Yes. Last year my neighbor offered to) or more accurately , informed us that they will) build ours even though none of us are mechuyav in the mitzvah yet .(My oldest boy was 9 at the time.) It brought tremendous simchas YT to our family. This year he did it again and I’m very glad that we have a sukkah .

Just because one holds that a woman is not required to eat in the sukkah (it's not required for any women) does not in any way mean that a woman CAN NOT or SHOULD NOT eat in it. It sounds like it would really add to your kids simchas hachag. Seeing as its easy for you to have it opened and schach put over it, whats the big deal?

When I was a single mom (for many years), we still had a Sukkah. I wanted to enjoy the holiday with my kids and enjoy the simcha. It's something that makes a timeless impression on kids. You don't have to have a man around to enjoy so many of these things.
I highly, highly recommend this book:

Yes some hold a woman SHOULD NOT eat in sukka. But anyway that's a discussion for another topic.

ok I've literally never ever heard that. Could it be that it came down from a time and place where the sukkahs were too small to accommodate everyone so the women did not take a place?
In any case, it sounds like you have a shailah to ask and ask soon.

Just wondering what other people do. |
I was taught that just sitting in the Sukkah is such a holy thing, as well as lighting candles and Davening inside the sukkah, I’m divorced, have a son but even when he’s not home I have a Sukkah.

My mother and I built the sukkah every year together after my parents divorced.
