help in destroying stairs
Feb 26 2010, 10:42 PM EST | Post edited: Feb 26 2010, 10:42 PM EST
my house is made PURELY of concrete and steel, not a single plank of wood can be seen in this structure, so in this case how do i demolish my stairs?

the concrete can be done with using a sledge hammer, my biggest problem is the web of steel in the cinder blocks, it would be too cumbersome cut them all up one by one..

any ideas???

If you read deep into the stair manual i think it says dont attempt destroying concrete stairs or stairs that serve as a support for the second floor. Do you find this valuable?

I wouldn't waste my time trying, I'd barricade instead. 2  out of 2 found this valuable. Do you?

Why would you want to destroy the stairs in a concrete house anyways? A concrete building would be great to fortify. 1  out of 1 found this valuable. Do you?

Rather than destroy them, just blockade them with large heavy furniture. Wardrobes, bedframes, bookcases. 1  out of 1 found this valuable. Do you?

Well, you're really SOL unless you have a jackhammer or something. Your best bet is to just barricade your stairs Do you find this valuable?

Maybe you could 'grind' it down with a hacksaw or jackhammer like NovusVerum said. This would make the metal jagged, and not only difficult to climb, but painful to climb, and will cause harm to the Zombies. Of course, you would have to lie a ladder over the top so you can crawl across to get to the top, and then remove it when up there. Do you find this valuable?

I'm going to go ahead and quote myself here to reiterate a point.

My second floor doesn't use the stairs as a support, it has separate pillars for it; I think Ill stick with barricading it. Do you find this valuable?

Concrete house is a bunker anyways. Just barricade the windows and doors. Maybe put an iron gate. I see some houses like that every day on my way to work, they look so cool. Do you find this valuable?

You could cover the stairs with wooden planks or doors to make a difficult ramp.
They did that in one of the stories in the Zombie Survival Guide; It did not stop them but it definitely slowed them down allowing survivors to easily push them down with sticks. You could then barricade the top like what some other people said.

I saw that story too, and my friend suggested that to me; but my stairs have a landing at the middle, for both 2nd and 3rd floors. so ill just barricade.
