you could fiberglass the ply, that would seal it, and last a lot longer, and still give it a raw wood look.

its an update lol
these are the filter and pond bottoms.im doubling them up if i didnt say that before.
i used thompson water seal on the edges and some white paint i had for the middle.
reason is i dont want to see white paint,and it would cost alot for enough sealer to do it all.
will be doing more in the next few days so keep an eye out.
"going to try to finish soon,going to miami soon and might need room" :naughty:
