Standard exterior roof covers are heat seamed 18 oz. Vinyl Coated polyester. Some premium options up to ~22 oz.
Walls usually an acrylic coated polyester ~15 oz..
Make sure that it's FLAME RETARDANT!
Interior liners can be anything F.R. but I've found synthetics like a polyester or nylon are much more resistant to mold.
The industry generally insulates with a reflective bubble insulation between
the exterior cover and liner. Works great, lightweight, and is clean with no mold.
Lanolin found in sheep wool is naturally flame retardant so a good alternative to synthetic covers and/or insulation would be wool felt.
