halacha - May a 3 sided pyramid (almost) be used as a succah?


Talmud succah states that a succah must have a minimum of 3 sides. Can a person build a 3-sided pyramid, but rather than a "full" pyramid, where all the sides meet at the same point at the top, let's say, there's a small triangle (say 9 square inches in area) on top and schach is placed there. Is this permitted?


Two possible problems, perhaps:




  • Do all the walls need to be perpendicular to the ground?

  • What is the minimal area required for a valid roof for the succah? Is 9 sq. in. too small?
