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.
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

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.
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.

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 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.
