"I live in Arizona and my neighbors put up this fake rock plastic wall over the winter. It's slowly melting away in the heat."

It's a hundred and ten in Gila Bend
In Buckeye it's a hundred and four
You've been gone about three months too long
And I can't stop loving you

Heatstroke, I'm paralyzed
Feeling things I just can't hide
You've gone and found yourself
You found yourself another another man

I have a plastic shed exposed on the west side of the house and it does get a little soft in the afternoon but not in any way melted.

Give me stone or brick here in Tucson! Nothing else can endure the microwave sun. Amusingly, I still, occasionally get cold calls from clueless vinyl siding salesmen.
Interesting that only that one stretch of wall melted. Must be a house and tree on the other side of the road.
