INSTRUCTIONS - Part One:
The construction of the Succah includes the first-time assembly, so you might want to do the construction in the actual location you want the finished Succah to stand. Otherwise, you will need to disassemble and reassemble in the final location.
The Succah may be used as is, stained with a good weather-resistant stain (redwood is nice), or painted. If you paint, be sure to save the identifying marks on the parts (see below)!
Cut 4' x 8' plywood sheet lengthwise into 3 pieces 16" wide, as shown in Figure 1.
Cut 12" end off two of the pieces and save. This leaves one 8' x 16" piece which is the Back Panel and two 7' x 16" pieces which are the Side Panels.
Mark ends of Back Panel as "left" and "right".
Mark the Side Panels as "left" and "right" and the ends of each Side Panel as "front" and "back".
Cut and mark 2" x 4" studs as shown in Figure 2. Use carpenter's square to assure accurate cuts. Be sure to save two of the 16" end scraps from the corner post for Rear Panel Braces.
Mark ends of Front and Rear Cross-members as "left" and "right".
Mark ends of Side Cross-members as "front" and "back".

NOTE: It is important to mark, unobtrusively, all the components because once the holes are drilled for the assembly bolts, they will NOT be alike. |
From the 12" x 16" plywood scrap ends from the Side Panels, cut Cross-member Brackets as shown in Figure 3, Figure 4, Figure 5, and Figure 6.
These pieces do not have to be cut precisely, but should be nominal as shown.
Drill 1/4" holes in the plywood Cross-member Brackets as shown in Figure 3 and Figure 5.
Drill 1/8" pilot holes for the wood screws in the Cross-member Brackets as shown in Figure 3 and Figure 5.
Drill 1/4" holes in the Front and Side Panels as shown in Figure 7.
Attach the plywood Cross-member Brackets to the Corner Posts using the wood screws, as shown in Figure 8 and Figure 9.
