Build Your Custom Sukkah Hut with Heavy Duty Tarps

At Heavy Duty Tarps, we offer custom tarps in any size to help you construct a DIY Sukkah hut to your exact specifications. Our 100% waterproof 18 oz vinyl tarps come in 11 vibrant colours, including the warm tan shown here.

If you prefer a natural material, we also provide high-quality canvas (cotton) tarps for your Sukkah. Please note that the wax used to make canvas water-resistant may emit an odour for a short time. To mitigate this, we recommend airing out the material in the sun for a few days before assembly. Alternatively, we can supply untreated cotton canvas, though it will not be water-resistant.

Light and Ventilation Options

If you want to let natural light into your Sukkah, we can add windows made of clear vinyl material or we can use screen material, if you prefer open windows that will keep out insects.

Sukkah Interior Features

Here we show the interior of the sukkah pictured above. One of the features included in this installation is known as a "reef band". Normally, we only attach grommets to the outer edges of the tarp. If you live in a windy area, this can mean that the sides of the tarp may sway in the wind farther than what is allowed in the Talmud. A reef band is a folded section in the interior of the tarp where we can add additional grommets to reduce swaying so that the resulting sukkah remains kosher according to Talmudic standards.

Technically, in this installation the reef band was not essential since the deck railing is high enough to constitute a kosher wall on its own, so the tarp mainly just serves to improve the warmth and privacy of the structure. 

Here we show a close-up of the reef band. These grommets can be connected to the railing to prevent the tarp from flapping in the wind.

Every Sukkah is unique, and we’re here to help you design yours! We take pride in offering a range of sizes, colours, and features to fit your specific vision. Here we have added a zippered door for one our customers, to provide easy access and increased privacy.

Be sure to store your Sukkah tarps in a clean, dry location when not in use. With proper care and maintenance, your Sukkah hut materials should last for decades.

Note that we do not supply schach (roof) material.

I can’t say enough about the quality of the product and service from Heavy Duty Tarps. Theresa was incredibly helpful and patient in working through the details with me to ensure a proper fit and design for my deck. The reefband positioned at the top of the railing provided extra level of securing the tarp preventing swaying even in high winds.

Great experience all around.
