#If there are 3 walls of 7 tefachim which are all attached and one of the protruding walls is longer than the other, the schach that extends along that longer wall is valid and included in the sukkah.<ref>Shulchan Aruch O.C. 631:7, Mishna Brurah 631:15 </ref> | #If there are 3 walls of 7 tefachim which are all attached and one of the protruding walls is longer than the other, the schach that extends along that longer wall is valid and included in the sukkah.<ref>Shulchan Aruch O.C. 631:7, Mishna Brurah 631:15 </ref> | ||
# Schach that extends beyond the Sukkah walls is not considered a valid Sukkah to eat or sleep there unless that area has the dimensions of a Sukkah, namely, 7x7 tefachim and has three walls.<ref>Sukkah 19a, Shulchan Aruch O.C. 631:6. The only nuance that it is valid once it has the dimensions of a sukkah and has three walls is that the middle wall wasn't built for the outer Sukkah, it was only built for the inner sukkah and nonetheless that is acceptable.</ref> | |||
