Question
Do the beams of a pergola that were made and used for a sukkah during Sukkot have the sanctity of a sukkah, and is it forbidden to use them for other purposes or disrespectfully? If they have sanctity, is it permissible to make a step from them for standing during Torah lessons?
Answer
Shalom and blessings
There is no sanctity for the supports of the schach, only the schach itself has a certain degree of sanctity.
However, one should not use for outright disrespect something that was used for a mitzvah. [For example, cleaning filth with it].
