Walls of the Sukkah
From Halachipedia
Plastic curtains as walls
- Many authorities hold that plastic curtains are unfit for walls of a Sukkah, while others permit. [1]
Arrangment of the walls
- If one has two walls facing one another and the third is four tefachim it must be within 3 tefachim of one side and within 3 of the other or at least have a tzurat hapetach to the second side. [2]

However, Rav Moshe Feinstein in Sh”t Igrot Moshe 5:40 permits if the curtains are thick and there’s poles.
