The walls may be made of anything sturdy; some even use cloth stretched tight, while some are stringent and use wood. The canopy is plant material, such as reeds, bamboo, branches and the like.

The main features of a "Sukkah' - best translated as an outdoor booth, are its roof and its walls.

The roof (called Schach) should be made of organic material which has been disconnected from the ground, usually tree branches (often palm branches), or bamboo matting. it should be covered enough that there is more shade than sun, but also that it is possible to see the sky and the stars through the roof - The Sukkah is not designed to protect against rain...

The Sukkah should have at the minimum 2.5 walls, and the walls need to be at least 3 feet tall.

A sukkah is the structure in which Jews celebrate the holiday of Sukkot (Leviticus 23:42). The walls can be made of any sturdy material. Many permit the usage of tightly-framed cloth for the walls, while others prefer sturdier construction; and some observe the stringency of using only wood for the walls. The covering of the sukkah must be of plant-material, such as bamboo shafts, palm leaves, etc.
