The end of the world is coming – zombie style.
If you’re among those who believe life on Earth will be destroyed by the rotting waves of undead, the time to prepare is now.
First up, your home.
Here’s our list of the top zombie-proofing tips, to prevent the nasty flesh-eaters from having a munch of your brains:
Doors
Steel trumps wood every time. Upgrade with strong hinges, bolts and reinforcement – just remember to leave yourself an escape route.
Windows
Glass doesn’t put up much fight against shambling corpses, so sealing these off is more important than pushing a fridge against the frame.
Zombie moat
Some experts say this is the first line of defence – shuffling zombies will likely plunge into the moat and trap themselves. Don’t forget to clear out the moat with fire often.
Staircases
Slow but steady… Those hungry buggers will eventually stumble up the staircase, so why not rig it with traps or destroy it altogether? Make sure you have a ladder handy if you need to flee though.
Hiding spots
We all love zombie horror movies, but getting snaked by the walker behind Grandma’s shrubs is not okay. Consider levelling out the yard to give you a wholesome view of the hoard.
Cellar
The last thing you want is to put the defences to shame by forgetting to block the cellar door off. Good thing most South African homes don’t allow outside access through the basement.
Provisions
When Z-Day hits, everyone raids the shops. Rather avoid the bandits and mobs by stockpiling your non-perishables for dark days to come. You’ll be glad when the undead come a-knocking.
And if all else fails, go online and buy one of the latest anti-zombie homes. If you’ve got the dough, why not make sure the zombies are kept on the outside.
