We had a green fiberglass Sukkah for many years that got holes and just got rid of it when we painted the porch railing. It lasted a long time. The Sukkah is on an unused back porch so it can be up all year (we take off the Schach). We can either get a canvas Sukkah that doesnt last that long or buy something more permanent. We had a Shlock built that was hard to open and close so we just got rid of it and the rain comes in.

My husband isnt handy. The less we have to do the better. Is there an inexpensive way to do a Shlock thats user friendly without doing an expensive canvas awning?

Which Sukkah should we buy and where should we buy it?

THANKS!

I am not good with measurements or sizes, Id have to ask dh but we make a succah on our small front porch, it does have to come down each year though but we bought the blue thick sheets (can't remember what they are called, dh calls them shlock) and he staples them to a few wooden pillars tied to the railing. Schach and only laminated decorations and its so nice Smile

At this point I cant have anything made. Its either a Leiter's Sukkah or the Sukkah Depot Sukkah. Are there other options? Is anyone clear on the pros and cons?

Where do you live? If you live near lakewood I can tell you where to go.
Brooklyn has plenty of places that can help you. It's not too late yet!

Thanks, but I did research today. I was told that the wood or wood/flakeboard Panel Sukkahs, which are ALMOST the strongest Sukkahs around, are second in strength and durability to Fiberglass panels. I was told that if I want to leave the Sukkah up all year, Fiberglass is the best. Wood/Flakeboard will crumble with time. As far as I know, only Leiter's makes Fiberglass panel Sukkahs. Please tell me if Im wrong. Thanks.

Fiberglass IS the best if you keep the sukkah up all year round.

Our porch is about the same size. We have a fiberglass sukkah that we don't take down. The mistake we made is that we didn't buy a window panel for another 150 and if it't warm outside the sukkah gets really hot.

Is there anyone besides Leiters who makes fiberglass Sukkahs?

Which places in Brooklyn sell Fiberglass Sukkahs? Only Leiter?

Thanks.
