BAMBOO Roof Mats

Bamboo Roof Mats

The roof covering (s'chach) is the critical part of a sukkah -- it must be of plant material and provide more shade than sun, but not block out the stars.

The Sukkah Project™ kits provide a roof support system of wooden or bamboo roof slats designed to be covered with locally-gathered greenery  (branches, cornstalks, reeds, shrub prunings, etc) or roll-up Bamboo Mats consisting of thin bamboo slats woven with durable, weatherproof MONOFILAMENT, with a sturdy bamboo stick every 18in. to provide stability.  With proper care you can expect mats to provide 10 or more years of use.

  Our mats are  produced exclusively for use as sukkah roofing (s'chach), and carry a Certification of Kashrut from BLUE RIBBON KOSHER (RABBI BARUCH MEIR CLEIN)

Individual mats come in these sizes:

4x8, 5x10, 5x12, 6x8, 6x10, 6x12, 8x8, 8x10, & 8x12.

HOWEVER, it is best to order mats by SUKKAH SIZE, not mat size*. This can be done online by selecting the set that matches your sukkah from the "Bamboo Mat Sets for Family Sukkahs" item below.

*Long-winded (but hopefully clear) Explanation: Halachic guidelines require that this type of mat lie atop--and be fully supported by--poles or wooden beams. For this to work, the supports must run PERPENDICULAR TO the individual slats that comprise the mat. The first number in a given mat size gives the length of the slats the mat is made from (or mat WIDTH); the second number gives the LENGTH the mat rolls out to. THIS SECOND NUMBER SHOULD MATCH THE LENGTH OF YOUR SUPPORT POLES OR BEAMS. For example, our 8x12 sukkot have 8ft long support poles or beams that span from one 12ft wall to the other, so it requires mats that roll out to a length of 8ft. We thus use two 6x8 mats (not a single 8x12 mat) to cover the sukkah.
