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*
the structure is decidedly not precious
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
@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?
(with sharpened edges?)
you can have standard rampart then with a braced triangle on the inside, and slats on the wall on the outside
then any force on it is distrubted along the beam on the back then sent to the ground
I think it's okay to have a horizontal support if it is low
Sargon's Law!

yeah, that's helpful for ramming

there we go, took a while to position
Hui, Tim is a pro Wall person 😉
they could pull it still, but that is less likely
@Misomania I mean, you could do a tensile anchor at the base of the support as well
