The kashrut of a sukkah with a retractable roof

Question

Is a sukkah built under a retractable roof kosher also according to the opinion of the Chazon Ish?

Answer

Shalom u'vrachah 

You did not explain what the s'chach rests on. 

If it rests on the walls of the house, the sukkah is kosher even according to the Chazon Ish. 

If it rests on an iron frame attached to the house, it is not kosher lechatchilah according to the Chazon Ish.
