well, it just needs to be onerous, unhelpful, rigid, and sharp at the top
imagine if the length were barbed, would be nasty as hell
that's pricey
you get much less wall if you try to barb the whole thing
Phew
Caska?'
Are you guys talking about the wall
@Misomania rectangular extrusions I think are the best value frankly
biggest worry about the wall though is can it handle a car or truck hitting it. The walls so far seem unable to
But they're gonna be YUGE
@Misomania they are wider, and when you cut them off diagonally, you get two sharp ends for just one cut
@xorgy can't put the flat facing side out then, and need a brace on the inside as well
if it's one large cold extrusion, you can do that diagonal cut at the narrow end of the variable wall extrusion
then cut straight across in the center of the diagonal cuts

you get two tops per diagonal cut, and a continuous variable extrusion
But what if a armoured vehicle rams into it? It may damage the precious structure lol @xorgy
If it was hallow*
also, hollow tubes are almost as strong as solid ones
That's why they keep snipers
thanks to the skin effect
@xorgy used to work as a aluminium and steel plant that made those via extrusion actually, 😉
erh, not skin effect
what's it called in physics...
tube theory?
Working class Southern Californias think its precious ;) lololol
overall our i-beams had greater cross section strength against bending
hmm
beams might be an okay choice
the problem I see is that they make hooking and grappling easier
They gotta deep in the earth too
They be diggin tunnels
@Misomania I wouldn't make all the slats resistant to ramming, that would be a waste of money
the other problem with I beams is that they are easier to scale than tubes
@xorgy well no, but two braces and a single i-beam between them covers a lot
With all this grass root fundraising, the big winner is gofundme, they are laughing all the way to the bank.
maybe I beams are the better choice where ramming is a primary concern, and we can afford to patrol
@Misomania what about a T beam?
