Default Wood rack cover

In need of creating a roof of sorts for a firewood rack. Trying to find
that happy median between durability and cost.

At the moment I'm leaning towards 3/4x4x8 BC pine plywood. This will be
covered by green tarps of which I have many.

Is there a different type of plywood or panel I should consider instead?

Also curious about corrugated plastic roof panels. Anyone use them for
similar projects?


I've burned wood for 25 of the last 30 years. I've tried various methods of
protection and what I found best is nothing. Wood, tarps, sheeting,
fiberglass, tin roofing are all a PITA in one way or another. Nothing works
well enough for me. We get about 48" of snow on a typical winter, but
rarely do I have snow covered wood to bring in. It falls right off the logs
when you handle them, unlike sheets of plywood.
