"Why aren’t the top sections welded together?"

It is a lower cost construction technique, to just stand up the panels, and set them in the concrete foundation, without first joining them together (like welding). It is especially easier on sloping/uneven terrain.

One of the prototypes built last year, is a super-bollard design. Very heavy steel with anti-corrosion treatment, in a very solid foundation, joined for a continuously smooth no-grip, extra-large anti-climb barrel top. It was the most expensive design of the eight.

30 Feet tall. Just forget about climbing over this monster.

Gap between beams, looks like someone could squeeze through.

I could easily scale that wall.

I would toss a monkey’s fist over and pull through on the bottom. Then I’d pull a line over (attached to the light line of the monkey’s fist), followed by a Jacob’s ladder (which isn’t really necessary if you use Jumar’s, prussics, and etriers.

However, if the wall were solid, I’d be out of luck unless I had an accomplice on the other side.
