The Planks Barricade is a plank nailed across a door or window. It is the cheapest and most common way to secure a safehouse.
It sits in the Barricades part of the Building menu and comes in a single version. It uses the Carpentry skill. The in-game tooltip says the horde can at least be seen before it breaks in. It adds that pointy weapons can attack through it. Any survivor with a hammer, planks and nails can barricade from the very first day. Metal barricades come later for welders who want something tougher.
How to Build Planks Barricade
The recipe is known from the start. Any builder can make it at any skill level. Each barricade gives 10 Carpentry XP.
It takes one Plank and one Nails. A hammer drives the nail and comes back after the build.
Planks can be found, sawn from logs or taken from old furniture. Nails are often found in the same places as hammers and other tools.
Barricading windows is one of the first ways to train Carpentry. Each plank gives a little XP while making the base safer.
It needs Carpentry level 0. Building it gives 10 Carpentry XP.

How to Use Planks Barricade
The plank covers a door or window. Zombies must break through it to get in.
Doors and windows are the weak points of a house. Covering them early buys time when a horde arrives.
Defenders can still strike through the gaps with spears and other pointed weapons.
Notes

- It is known from the start at any skill level.
