The bunkers on Fanø were built using the so-called standard construction system. For each type of bunker there was a kit with drawings and formwork boards, which allowed mass production with a uniform standard. The walls were between 2 and 3.5 m thick and consisted of up to 1,500 m³ of reinforced concrete. The cost of building a bunker would be around €500,000 today. Although Fanø is made of sand, this was unsuitable for bunker construction because the sand from Fanø is too fine-grained and round to bind sufficiently. The sand therefore had to be procured from the mainland.
