Anyone on here build a walk in safe? I'm thinking of making one, but I'm far from a carpenter... The room will be a 15'x7'. What is the best way to make it secure? Even lowering the distance between studs wouldn't make it impossible to get through. I was thinking doing the standard 18" offset, and using a metal fence as reinforcement under drywall or other walling material. For the ceiling I'm not sure what to do. It would be a few inches of plywood at least. Think that would be secure; maybe a layer of fencing/metal?
A good/strong door that doesn't cost $4k would also be nice; or something strong enough against attack that I can swap out in a year or two would be ideal.
Or maybe I'm just crazy....
ETA: Oh yeah, one wall will be the outside wall of the house, the other is mostly a bathroom that is framed out, but not finished.
