Default Strimming close to wire netting - any ways to make it easy?

For shuttering ply, use Marine Ply - more durable and longer lasting.

Everything else you say still applies. But you must treat the cut edges
thoroughly in wood preservative or water proof glue (2 or 3 applications) to
re-seal them.
