Use, treated, exterior and then give a couple coats of paint after a good 
priming.
The stuff is ugly until painted and may have a few knots, but treated and 
painted shold last a long time
Use a couple pieces of angle (aluminum or steel) fastened on the inside to 
set on the cross braces to hold it up.

> the tower using commercial strapping?   You can even get 4' ty-wraps from

Try long hinges on the inside  so the whole thing wraps around the tower, 
use a couple of hasps and locks to close it.
Use round headed carriage bolts so there is nothing on the outside to be 
tampered with.

This makes one that is easy to put on or take off, yet reliably keeps the 
less determined off the tower.
