a pop-up, a normal size sukkah.

Something like telescopic poles perhaps?

Anyone ever use?

I don't see the size of the poles unassembled anywhere?

Other site seems much better for travel from what I see.

You can just get ¾ inch EMT conduit cut to the max length that works for your van, then get connectors etc as needed

I have seen a travel sukah using canvas, I can't find it online. I only see the pop up ones.

Has anyone seen something using canvas for travel? Fits 2 ppl.

Nice find, what does “without pipe” mean?
Quote
NEEDED TO COMPLETE KIT
  • 7pcs – 10’ pipe
    4pcs – 8’ pipe
Just purchase your 1” EMT pipe (electrical conduit) at your local hardware store
  The bars on the top are 10' apart. If you need to put extra bars closer together for your s'chach please feel free to ask. It only takes 2 extra fittings for each pole you want to add.

I was just reading that as well.

Home Depot doesn’t carry the 1-3/8” pipes, closest are 1-1/2” and 1-1/4”, and they’re pretty pricey.

https://www.homedepot.com/p/1-1-4-in-x-10-ft-EMT-Conduit-101576/100400410

If you need 11 $30 pipes that’s another $330 on top of the kit.

Is 3/4" not strong enough? They're only $10 each.
I wonder what people who type "u" instead of "you" do with all their free time.
