Have you seen the design for the Bollard Fence Design (steel slat picket-fence) that DJT has been talking up this week ? What do you think of it ? How penetrable ?
The design features a see through capability, which has plusses and minuses. Steel like spikes crown each picket. Costs would be considerably less. Construction time minimized. Trump calls it beautiful. It certainly is more appealing than a concrete wall.
Your thoughts please
But note they do not show them getting over it....
Well then provide a picture of it.
I’ll post them for you if you can give the site where they’re shown?
Nobody is going to pull the ladder up and setting it down the other side. You are going to rope down the other side.
To scale a 30 foot wall you need a 35 foot extension ladder for the 12 foot setback needed for stability. The ladder would weigh about 80 LBS. Putting one of those on a fence will cause a lot of noise as you pull the extension up and bang it on the fence. It will be enough to trigger the sensors. Climbing it will also trigger sensors. Roping down the other side will need mountain climbing experience and lots of luck. That 30 foot fall will kill.
Depends upon whether the steel tubing is filled with concrete.

I did
No doubt there’s various walls and steel or whatever fencing utilized depending on the area’s. One thing for sure you won’t see a caravan of hundreds trying to get over it.
The drones would track the fence jumpers, giving constant GPS location as they flew. If there were several jumpers, there would be several drones. If they jumped in cars, the drones could outrun them, get license plate numbers and get facial recognition information when they got out.
....... Never underestimate the strength and cunning of your enemy ....
I’ve seen ship-to-ship refueling. First they shoot from a gun a projectile tied to nylon line as thin as kite string out to the refueling ship. They tie a rope to the end of that and pull that across. Then they pull a steel cable across. The heavy refueling hose is pulled across on that. It all takes time. However, climbing a rope is no easy feat. Doing it without making noise is impossible because Israeli technology is in our hands to detect the noise.
Too easy to pass drugs through.
With a 12 foot setback you can climb a 30 foot wall with a 35 foot extension ladder. When the latter is slid together it is 15 foot. That’s a lot of ladder (80 LBS) to mount on a car.
You would want to rope down the American side.
Are we talkin’ magnetic Steel, or are we talkin’ non-magnetic Steel?
....... You ever notice what is stacked on the other side of the so called Slat Wall? ...... Looks like nicely delivered stacked sections of the wall waiting to be installed along the line. Just sayin'. And TW ... what do these climbing dudes do when they reach the plates above the Slats? ..... If they actually make it to the top .... Heck .... that would be quite a fall to the earth below. And FYI ..... You are correct, however ..... Low cost Razor wire along the top would be an amazing and simple deterrent.
Hover boards and battery operated power winches might be too expensive for the run-of-the-mill fence jumper. I don’t see the wife and kids using them. They would be a single use device unless there was a way for others to retrieve them. It is all too complicated for my thinking and much that could go wrong.
so did the Chinese with the Great Wall of China and the Romans with Hadrian’s Wall to keep out the Norsemen and Goths/Teutons (I believe), and maybe the Angles and Saxons. Lots of invaders always itching for a fight and loot.
Simple solution? Make the edges sharp as a razor blade, few people would be willing to grab them.
........ In Reality ...... Yes .... But a few on this board think that they are the norm .... Thus my statement.
