anything can work

Zombies are stupid and slow not like the running zombies in movies

A barricade doesn't need to be bullet proof, but if your afraid of other humans then keep reenforcing as you find new material

use a Car if possible to block doors or windows

use the furnature in your home

old tires if you got them

rebar sindar blocks and concrete to make a stone wall

wood, chain, wire

start by locking the doors, then put something infront of them
shut all windows and nail them shut or board them up if possible
I recomend watching dawn of the dead and night of the living dead the origanls not the remakes

Just noticed that there is not much info on maintaining tools, here is a link to a site on saws, they sell saws and saw maintenance equipment.

Files are good to have for sharpening axes, cleaning up chipped edges on knives and swords, taking off the mushrooming on hammers and chisels, and just general metal removal.

Contrary to video games, barrels filled with oil won't blow up if shoot or set on fire. If shot, the oil will start to squirt out, and if set on fire, the barrel will just remain on fire until extinguished or burnt out.

Exterior Barricades:
I'd stick with chain link, due to ease of installation and construction. A properly installed chain link fence is not going to fall over like the one's in the movies. I would however make my chain link fencing a double row, about 8 feet apart, with concertina wire laced in between them and topped with barbed wire.

If you've ever constructed a sand bag wall of any height or width, you'd know just how much effort and not to mention sand (dirt) is required to build one. Masonry walls are just as bad, due to the extensive foundation work required to make them stable.

Interior Barricades:
Can really be anything. You can cover plywood with sheet metal for a very robust barricade. Plywood can also be made extremely tough, just be using an old construction method of crossing the grains. You take three thin sheets of plywood and lay the first sheet down. The second sheet is cut in half and then their rotated, so the grain of the wood goes perpendicular to the bottom sheet. The plywood is glued to each other with construction glue. Then the third sheet of plywood is glued on top of the second layer. Once these sheets are glued and cured, this new-engineered plywood is tougher than hell to break apart.

You can also use chain link gating in a building for securing hallways and / or stairways.

I’ve even thought, that given time you could make a drawbridge type of stairway for access to your second floor. Once you’re up there for the night, you just draw up the stairs and drop them again in the morning.

Windows/Doors:
I’d just nail and bolt chain link with tension bars, over the outside of the first floor windows. That way I could still open them for ventilation.

For doors I’d use chain link gating to cover them and on the inside I’d have 3/8 inch steel drawbars to jam the door in its frame. You’d need a battering ram to dislodge the door
