Tying the Support Beams of the Sukkah with Zip Ties
Question
I have a metal frame in my sukkah on which I place the schach. I need to put wooden beams on the metal frame and only then place the schach on them. Is it permissible to tie these beams to the metal frame with zip ties?
Answer
Shalom Rav,
According to most poskim, it is permissible to tie the wooden beams with zip ties.
However, according to the Chazon Ish, it is prohibited, as he holds that even a 'ma'amid de-ma'amid' is forbidden.
