US border fence on the Mexico border, east of Nogales Arizona USA, and Nogales Sonora Mexico, viewed from US side, approximately 4 miles east of the Port of Enry in downtown type of barrier is “bollard” style construction, composed of 6” x 6” heavy steel tubing anchored in concrete and extending16 feet or more above ground level, making it difficult for individuals to climb for access to the United States, and hard to cut through. For that reason, it is a “pedestrian barrier”, unlike shorter barriers which only block vehicles. The gap between bollards is less than 6”. Note the specialized design at the lower right of image to allow water passage for this creek bed location. The border fence is not a contiguous structure across the US boundary with Mexico, but is found in segments of relatively higher frequency of attempted border crossing.
