pvc shower panels will do the job..use insulatoin foam instead of adhesive on the back of the panels,and stick to the wall...these are strong and resist damp,also can take a blast from the power washer.

Stokbord Tips

To allow for slight movement once the stokbord has been fixed, make the holes in the board 2mm larger than the screws.
Use round-headed screws or a washer and bolt. Dont use countersunk screws.
Ideally Stokbord should be fixed onto batons on the wall spaced 2-4ft apart. However, you can screw directly to the wall but most people attach to batons or plywood.
