Bochur Mendel Grossbaum created a step-by-step guide to building a sukkah using materials from ay Home Depot for under $400, a valuable resource for anash and especially shluchim.
“This is a resource that I’ve put together which I think can be majorly helpful, especially to Shluchim,” he said.
The guide shows, step-by-step, how to make a 8×8 foot Sukkah using standard lumber that can be bought in any Home Depot. The value to Shluchim is obvious, as many times it may be daunting for a mekurav to build his own Sukkah, for many reasons—such as the price of pre-made kits, or designing their own model—but with this manual all of those issues fall away.
With the price just under $400, it’s about as affordable as it gets, and with a clear 3D instruction manual, building it is a breeze. A major help to Shluchim trying to encourage their mekuravim to build a kosher Sukkah for Sukkos.
