      I've been tossing around the idea or trying Plywood when I had mine.

      Would Marine Plywood be a good choice?

        sure but price would kick it out

          I've used Thompson's Water Sealer and it's always worked great.

            This.

            I have a ground blind tucked under an oak surrounded by youpon. It gets zero sun. I think it's 5 years old this year and still looks new.

            Oops paint from lowes, caulked seems with flashing over them

              Thanks for the replies guys, unfortunately, smart siding, hardie, or anything over 3/8” ply is just too heavy for how these stands work, so I will have to look into this further.

                Yeah, we tried flashing on the last thinking that would help keep the water from entering from the edges. It isn’t the ends that are the issue, it is the fungus that blooms from all over the plywood. I will try to get a picture on the latest one next time I am up at the lease.

                  I have had better luck with 1/4" T111 and paint it with oil based exterior paint called fence and barn paint

                    Since the uproar about formaldehyde causing so many problems, most wood processors don’t use it anymore to preserve plywood. Therefore fungus and mold grow readily when exposed to the elements. You might consider using corrected metal cut to size as an alternative.

                      You could try the plastic bathroom wall panel but don't know how it will hold paint outside.

                        Could you skin them while in the air ?

                        If not sounds like sheet metal is the only option without screwing with it each year. Foam board insulation inside

                          We use 3/8” marine grade plywood on ours. We have a sign shop in town that sells it used for $8.00 a 4x8 sheet. It lasts forever.

                          We set this one up this weekend. Still needs paint.

                            cover the edges of the plywood with a plastic channel. Hardware store should have this.
                            Typically used as finish edging on soffit

                              Dang, that’s a deal right there.

                                We gave up using 1/4" plywood years ago. Just too much work and it just doesn't last. No matter what we tried. Nothing but treated wood and our stands last 10 years + some.much longer.
