You are 100% correct about that,...when I used the pressboard construction, I lined the inside with 1/16th inch finely textured plastic/vinyl sheeting that was very accurately cut, and water-base glued into place. And at all corners I also used waterbased laytex caulking for an absolute water-proofed inside. If done correctly(and I stress this part)and other things are strengthened as needed and a few other features added, it can become a VERY sturdy waterproof set-up. But me being a professional carpenter all my adult life makes stuff like that really easy for me to do, and all types of tools are not a problem either.



I could actually fill this cage I built with water just like an aquarium, and it would hold fine..LOL!
