In that case, I've got a lovely garden out by the fence...

Hold on a sec... You don't want me to look at any flowers, do you?

I think an offshore oil rig would work nicely. Easy to defend, the right one has wind generated power, fishing for food and they are usually stocked with months worth of food and fresh water.

Very underrated.  If you can fish and have water filltration, nothing beats a boat.  But it's a mistake to go ashore, on multiple levels.

Barrels and gutters would take care of most of it...but there are springs close enough.

One advantage we have down here is that every house has hurricane shutters.  And they secure a house pretty quick with enough visibility to move in and out as needed.    That would cover you for the intial .... Then we have a sea escape as well.   But that's dicey .... Ofc there are loads of islands out there east to find.

Going to an island would be a good choice.  If you had the man power to clear the land of the zombies...and it was the kind of place where you could grow enough food.    More susceptible to weather disasters unless buildings are already designed and built there too.

Remotely, I'd hope.

True, but he ability to go ashore them back out is there....

I grew up around boats. The biggest problem with a boat is... it's a boat. If it isn't floating, it's being worked on. Sail boats are the most reliable but also the ones that will be the most susceptible for bad weather.

Also due to the business located near by the ability to quickly build a surrounding wall.

Land for farming...ample wildlife for hunting.
It's pretty easy to pull the hinge pins... I guess that's where the wall comes in.

Outward swinging external doors require the door to be open to remove the hinge pins.

Now that you mention that I'd have to look...

I chose that feature because zombies seem to have a problem pulling doors open vs pushing them open.  And now that I say that I doubt a zombie would have the ability to remove the hinge pins!   Smirk

Other than the one glass door the rest are steel and bolted shut on the inside.

Yeah, you don't just take an inward swinging door, and mount it reverse..

You get a door designed to open outward.

Lake Tahoe. Endless fresh water and fish. Also it's surrounded by mountains and it would be fairly easy to clog the tunnels cutting through them.
