If one makes a Sukkah underneath the beams or supports of a house (even if the roof is removed), is the Sukkah valid?
Synopsis
If schach is placed under the house's permanent beams after the roof is removed, the Sukkah may be valid if schach properly covers the space. However, some opinions hold that such beams directly overhead remain a defect regardless of whether schach is adequate underneath them.
