Waterproof exterior drawers?! Who has ever heard of such a thing!! 😎

What happens here

To ensure the drawer contents remain dry, a waterproofing membrane, specifically "ice and water shield," is applied to the top of the outer cabinet box structure. The video briefly shows the internal wooden framing and a black, possibly rubberized, material lining the bottom of the compartments, indicating prior or subsequent waterproofing efforts. The ice and water shield provides a protective layer against moisture intrusion from above.

Goal: Make the outdoor drawer system fully waterproof
