Shower wall options -- could this work?

Vinyl privacy fencing:

The price is right -- $39 for a 6'x6' panel. Do you think this would be waterproof and durable enough for the walls of a shower stall, or maybe the whole bathroom? I'd need to cut it, don't know if that's practical or not. Looking for an easy way to get out of dealing with FRP...

Opinions and experience (positive or negative) appreciated!

I've no idea really, however I sent an email to the manufacturer on the link you posted asking the same question. I'll let you know if/when they reply.

According to that guy, he wouldn't suggest using the vinyl panels but they have 4 x 8' PVC panels that should work.

Thanks so much for checking into that, Shawn! Guess that idea isn't going to work. Too bad, that would have been a nice look. The panels were listed (but not pictured), and they're $65 for a 4x8 ft. 1/2" thick sheet, a little more pricey. Need to keep looking around, but I'll tuck that option away in the back of my mind for later. Thanks again!

No worries Robin, that's the one plus of being unemployed, I have an endless supply of time to search out resources.

So sorry to hear of your unemployment, Shawn. It's a difficult time to go through, for sure. My husband and brother are both unemployed, too. I hope you can land a job in your chosen field very soon! In the meantime, thanks for being generous with what you have, your time, in looking into this. I really appreciate it.
