It's up to you guys, but there's a treatment in the self-built teardrop camper's arena that seems to work pretty good for long term treatment of plywoods.They call it "PMF", or poor man's fiberglass. It's nothing more than Tightbond II wood glue rollered or brushed on, then with a canvas painter's tarp laid on top, with a second, exterior coat of the glue. Many will thin the glue up to 50% with water, and wash the tarp at least once to get the shrinkage while drying to a minimum.Afterwards, most will paint it with an exterior latex for further waterproofing and colorization.I can't help but wonder if it would work well for this situation, especially if the carpet is jute backed. (It would be a bear removing it at a later time.)Further, I've used thinned Rustoleum marine paint to coat some exterior wood trim on my detached garage. It's still holding up nicely after five years. I will admit, it took multiple coats before I was satisfied with the coverage.Roger
