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

It's 12mm spruce plywood. Since it's vented and not painted on the back, it technically doesn't mind even if it did get wet for as long as it gets to dry in between.
