I made a frame by lashing bamboo poles together with cord.
For one corner, lash 3 poles together, such that one extended vertically is long enough to be ceiling height, the second one horizontal and long enough to reach to the house, and the third horizontal and long enough to form the other side of the sukkah, parallel to the house.
For the second corner, lash 2 bamboo poles to the third one from above, spread one pole down to make the vertical, and the other horizontal to make the other side reaching to the house.
Then i tie sheets to the frame and the sheets sway in the breeze very much like a bedouin tent in the desert.
I thatch with bamboo shades.
