Sukkah

Our sukkah was constructed in 5783 with wood pallets found locally and framed with scrap lumber to make a Kaf shape. In 5785 to preserve our sukkah we sanded, stained, and polyurathaned each wood member and we hand cut locally sourced bamboo from a fellow neighbor in Pennsylvania as support for our schach. Zevi hand painted decorations and laminated the art in wax for outdoor use. My mother created and sewed fabric daisy chain and burlap chag banner. Wood benches and tables were crafted and polyuranthaned by Zevi and I to fit the space and aesthetic. Leveling the benches was particularly difficult by hand. Stain is early American.

In 5786 I braided bamboo strips from the existing sechach to make a unique view from in the sukkah to watch the night sky. A new table was constructed for the sukkah that was designed for the legs to fit into grooves on the table top for easy take down and storage. Using lumber scraps from a neighbor, the table was constructed with old 2" x 4" planks forming a table top and 4" x 4" legs with grooves to fit the table top. Another bench was constructed to fit inbetween grape planters.
