Project Zomboid: How to Board Up Windows

Author : Jack

Securing your shelter in the zombie-infested world of Project Zomboid requires more than just finding a place to hide. This guide shows you how to create basic but effective window barricades to keep the undead at bay.

How to Barricade Windows in Project Zomboid

To board up your windows, gather the necessary materials: one wooden plank, a hammer, and four nails. Once you have these items in your inventory, right-click the window you wish to secure. Your character will automatically begin installing the plank. Each window supports up to four planks for increased protection.

Hammers and nails are commonly found in toolboxes, garages, sheds, closets, and similar locations. Planks are frequently located at construction sites, or can be salvaged by dismantling wooden furniture like shelves or chairs in a pinch. Administrators can use the "/additem" command to spawn these items.

Barricaded windows significantly hinder zombie entry attempts. The more planks installed, the greater the resistance. To remove planks, right-click the barricade and select "Remove." Note that you'll need a claw hammer or crowbar to do this.

Larger furniture items (bookshelves, refrigerators, etc.) are ineffective as barricades; players and zombies will simply pass through them. However, knowing how to move furniture remains a useful skill for interior design purposes.

While stronger barricades can be constructed using metal bars or sheets (requiring sufficient Metalworking skill), this method provides a readily accessible, effective initial defense.
