The only way you can get this to withstand the elements in a stand alone exterior is to urethane it, face and edges with something like Helmsman. . . latex paint won't last. That being said, and this being a relatively small project, can't I talk you into using an exterior rated plywood like Georgia-Pacific's Plytanium http://www.gp.com/build/product.aspx?pid=1397 and then prime/seal it with Glidden "Gripper" before painting. GP will then warrant the board for 25 years.Mike Lonergan TradesProfessional, Inc. http://tradesprofessional.com<br><b>References : </b><br>Professional Experience Maryannalova;

With a latex paint, you may have a chance, but oriented strand board is used for interior builds. If trying to keep inexpensive, try a Tyvek wrap or felt paper painted.<br><b>References : </b><br> OSB will buckle under weather.
