    I believe it's fiberglass.
    It's very durable.

    What will you use as a base? I would love to set up an outdoor enclosure, but not only am I worried about the unpredictable British weather but my snakeys are hard enough to contain inside, never mind out in the garden, where they could dig their way out.

    Yep, there's going to be a bottom consisting of fiberglass as well with an inch to and inch and a half overlap onto the inside. Really, all I have to do is wait for the grass around the enclosure to grow back, which reinforce the bottom as well. :P
