Vinyl seawalls work well in coastal areas in sandy soils without roots shells, rocks, etc. These sheet piles must be vibrated down rather than pile driven since they will shatter with a pile driver. To the best of my knowledge vibrating piling down in this soil is difficult if not impossible.

In coastal applications, sheet pile is usually put in the ground at least the same distance as is exposed above ground. Vinyl would work great if you set it in a 2' deep concrete footing with rip rap to protect the footing. Looks Great.
