I'm surprised it has lasted as long as it has, given that it is stored outside [leaning on back of shed!]

sides are OK....covered with exterior ply a few years ago.

Covered bottom with ext. ply, too....but it is falling apart.

Thoughts on material?  Any kind of PVC??????

Wheels & frame are in good shape....I think it is worth saving.

Pressure treated ply.

What size cart is it? You used the description "cart" and not "trailer"...

A more lasting fix still might be 4/4 treated deck boards. The thin gaps allow drainage.

Pressure treated ply loves to warp, so support it well.

I have 1/2" exterior ply on my HF trailer.  I roll some Thompson's WaterSeal every so many years.  Works well enough, and when the ply gets too crappy, I'll just buy another sheet.  13 years old by now, according to the registration that I just renewed.  That's a lot of life from a sheet of plywood in the weather, though it spends half the year folded up in the garage.

MDO plywood. Menards sells it here. Give it a good coat of paint. Or 5/4 deck boards.
