Is direction of the liner important for a single ply liner? I'm about to install mine and I believe i have a single ply liner. I just want to make sure I install it correctly.

It is not with regular corregated light wall liner. But it is important with heavy wall and mid weight liners which are single ply

From what I can tell that is just standard lightwall liner. Is it smooth inside or is it corregated?

Corregated, the only info i found was an answered amazon question that said "
The liner offers a strong 7-ply seam, which is air and water-tight.
The liner has ten corrugations between each reinforced seam "
