I actually think that buying shields most preferably the week shields are actualy the one of most effective ways to get resources. This actually really works better the higher your collectors are (lvl 10 and 11) Like said below the maximum shield time that is possible is 14 days by buying 3 one day shields, 2 two day shields, and 1 one week shield. This will all cost 850 gems. So with full lvl 11 collectors you can harvest 6 million of gold and elixar. this is better than buying the resources with gems because it cost way less. Buying 6 million in gold only costs 1933 gems and still another 1933 gems for elixar too. so 850 gems is certianly less then 3866 gems. another benefit is usualy you will want to save this money up to ugrade defenses, so if you did this without a shield and just putting your town hall outside like others said was the better idea, attackers will see you upgrading your defenses (even like a mortar), ans that will give them an advantage, and it would be way more likley for someone to attack you not only for town hall but also for 100%. And the shield gives you 14 days when have you ever even gone 2 days without being attacked ( no shield)
