Moisture will be a problem. DAMHIKT.


Security/theft issues aside, which others have already raised, you don't
want to leave good gack in those drawers for any length of time because
it will rust unless you live in someplace like Arizona.


Honestly, from the look of those photos, I'd expect to see a good inch
or two of water in those drawers after a good rainstorm, or after 3
inches of snow melts.

The drawer system is not for "jobs". Ever gone fishing or camping?


Well, going out to work or going out fishing, it's all the same. You're
gonna put the stuff in the back of the truck and either you keep it dry
somehow or you don't. With regard to rain, I don't see the drawers
themselves as the issue. I've seen several homemade drawer systems used
by contractors, and they always looked like a good idea to me, to keep
things organized and somewhat protected.
