I have something similar outside my greenhouse. Use marine ply.

I'd use builders shuttering ply, not pretty but it's cheap, plenty strong enough and fully waterproof

Plastic sewer pipe or an offcut of a large water main or gas pipe. All are very strong, wont rust or rot and easy to cut or drill. Can be sprayed with plasticote or similar to change the colour. If you use sewer pipe you can probably use a branch or access branch fitting for the tap. With a smaller post you could have possibly got away with a large drain pipe as a cover.
