Question
Is it permissible to place the schach on a metal pergola, where it serves as the support for the schach (similar to placing it on a stone wall, as it is not the usual way to use schach, as written in the Mishnah Berurah, and the pergola is also fixed in its place)?
Answer
Shalom u'vracha
It is forbidden. It is not similar to a stone wall because on a stone wall there is no usual way to place schach, unlike with iron.
