Home sweet home
Try baricate yourself in a house with several floors. Start by baricate first floor, nailingall the windows so that you can not see or can get through. Amplify then the door so that it can not break so easily.
Cover the door with sheet metal or wood to make it stronger, put three studs [1] on the inside of the door for extra protection.
Then build a barrier so that one can separate the floors from each other, so if they get in on the bottom floor, you can prevent them from reaching higher. One way is to build a thick door that blocks the staircase.
Therefore, store all that you need on the top floor so you can reatch your supplies even if a bunch of zombies invade your base. That is why you should have a house with multiple floors, the apartment complex is good, you can find food and other things you can avail yourself of. But it can also be dangerous and you have to check every room carefully so that no zombies is there.
It's always good to be creative, take advantage of everything you find, you never know what you might think of doing.
For example, you will find a cap. Save the time and try to find more, when you have a dozen, you can flatten them so they're sharp and then attached to a baseball, wood or plank to make a dangerous weapon, or put them in a sock as a crushing weapon.
You never know what you'll find that may be useful for later so try to save everything you find (maybe not the chairs and tables) but what you can carry. But if you stay, then you can pick on all you need.
Another option is to have portholes from there you can run and shoot at oncoming attackers.
Now, if you have decided to stay in one place so try then build a shelter around you, a high fence could work if the zombies can't climb.
A high palisade would provide stronger protection when several zombies who knock on, a palisade is more efficient if you first build a high wooden fence and 2-3 dm behind you build another one, in between putting your soil or scrap to make the stockade stronger.
To get the earth while making your community safer, you can build a deep moat which is either so deep that you can't jump up or that it takes a while to get up. Then you can use the soil you removed with shovels to put between your fence, and the rest you can put in front and behind to make it more stable.
Have you done it with metal instead of wood, you can sharpen the top so that if someone tries to climb over cuts his fingers or if you properly sharpen the cutting of fingers on whoever wants to climb over.
Do you have your base is the advantage that you can block the side roads and just leave a few open where you can make your way through. The disadvantage is that it requires a lot of resources to turn the wide roads and alleys, but you have plenty of resources, and plan to stay a long time, it may be worthwhile. Another disadvantage is that if there is a densely populated area, it is certainly a lot of zombies that constitute a great danger before you got up your blockade.
[1] A high up on the door, one in the middle and one near the bottom. It will give a balanced protection to the door and protect against unwanted guests.
Recommended buildings to set up a base:
schools
Farm
Apartment
But if your stationary base infested and you have placed traps and obstacles, then take a look at how close they came and how they went. See where they came from and how they approached the various traps. They just walked straight past you may have to put more traps and obstacles.
They came into the very center of your base, you need to definitely get yourself a better defense, you base the center must be as protected as possible. Will a large horde and get through the outer defenses and your center is not well protected, you will all either die or suffer severe losses.
Did you check when a wall then it broke down and the zombies came in, then repair the part and reinforcing it, and also look for similar places and injuries and fix it as soon as possible.
