Can you give me some idea on where you will be installing the product. This might help to narrow where it will be used. If you cover any treated wood with any type of aluminum/vinyl coated coil you will find that the chemicals used to preserve the wood will cause the aluminum/vinyl to actually decay.

thanks, yeah i just learned that. i guess i'll be using some pvc trim sheets. i want to cover the exposed sides of my stair stringer going to my upper deck. i tried getting 1/4" thick versatex but they won't sell me 1 sheet unless they charge me $200 fee to break down a pallet load. not going to do that. i guess i'll go with 3/8" sheet and hope it's not too cumbersome to cut and install. thanks for your help.
