A kosher sukkah must have at least 3 walls, and each wall must have a minimum length of 28 inches (7 tefachim x 7 tefachim)3. The walls of the sukkah must extend at least 40 inches high4, and the walls may not be suspended more than 9 inches above the ground5 (this is a common problem with fabric sukkahs).
How many sides does a sukkah need?
A sukkah must have three walls. It should be at least three feet tall, and be positioned so that all or part of its roof is open to the sky. (Only the part which is under the sky is kosher.) Most authorities require its floor area to be at least 16 square cubits.
Do I have to build a sukkah?
The sukkah should be built as soon as possible after Yom Kippur. If you cannot start building at the end of the day, then start as soon as you can the next morning. Ideally you should have completed your sukkah on the day after Yom Kippur.
