They have been using drones to fly drugs over them. I like the BP being able to see.

Agreed. That's very important. The chosen design is the best one for now, and it will sufficiently delay anyone trying to get over or through it. Any wall can be quickly cleared or breached. Thick concrete, which would require forms and unobtainable amounts of expensive resources in short supply, would be the most expensive and slowest to build by far.

But yeah, it would look so cool and Medieval, as seen in virtual architecture in the video games. And it would the first material to occur to those who are great civil engineers in their own minds. And then there's stone: the stuff of ancient empires with millions of abused, dying slaves. ;-D

We live in a time with many Internet users who've spent much of their lives as consumers of television and all that it has to take.

You put up the fence you free up a lot of BP to shoot down those drones.

Large, rolled, steel tubing at the top of a wall would be astronomically expensive (steel fab shop reality). Anyone clearing it would simply throw or fire a rope over it with a weight on the end of the rope. The weighted end would then be snagged and pulled through to the side of the people doing the work to allow one of them to climb the knotted rope. A ladder would follow. All doable within a few minutes.
