So possibly make adjustments on any moving parts that can swell ... Allow for expansion and contraction. As far a "being in tge weather" you might just make the overhangs on tge roof a little bigger to help protect it. I like the shiplapping , do u have a router table?

I am building it at my dads and there is a router table there. Also, appreciate the heads up on the wood as it will affect my decision on roof construction (I will build it big enough to cover the shelf as well)
