Question

Hello Rabbi, I have 2 questions: 1. I have an aluminum pergola on which I place wooden slats and then the s'chach. Can I tie the slats to the pergola with zip ties? 2. I place slats above the s'chach to prevent it from folding and flying away. Can I tie the upper slats to the slats under the s'chach with zip ties? Thank you.

Answer

Hello and blessings

It is necessary to ensure that the sukkah can withstand a common wind by tying it with something suitable for covering.

After that, the ties can be reinforced with zip ties.
