U/V damaged white PVC gerts brittle but that is
usually after about 10 years in the Florida sun. People use PVC pipe
for guides on boat trailers and boat lifts here in South Florida. If
it was as brittle as you say it would snap off the fist time the wind
caught your boat. That is not what happens.

I have to smile. Here in NM, PVC lasts about 8-12 months exposed!


I lived in Las Vegas for 15 years. PVC would last about 1 summer in the sun,
and then that was it.
