Plywood? External grade should do the job - marine if you got the monies.

I've used Stirling or is it Sterling board on my trailer. Every so often slosh some creosote over it and when eventually it rots replace it. Its
very cheap and durable. I have thought of but never done it is to place a piece of galvanized 1mm steel over the top which would extend its life many
times.

It produces Cyanide, but ground off as said, and outside should be ok as long as you dont breathe any in.
