Boarding up my summer house

Options
Hi all,
I have what may be called a "summer house" in the garden. There is a big opening in the front and the rest of the walls only go up half way. I never use it as inside is just a bit dingy and there are spiders everywhere as it's exposed to the elements. I am going to board it up and turn in into an inside building but I wanted some suggestions other than the standard plywood.

    I'd recommend a combination of Gruyère and the paintings of Rembrandt. Though you could probably do it on half that with Chedder and Rubens.

    Clear PVC tarpaulin would be a cheap option

    Have you looked at feather edge fencing boards that have been pre treated? It may be cheaper to buy fence panels and take them apart if you can get them delivered for free.
    Next door to me they bought a shed back to life by cladding the outside with fence panels.
