Screws in the Sukkah of Chazon Ish
Question
In the coming days, I am going to build a Sukkah according to the Chazon Ish's specifications. For this purpose, I am constructing a pergola. For the columns, I am going to use three boards connected by glue. However, I want to attach this to the wall with screws, until the glue dries. The question is whether there will be an obligation to remove the screws afterwards.
Answer
Greetings,
If the Sukkah would stand even without the screws, there is no deficiency in having screws.
Even in the case where the screws provide additional reinforcement, if the Sukkah would stand without them, it is permitted.
None
