How to build a seed library annex

Many people commented on the North Napa seed library annex and asked, “How was it built?” Jeff explained how he put it all together.

“The seed library was built around a repurposed bathroom cabinet. The particleboard cabinet was not weather-resistant so the project simply involved constructing a weatherproof shell around the cabinet—essentially a “jacket” and a “hat.” Finally, it was mounted on two 4x4 posts at the build site near the sidewalk for easy public access.”
