*October 10, 2011*

*In response to numerous consumer enquiries regarding the use of certain
types of schach, this year, the Home Depot store located at 6211 N. Lincoln
Ave., Chicago, IL, is selling Natural Reed Fencing (a.k.a. Woven Natural
Reed Privacy Screening) under the Gardenpath brand name.  This fencing may
be used as schach if:*


   - *The reeds are placed perpendicular to the schach support-beams rather
   than parallel to the beams.  *



   - *A 2 X 4 or some other piece of kosher schach should be placed on top
   of the fencing so that the fencing is secure enough to not blow off during
   Succos.  This condition applies to all lightweight schach including mats,
   and is based on Shulchan Aruch 628:2.  *


*Other similar items sold in this or other stores have not been investigated
and should only be used after consulting with one’s Rabbi.*
