Plastic Wall for the Sukkah

Question

I have a 40 cm gap between the wall of the sukkah and the floor. Can I close it with an attached plastic sheet?

Answer

Hello Rabbi,

There is no problem closing the gap with a plastic sheet, provided it is well attached on all sides so that it does not move in a common wind.
