Nah. Bollard fence is the 30 foot design they are building now.
It stops everything. There is no "suitable equipment". The bars cannot even be pried apart. Some wildlife can make it through, but it'll stop all humans and all cars at 40MPH.
That's why illegals are now rushing the manned checkpoints.
1 : a post of metal or wood on a wharf around which to fasten mooring lines.
2 : bitt sense 1.
3 chiefly British : any of a series of short posts set at intervals to delimit an area (such as a traffic island) or to exclude vehicles.
Practically bollard fences allow people through but block vehicles. This appears to be a deviant use of the term. For instance the Las Vegas strip is bounded by bollards. They are actually pretty fancy and reinforced to the point they can stop a big truck.
And again in my young prime I likely could have free climbed that fence. But at worst a rope over the fence and 30 seconds. This is not hard stuff.

And yet people don't. Border crossings are down where the walls exist. Fun fact.
They could build a wall 1,000 feet high and every old Democrat could have easily scaled that "in their prime".
Ok.
When I was working in Yuma back in 2012, we had a migrant fall to his death when he tried to scale the 30 ft bollard. He was a young healthy man in his 20s.
Good luck trying go get women, children, and elderly migrants over that 30 ft bollard

Another fun fact. The last person who tried scaling them broke both legs trying. The good physical barriers have cut back illegal entry by 80-90% where they are erected.
