 Question: [Sunday, 14th Tishreiy, 5783]

I am making my Sukkah walls using Lavud, as the walls are from sheets. I would like to know if there are any laws regarding what the material I use for Lavud is to be made of. May I use string and the like, or must it be made of sturdy material, such as metal?

There are no limitations or regulations in the material you use to create Lavud. It can be anything, including string. However, it should be strong enough that it does not break or become untied with the wind.
