Should I paint/seal inside of wood canopy?

[jschall]

My wood canopy is nearing completion. Should the inside be painted or sealed in some way?
I can try to get photos, but it's 1/4" oak ply on a 2-by-2 frame.

If it were me I would use a polyurethane clear coat sealant

So just use the wipe-on poly that i'm using for the outside?

I would use the water proof kind that is used in bathooms. Ata minimum use a kills primer to prevent mold.

I used a waterproof white stain from Home Depot. I figure it would reflect more light then clear sealant.
