Wooden Crates to defend a Base?

[Cyrus]

I was wondering...

I have a Wooden Crate against a wall and I can't walk through it. I have another in front of a window and I can walk through it.

My question is, Can you use Wooden Crates as a wall to defend your base? I had a zombie horde break down my log wall. If crates can be used, can they break it?

All player created suff/furniture can be destroyed by zeds.

A refrigerator might work better as a defensive obstacle.

At walls i used bar tiles, placed them only on the outside. Zs couldn´t climb over and attacked them.
You could add them on the inner side, too, but as bar tiles need more wood to be built than walls i switched to build double walls.
Walls can be plastered, too, making them 2 times stronger than a simple wall (checked that).

The bar tiles worked as an extra defense though but i think double (plastered) walls are the best way to build a perimeter.

For windows i used bookcases on the in- and outside.

Iam not sure if this is correct!

Tried it:

Built 2 walls and plastered 1 of it.
Then i took down both of them with an axe.
Normal wall: 10 hits
Plastered: 20 hits

My character had max. carpentry skill and had gained 1 point of strengh.
