Image shows US border fence and white historic boundary monument on the Mexico border, west of Nogales Arizona and Nogales Sonora Mexico . This type of barrier is an older type of “bollard” style construction, composed of round 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 regarded as a “pedestrian barrier”, unlike other barriers which only block vehicles. The gap between bollards is less than 6”. Bollard fencing was introduced as an improvement over the older “landing mat” barrier. 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. In this area, the fence extends approximately five miles west of the Nogales Port of Entry.
