Nope, same thinner vinyl...so you don't want to leave them in the sun with water in them...water gets hot, ballooning the vinyl. So, if you shut them off, pick them up and drain. I also made the mistake of turning one off at the faucet and leaving it on the lawn, knowing I'd turn it on before the sun warmed it the next day. Some critter...dog or raccoon, had chewed the crap out of it to get to the water inside.

Even with those flaws, still functions better than the cheapies made of thicker plastic that never lays out flat...
