Standard 3/4 plywood with 1X2 cross bracing and edges would suffice. Seal it with a good oil based primer before painting and bracing, and keep an eye on the edges, about 2 inspections per year, looking for more rot. Home Depot can cut all pieces for you, leaving you to assemble the door using wood screws. As for hinges, normal strap hinges would work well.

Simple, yet effective.
