What type of fence would you think is the most feasible and secure for your base? (infosec.pub)

Ofcourse a 5 meter tall concrete wall would be ideal but good luck building that in the middle of the apocalypse. What do you feel like would be the next best option?

My personal choice currently would be to find rolls of 2 meters tall steel wire fence, locate a secluded hilltop somewhere in the woods near water and pull the fence tight between living trees and finish it with barbed wire on the top, mostly in case of other survivors trying to sneak in.

I'd start by securing a small, maybe 5m x 5m perimeter as the starting point. This can be accomplished in a day and I now have a safe place to sleep in. When I obtain more fencing I would start building a second layer around the first one with about 3 meters of space in between and as my camp grows and I get more supplies I would just keep building additional layers. If there are longer stretches of fence between trees I would add additional posts as well as 45 degree supports to prevent a horde from pushing it over.

Wire fence like this comes with atleast 2 additional benefits of being able to see thru it as well as enabling you to kill zombies thru it with a spear.

I would think the 5th one (big logs) hopefully you have plentiful lumber to build it. From there you would want to build another about 6 feet behind and fill in between with dirt. Pack it down and it would tolerate the pressure of zombies pushing against it. You would also have a platform above them. This would be very time consuming to build though. As long as you aren't dealing with fast or smart zombies it should be doable.
