b. a fabric layer covering at least one surface of the foam core,

wherein one or more tucked portions of the fabric layer are tucked into the foam core; and

c. an injected cementitious inner reinforcing mixture layer cured between the fabric covering and the at least one surface of the foam core.

2. The reinforced article of manufacture of claim 1 wherein the cementitious inner reinforcing mixture includes a compound selected from the group consisting of cement, concrete, plaster and paint.

3. The reinforced article of manufacture of claim 2 further comprising an outer reinforcing mixture layer deposited on the outer surface of the fabric layer.

4. The reinforced article of manufacture of claim 3 wherein a solid texture layer is deposited on top of the outer reinforcing mixture layer.

5. The reinforced article of manufacture of claim 3 wherein the outer reinforcing mixture layer mixture includes a compound selected from the group consisting of cement, concrete, plaster, and paint.

6. The reinforced article of manufacture of claim 5 wherein a solid texture layer is deposited on top of the outer reinforcing mixture layer.

7. The reinforced article of manufacture of claim 6 wherein the solid texture layer includes sand.

8. The reinforced article of manufacture of claim 1 further comprising an outer reinforcing mixture layer deposited on the outer surface of the fabric layer.

9. The reinforced article of manufacture of claim 8 further comprising a solid texture layer deposited on top of the outer reinforcing mixture layer.

10. The reinforced article of manufacture of claim 9 wherein the outer reinforcing mixture layer mixture includes a compound selected from the group consisting of cement, concrete, plaster, and paint.

18. The reinforced article of manufacture of claim 1 wherein the said at least one surface of the foam core includes one or more inner reinforcing mixture layer receiving channels.

19. The reinforced article of manufacture of claim 18 wherein the inner reinforcing mixture layer is an injected layer and includes a compound selected from the group consisting of cement, concrete, plaster, and paint.

20. The reinforced article of manufacture of claim 19 further comprising an outer reinforcing mixture layer deposited on the outer surface of the fabric layer.

21. The reinforced article of manufacture of claim 20 further comprising a solid texture layer deposited on top of the outer reinforcing mixture layer.

22. A reinforced article of manufacture comprising:

a. a foam core;

b. a fabric layer covering a first surface of the foam core,

wherein one or more tucked portions of the fabric layer are tucked into a second surface opposite the first surface of the foam core; and

c. an injected cementitious inner reinforcing mixture layer cured between the fabric layer and the first surface of the foam core.

23. The reinforced article of manufacture of claim 22 further comprising one or more welded fabric corners covering one or more corners of the foam core.

24. The reinforced article of manufacture of claim 22 wherein the first surface of the foam core includes one or more inner reinforcing mixture layer receiving channels.

25. The reinforced article of manufacture of claim 22 further comprising an outer reinforcing mixture layer deposited on the outer surface of the fabric layer.

26. The reinforced article of manufacture of claim 25 wherein the first surface of the foam core includes one or more inner reinforcing mixture layer receiving channels.

27. The reinforced article of manufacture of claim 26 wherein the outer reinforcing mixture layer includes a compound selected from the group consisting of cement, concrete, plaster, and paint, and wherein the injected inner reinforcing mixture layer Includes a compound selected from the group consisting of cement, concrete, plaster, and paint.
