1/8 luan? Ply? Exterior?

I appreciate the help! I'm not that familiar with wood types, but "5.2" is
what they call it -- just under 1/4-inch. Not plywood - solid. Looks like
door skin material only they say it's made for outdoors. I thought it might
look better than plywood.

You still have the problem of areas that will catch and hold water...the
two horiziontal pieces shown fastened with anchor bolts especially the
top one. Additionally, the vertical space on the wall overlain with the
luan.

The retention of water does two things...it encourages rot of the wood
and water absorption by the block. The latter encourages mildew.

I don't need mildew - that's for sure. How about if, before I tighten down
the bolts at the bottom, I run a bead of silcone where the wall meets the
back plate?

We don't get much rain - only 10-inches a year or so. And very dry - desert
like climate.
