In need of creating a roof of sorts for a firewood rack. *Trying to find

At the moment I'm leaning towards 3/4x4x8 BC pine plywood. *This will be

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?

Yep. As for rain on it, only the top layer will get wet and then only
surface. I just toss that stuff aside and use the dry wood under
it. But then I live in a semi-arid area...
