Intermodel Container Fortress

[kalos72]

Some of my players have had ideas of using containers as walls to quickly and easily build fortresses for smaller units. These forts would be bases to patrol from through out an area that either is not yet completely secured or one thats security needs to be higher then most for some reason.

They were thinking of taking 10+ containers, filling them with stripped cars or rubble, and building an outer wall. Then filling in the middle with rocks or dirt to create a flat area and then use another row of containers to form an inner wall of a smaller diameter.

There would be walking, possibly driving room along the outer edge of the inner wall.

They are assuming that they will not have to contend with artillery or heavy weapons and mostly the lose marauder band or rioting civilian group.

Sounds feasible to me considering the thousands of shipping containers the NYC area has but are they strong enough to be used as a fortification like that?
