Default Timbers for external use

Hi all.
Can most any timber be used for weather exposed situations
providing it is well treated with preservatives?


And also, that it is of a heavy enough section?
eg, timber panelling from 6mm ply is a bad choice?

What's the application?
Anywhere where water sits for long periods will rot regardless, which is
why fence posts rot before panels, even though they're many times thicker.
