Did my best to try and make sure it actually lasts instead of just looking good on the surface for the first few years.

The bottom of the plywood has an angled drip edge and all edges have been pre-painted twice before hanging.
Backside of the walls are vented.
The bottom edge is off the ground.
Only stainless hardware used.
Extra durable paint meant for wetrooms
Seams, corners and all pass-throughs have been caulked

Very cool! My youngest brother went to an elementary school that was a refurbished horse arena. I was only in there a couple times, but they turned the stables into the school library and and arena was transformed into the school gymnasium. It even had the old judges box still hanging from the ceiling. It was such a beautiful school.
