# The minimum number of walls necessary for a [[Sukkah]] is 3 of length 7 [[Tefachim]]. It's possible to build the third wall without having to complete it but footnote for details. <ref> S"A 630:2 according to the explanation of the Mishna Brurah 630:6 the third wall doesn't have to be a full wall of 7 [[Tefachim]] but must still look like a wall and so it's permissible to build two walls next to each other (say one is from southwest to southeast and the other is southeast to northeast) and then a third wall (from northeast to northwest) constructed with a wall which is more than one [[Tefach]] thick within 3 [[Tefachim]] to one of the two other walls (within 3 [[Tefachim]] of the northeast corner) and also a poll at the end of 7 [[Tefachim]] (7 [[Tefachim]] from the northeast corner) and a poll on top of the more than one [[tefach]] wall and the poll at the end of 7 [[Tefachim]].
