Thanks for the Info. Also can one construct a sukkah in the middle of the eight days of sukkot or must it be built beforehand?

hi. Great site with very helpful info.
Does the sukkah and especially the schrach have to be new for sukkoth or may it be used all year around for shade in the garden?

If a sukkah is build for Sukkot, it is kosher, even if it is old.
If it was not built for Sukkot, it is kosher only if it was built within 30 days of the beginning of Sukkot.
If your sukkah was built more than 30 days ago, and was not built with the intention of using it for Sukkot, you can "renew" it and thereby render it kosher. All you need to do is put on new schach which will cover an area of 3.5 inches by 3.5 inches, and the entire sukkah is kosher (Shulchan Aruch Harav 636:1-2).
