If the roof is made out of wooden boards, why is it a problem to use as סכך for the sukkah?

2) it was put on with the wrong intent
Translate: אם יש רוח ביניהן כמותן כשרה

How tall must the walls be for the sukkah to be Kosher even if the walls don't reach the סכך?

Why does מפקפק fix a sukkah that has a roof without plaster?

If he distanced the סכך from the walls 3 tefachim (the sukkah) is pasul.
In all three cases of the mishna, how far is the wall allowed to be from the סכך?
up to 4 amot
What is a small mat typically made for?
לשכיבה - for laying on
If the walls of a sukkah are 3 tefachim off the ground, why is the sukkah pasul?
Because a wall needs to separate from one space to another and this wall can't keep a small goat from going through, so it is not a valid wall.
Explain דופן עקומא.
It means bent wall. So long as the kosher סכך is within 4 amot of the wall, the wall is viewed as bending and is considered part of the sukkah.
Why does Rabbi Eliezer say a סוכה כמין צריף is not kosher? What does it need in order to be kosher? (give a specific measurement)
Because it doesn't have a roof. In order to be kosher, the sukkah needs a roof at least 1 tefach wide.
