Related do Sukka 1:14

A sukkah which is higher than twenty cubits is disqualified; but Rebbi Jehudah qualifies it. “Rebbi Jehudah said, it happened that the sukkah of Helena (in Lydda) was higher than twenty cubits and the Sages were coming and going there and nobody was saying a word. They said to him, because she was a woman, and a woman is not obligated in sukkah. He said to them, is that proof? She had seven sons who were scholar students, And they all slept in it.

A sukkah which is more than twenty amot high is invalid; R. Yehudah, considers it kosher. R. Yehudah said, It once happened that the sukkah of Helen (in Lod) was higher than twenty amot, and the elders were going in and out of it, and no one said anything to her. [The sages] said to him, It was because she was a woman, and a woman is not obligated [to dwell] in a sukkah. He said to them, And did she not have seven sons who were scholars, and all were sleeping in the sukkah?

A sukkah that has more sun than shade is disqualified. For what case are we talking about? [In the event that the sun falls] from above, but if it falls from the sides, even if it is full of sun, it is qualified.

A sukkah where the sunshine is more than the shade is not valid. This applies only from above; but from the sides, even if they were wholly exposed to the sun, it is kosher. If one puts [schach] covering over the sides of a bed or the sides of a tree which are ten handbreadths high, if the part exposed to the sun be greater than that of the shade, it is kosher; but if not, it is invalid. The sukkah of shepherds, the sukkah of fruit-pickers, and a stolen sukkah, are invalid.

They can be covered with planed boards, these are the words of R. Yehudah; the sages say: they are prohibited unless there is sufficient space between them. R. Yehudah says: It once happened that at the time of [religious] danger they set up ladders, covered them with boards, and slept under them. They said to him: A time of danger is no proof [for a normal case]. But all agree that even if the boards be four handbreadths wide there must be between them sufficient space. One who hangs on it (Persian) nuts, pomegranates, olives, or bunches of grapes, or wreathes of grain, it is kosher. One may not eat from them except on the last day of the festival. If he made a condition on them that he would eat from them on the festival, it is permitted.

One who makes his sukkah in the shape of a cone, or leans it against a wall, it is not valid. But R. Eliezer agrees that if it be placed on a roof with a space of a handbreadth s width, or if it be higher than the ground by a handbreadth, it is kosher.

Matting made of shavings or of large reed-grass can be used as a covering, but if it is small they cannot cover with it. Reed mats or rush mats, if large, may be used as a covering, but not they are woven toegther. But R. Yishmael b. R. Yosi said in the name of his father that even if woven together they may be used; and so R. Dosa says, following his opinion.

You can cover with boards, The words of R. Yehuda. But the sages say: Only when between him and to the nearest there is an interval as large as its own extent. R. Yehuda said: There was an occurrence in the hour of danger: We set up ladders and made a roof over them with boards and slept under them. They said to him: The hour of danger is no proof. But the sages agree in this that if a board has four handbreadths wide, it is necessary that between it and the next to it there will be an interval as large as its own extent. If you hang on it nuts and pomegranates and olive cakes and bunches of grapes and wreaths of corn up, then it is [nevertheless] qualified. One shall not eat from them, even on the last day of the festival. But if you have given them the proviso that you want to eat from them during the festival, it is allowed.

If one makes his sukkah as a shed [i.e. Indian tent] or that he supported it on a wall, it is disqualified. But R. Eliezer agrees [with the sages] in this, that if their roof has an opening of a handbreadth or if it above the ground even a handbreadth high [perpendicular] runs, is qualified. With a mat of dry reeds or of papyrus, if it is a large one, one may cover with it, and if it is a small one, one may not; and with one made of Haifa grass, if it is large, it may be covered, and if it is braided, one may not cover with it. R. Ischmäel son of R. Jose says on behalf of his father: even a plaited one, one may cover with it, and R. Dosa said it according to his words.
