Why not a vinyl lining?


They do that up north a lot. Out here we don't have to because the ground
doesn't freeze solid. I doubt I'd like a vinyl lining but it's something
to consider.

I always wonder why we used vinyl and in the American south they don't. Now
I know.


I suspect the UV load is also a consideration. We [northerners]
need more flexibility, in the south they need more UV resistance.
