Wrong material… Gonna be nasty in short order. All wood absorbs rabbit piss and that material is glued Nasty and toxic. Your rabbits chew on that and some may die. But it for sure will smell like piss, swell and then the ammonia from their own piss will burn their lungs and kill them. It doesn’t matter that the bottom is a screen they will get piss all over the sides too in short time.
Use a metal cage.

Paint or waterproofing on the outside wood to help protect it from rain

You needed to clad that board with metal or some polymer. Straight composite will not last long.

Rabbits need a **lot** more space than that, they need to be able to hop around. They also do better with water bowls rather than those bottles.
What type of wood did you use? If it is cedar, pine, or treated wood, it’s toxic to rabbits. There are other wood types that are also toxic to rabbits, but those are the most common toxic woods for lumber.
And, that wire mesh on the bottom will give them sore hocks (painful sores on their feet).
